Software Engineer - Product

Magic’s mission is to build safe AGI that accelerates humanity’s progress on the world’s most important problems. We believe the most promising path to safe AGI lies in automating research and code generation to improve models and solve alignment more reliably than humans can alone. Our approach combines frontier-scale pre-training, domain-specific RL, ultra-long context, and inference-time compute to achieve this goal.

As a Software Engineer on the Product team, you’ll be responsible for building and maintaining our product surfaces, which are vertically integrated into our model (LTM) and infrastructure. These surfaces are used both by our end-users (customers) and our technical staff internally. Engineers on the product team are comfortable working across the technical stack, from building user interfaces to working on backend API services, and everything in between. Product engineers collaborate directly with our design team, as well as product leadership, and our machine learning engineering teams.

• A command-line tool which allows users to pair with LTM to write code, execute commands, and answer questions about a local codebase

• A web-based application which allows users to use LTM in a cloud-based development environment and manage Magic account settings

• Partnering with research teams closely to turn their work into applications and public-facing offerings

• Iterating and scaling our product offerings globally

• 5+ years of deep product engineering experience. This is a newer team and we’re looking for people to help us navigate the unknown

• Experience or interest with AI-first products and applications

• Deep design sensibility and past experience collaborating with design groups

• An ability to turn highly technical engineering and research into a seamless and usable product
