Magic

At Magic, we believe in shipping fast and often without compromising the craftsmanship of our offerings. We get there by diligently refining the scope of what we ship, we value security and a delightful user-experience above a checklist of supported features and functionality.

Our product engineering teams are verticalized with an EM, backend, and frontend engineers. This enables them to tackle problems and build features with greater autonomy, as most requirements can be owned end to end within the teams. The engineering team work off of 6 week product development cycles, where features and products are scoped, designed, implemented and launched every cycle. Teams further subdivide the 6 week into weekly sprint cycles where each cycle begins with a standard sprint planning meeting where the week's chunk of work is planned, and assigned to engineers on the team.

We are a product-driven team, and our engineering teams work closely with product, and design — getting the opportunity to take ownership of the solutions very early on in the product development lifecycle by deeply understanding the problems that we are trying to resolve.

We embrace agile development. Automated testing is our Swiss army knife and code review is a must. We are consistently improving our processes and procedures to further support our fast-iterating development cycle. We push to production numerous times a day. We hold the same standard to our newhires as we expect them to push to production on their first day.
