About The Position

SnapMagic is building AI for PCB design. More than 2 million engineers use SnapMagic every year to discover electronic components and design products faster. Behind the scenes, we're building the operating system for electronics design: one of the world's largest electronics component databases, a platform the industry already trusts, and a new generation of AI tools, starting with our AI-assisted design product, that take engineers from idea to working hardware faster than ever. We have strong revenue growth, proven product-market fit, and backing from leading Silicon Valley investors including Y Combinator. The next chapter of how the world's hardware gets designed is being written now, and we want you in the room for it. The Opportunity Build an incredible product and own it. Millions of engineers use SnapMagic to build everything from fully electric aircraft to connected toys to life-saving medical devices. We're now rebuilding how they find components and design with them using AI. You'll build and own our AI-assisted design tool and the AI products around it, working directly with the founder, Product, and Customer Success to ship things hardware engineers rely on every day. This is a founder-mentality role on a small, product-focused team. We're resourceful, curious, and biased toward action. Expect to be challenged, learn, teach, and grow.

Requirements

Hands-on hardware experience: you've designed, built, or debugged circuit boards, or you have a strong inclination and track record in that direction
3+ years building full-stack web applications, ideally with Django, including high-throughput systems
A builder's instinct: you ship, you iterate, and you've made things people actually use
Product sense: you care about adoption and engagement as much as the code
High ownership and a bias toward action
A product-oriented engineering approach with good habits around testing and code review.
Comfortable with ambiguity and able to solve problems independently. You’re highly responsible and resourceful, and you figure things out without waiting to be told how.

Nice To Haves

Have built your own hardware projects and want to build tools you'd want to use yourself
Enjoy shipping as much as designing
Care about the craft but never lose sight of the customer
Thrive in small, high-accountability teams

Responsibilities

Own all of the company’s software related to electronic design and CAD models, including the AI-assisted design tool and our other AI products.
Take AI-assisted design tools and other AI products from idea to production and keep them improving, with accountability for whether people actually use them.
Be obsessive about detail and design validation, as engineers will build real boards from what our tools produce.
Focus on product outcomes, not just features, caring about usage and engagement, and deciding what to build next.
Work in close contact with hardware engineers, talking to users, learning what matters in their workflow, and ensuring shipped products are viable and legitimately useful.
Deliver full-stack solutions using Postgres, Python, Django, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, in applications that perform reliably for millions of engineers.
