About the company
Magentic builds an AI agent platform for supply chain and procurement teams, with AI “teammates” the company calls Mages. Magentic says the product is designed to plug into messy enterprise environments like ERPs, then help teams find and execute savings opportunities and workflow fixes. Public announcements show Magentic raised a $5.5M seed round in July 2025, led by Sequoia Capital alongside First Momentum and Westly Group. Magentic positions the company around outcome-based value for manufacturers rather than seat-based software.
Locations and presence
Magentic lists office locations in London (UK) and New York (US). Job posts also reference hybrid working in London and in-person time with colleagues.
Palpable Score
56.0
/ 100
Magentic pays well and is unusually explicit about interview stages, including time-bounded take-home work and a paid in-person final stage. The overall score stays mid-range because most visible roles are senior and there is almost no public evidence yet of early-career progression, retention, or repeat junior hiring.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

5.0
/ 20
  • The company’s publicly visible roles lean heavily senior, including a Full Stack Engineer post asking for 6+ years of experience.
  • Magentic’s AI Product Engineer role also reads as experienced-hire only, focusing on shipping LLM systems to production and owning end-to-end delivery.
  • The company does not show clear 0–3 year pathways such as “Associate”, “Junior”, internship, apprenticeship, or rotational roles on the sources reviewed.
Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

16.0
/ 20
  • The company lays out a structured interview flow in at least one posting: an initial call, a take-home task scoped to 2–3 hours, then an in-person final stage and a CEO conversation.
  • Magentic explicitly states the in-person half-day final stage is paid, which reduces candidate risk compared with unpaid “trial days”.
  • The company includes equal-opportunity language and an accommodations statement for candidates with disabilities in a public job description, which is a concrete fairness signal.
Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company’s interview design includes a “culture interview” that explicitly covers how candidates like to work and how they want to develop their career, which hints at ongoing feedback expectations.
  • Magentic positions at least one engineering role as working closely with the CTO on a core product area, which can translate into hands-on senior exposure for the person in post.
  • The company’s job descriptions emphasise autonomy and speed (“own end-to-end”, “prototype today, deploy tomorrow”) but do not spell out onboarding plans, mentoring time, or level-based growth milestones that help early-career hires ramp safely.
Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

17.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes strong salary ranges on public postings, including £110,000–£120,000 for a Full Stack Engineer role and £125,000–£135,000 for an AI Product Engineer role.
  • Magentic includes “competitive equity” in multiple postings, plus benefits such as enhanced parental leave, pension arrangements, and a set holiday policy including a Christmas shutdown day.
  • The company adds stability signals like visa sponsorship (with constraints) and a consistent hybrid model, rather than pushing precarious contract-only arrangements.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.0
/ 20
  • The company has limited public outcome data so far: no clear evidence of junior promotions, early-career retention over 12–24 months, or repeated cohorts of entry-level hires.
  • Magentic is still early in company age and team size, which naturally reduces the amount of track record candidates can verify before joining.
  • The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows a small team and active hiring posts, but this does not substitute for visible progression stories, alumni outcomes, or early-career retention signals.
