We're looking for a versatile, persistent product engineer who's not afraid to set up reusable building blocks across the stack and advocate for the time and space to do so.
At Ashby, all our engineers ship features end-to-end at a high pace.
Example is the best leadership.
We'll give you the room to do your best work!
If that speaks to you, read on.
Hi I'm Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering.
Our engineering culture strives to recreate the environments where we did our best work as ICs – where we had the ownership and agency to impact our users with creative and innovative software.
As a Product Engineer, you'll take ownership over a large portion of one of our products and own projects end-to-end (wearing hats traditionally worn by product and design).
You'll research competitors, write product specs, make wireframes, and more.
To ground it with examples, product engineers at Ashby have:
Designed and built automated candidate scheduling.
This feature automates scheduling by calculating possible times from a pool of interviewers and other constraints, and then presenting these times to the candidate for selection via our responsive web app.
Built a generalized filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters for any record with a consistent UI and compile it to SQL in our backend.
Many user-facing features use it.
Spec-ed, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby.
This project involved talking to customers to understand their requirements, deciding what technologies to use, building a prototype, and working with other team members to integrate the final implementation into additional features.
What We're Building
Ashby provides talent teams with intelligent and powerful software that provides insights into where they're failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they're underwater with.
We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered and extended by power users.
Why You Should or Shouldn't Apply
Software engineers come in many flavors, not all of which fit our model.
Here are some things to help you decide if this fits you and what you're looking for:
You're not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack.
You do what's necessary to successfully deliver a feature, whether writing frontend or choosing new infrastructure.
We'll provide a supportive environment to do it successfully.
You've tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity, and the intersection of the two is where you thrive.
You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality.
You are ambitious and always looking to improve your skills.
You're an excellent collaborator and communicator.
You seek to create leverage in your work.
Put another way, you shouldn't apply if: You need company-driven process and structure to get your projects across the finish line.
You only want to do exciting work.
You can get lost in the details.
You haven't led or taken ownership of projects before.
You want to mentor earlier career engineers.
A tech lead, staff, or principal engineer, to you, is someone who spends most of their time project managing or doing architecture reviews.
Interview Process
At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self.
Our interview process is three rounds:
30-minute introduction call
A technical screen (take home or 75-minute in-person)
A virtual on-site of 4 hours and 15 minutes (can be split across two days)
Your hiring manager will be your main point of contact and prep you for interviews.
If we don't give an offer, we'll provide feedback!
Your First Two Months at Ashby
We want an exceptional onboarding experience for every new hire.
At Ashby, your dev environment sets up with a single script, you push your first change on day one, and we spend the rest of the time building your confidence in our codebase and practices.
Technology Stack
I'm sharing our tech stack with the caveat that we don't require previous experience in it: TypeScript (frontend & backend), Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis.
Benefits
