Job description

At Magical, we empower organizations to automate the complex, manual workflows that are essential to their operations. We’re building a brand new product, and this is your chance to join as a founding engineer. In just a few months, we’ve already hit product-market fit and closed six-figure deals with a clear path to much bigger contracts. We’re not starting from scratch either: our existing product has generated millions in revenue. Now, we’re evolving that user base toward our agentic future while consistently bringing in new customers.

You’ll work in a small, nimble team tackling challenging, ambiguous problems at the cutting edge of technology and learn something new every day. We believe the effort and raw hours you put in directly shapes the outcome. Speed matters, and we move with focus and intent.

Projects you might work on

• Desktop Cloud VMs - Architect and manage our cloud-based Desktop VM infrastructure, providing a resilient foundation for our agents.

• Hyper-Scale Agent Platform - Design and evolve our infrastructure to seamlessly handle 10s of millions of agent executions monthly.

• Verification Platform - Make sure our agents do what they say they’re going to do, every time

• Multi-agent architecture - Build and refine how multiple agents collaborate to solve complex workflows

About you

• Have 3+ years of software engineering experience in a strongly typed language such as TypeScript, Go, or Rust

• Experience architecting, developing, and managing complex systems at a scale

• Have a strong bias towards action, a willingness to do whatever it takes, and embody show > tell

• Have a strong sense of agency, effectively prioritizing and unblocking yourself without much outside input.

• Studied Computer Science (or related field), or dropped out to build stuff

What we offer

• A chance to be an early team member at a fast-growing, ambitious company

• The opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI

• A modern stack and the latest tools to do your best work

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity

• Unlimited PTO

• Fun team offsites, past trips include Iceland, Lisbon, Cancun, and Costa Rica
