Magic is one phone number that you can send a text message to 24/7 and get anything you want, whenever you want it. Food, flowers, plane tickets, reservations, electronics, you name it.

Our vision is to build Magic into the command line interface to the world; it is an API for everything. You can’t sudo make me a sandwich but you can magic make me a sandwich. Magic is a unified plaintext interface that sits as a layer of abstraction over the set of all possible products, services, and actions.

Engineering at Magic

Engineering team and processes

We have quite a small engineering team with members taking ownership of their projects, and helping each other out to succeed. Philosophically we embrace the principles of YAGNI and DTSTTCPW.

Technical Challenges

We're building a lot of software to help our Magicians be more efficient and leveraged. This is a cool problem because you get to build the software from first principles, with a really tight user feedback loop.

Projects you might work on

You would design and build out an API that allows businesses to integrate Magic directly into their product.
You would build an iOS app completely from scratch.
