Company mission

To free the global workforce of mundane, soul-crushing tasks.

Role

Who you are

  • We're looking for an impact-driven intermediate, senior, or staff engineer passionate about solving hard problems
  • 3+ years of industry experience in full-stack development, preferably in: JavaScript (TypeScript), React, Node.js, and SQL/NoSQL
  • Always learning: you're eager to pick up new skills, quick to experiment with APIs and libraries, and learn about new technologies
  • Innovative & adaptable: you find effective solutions and work collaboratively
  • Cross-functional: you interface with a variety of stakeholders and end users to help make the most impactful and effective technical solutions
  • Driven towards excellence: you care about code quality and building systems that uphold high standards and minimize tech debt
  • Autonomous: Can take vague requests and get them done without needing too much help

What the job involves

  • You'll be joining an experienced founding team with senior engineers from Mozilla, Spotify, LinkedIn, and Apple on a mission to automate mundane, soul-crushing tasks
  • You'll have the opportunity to make a major dent here - you, along with a few other engineers, will be building a data graph used by over 50,000 companies to help standardize the internet
  • You'll have direct product input and shape our roadmap as we grow to 1M users
  • We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered
  • Contribute across the stack to further bolster our flagship Chrome Extension with everything from UI components to REST APIs to database models
  • Develop and deliver features from inception to implementation
  • Dive into infrastructure and dev-ops to help scale the delivery of our back-end (AWS)
  • Architect for the future of clients we intend to build (web, desktop, mobile)
  • Lead Magical’s design and component system to build strong reusability across Magical’s surface areas
  • Building the monetization foundations for users and companies to manage plans and payments
  • Scaling our infrastructure (AWS) to serve tens of millions of requests each day
  • Using on-device machine learning models to recommend personalized and contextual automations to users as they work

Our take

It’s generally accepted that most workers in many sectors will complete at least one repetitive computer task within their work day. Magical is a platform hoping to remove the ache of these mundane tasks through its automation system.

The company doesn’t use specific integrations or APIs rather simply collects repeatedly used data that can then be collated on the likes of a google sheet or email. The platform stops you from typing the same thing over and over by populating repeatedly used text such as contact information. It's said to save an average of seven hours of work a week with its free-to-download chrome extension.

Founded in 2020, Magical is at a relatively early stage but has already attracted considerable funding. The company intends to use its 2022 funds to expand operations and continue development efforts to expand its features. The company has worked with over 10,000 businesses including Salesforce, Uber, Bolt, Disney, and Facebook. In 2023, Magical released a collaboration tool that boosted productivity by 20%, so it'll be exciting to see what other features it has up its sleeve as the company scales up.
