About SnapMagic

SnapMagic is already the default discovery layer for electronic components, used by over 2M engineers at many of the world’s largest hardware companies. Since our seed round, we’ve doubled revenue with a small team operating at a high bar.

We’re now building SnapMagic Copilot: an AI system trained on one of the largest proprietary electronics datasets in the world to radically speed up how hardware gets designed.

This is a rare chance to own meaningful pieces of the product, and help define core infrastructure for the electronics industry.

About the role

SnapMagic is building the digital growth engine for the global electronics industry.

Our core platform, SnapMagic Search (formerly SnapEDA), already reaches 2M+ engineers annually and is the default discovery layer for electronic components. We’re now scaling SnapMagic Copilot, built on a proprietary dataset of 10M+ components, serving as the discovery and demand layer for the global electronics industry.

We’ve doubled revenue since our seed round with a small team operating at a very high bar.  What we need now is someone to turn momentum into a machine.

What you’ll do

We’re hiring a Head of Operations to own and run all operations end-to-end.

This is a hands-on builder role with full ownership of how the company operates day to day.

Your mission is simple: Build and run a well-oiled operational machine so the company can scale at an ever-faster pace. You own clarity, cadence, and follow-through across the company. When something is unclear, broken, or slow, you take ownership of fixing the system.

You will own business operations, people operations, internal tooling, and executive operations end-to-end. You’ll work closely with the CEO and functional leads as a trusted partner in execution and decision-making.


You will:

  • Run the company’s weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythms with discipline and consistency
  • Own finance and revenue operations: payroll, commissions, invoicing, forecasting, dashboards, expense hygiene, and cash flow
  • Own recruiting and people operations: hiring pipelines, onboarding, compliance, and internal enablement
  • Maintain clean, reliable systems across HubSpot, financial tooling, documentation, and internal workflows
  • Own executive operations, including company cadences and all-hands execution
  • Design, automate, and improve processes — while ensuring things work accurately before they are automated
  • Rally engineers, vendors, and teammates directly to make systems work — without default escalation


Your bar is simple and high: the trains run on time. This role is deeply satisfying for someone who takes pride in building systems that let teams move faster, leaders make better decisions, and the company scale without chaos.

How we work

  • In office: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • Remote: Tuesday, Thursday

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) (non-matching)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Catered lunches on in-office days
  • A sharp, low-ego, fast-moving, results-driven team

Requirements

This role is for someone who:

  • Has owned operations at a seed or Series A startup and knows where systems break first
  • Is obsessively detail-oriented while thinking in systems, not checklists
  • Asks incisive questions that accelerate execution and improve decisions
  • Gets satisfaction from things working cleanly and repeatedly
  • Is calm under pressure and steady in high-responsibility environments
  • Holds themselves to standards higher than anyone else will
  • Values action over commentary and ownership over proximity
