Full Job Posting

About the Role

Ashby is seeking a versatile, persistent product engineer who builds reusable components across the stack and advocates for time to do foundational work.

Engineers ship features end to end at a high pace and own projects with substantial product and technical agency.

The role combines the scale of a growth-stage company with the ownership and low-meeting environment of an early-stage startup.

Product Engineering Ownership

  • Own a large portion of a product and drive projects end to end.
  • Research competitors and customer needs, write product specifications, make product and design decisions, create wireframes, and implement solutions.
  • Work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure as needed to deliver features.
  • Build reusable abstractions, automation, and tools that create leverage for engineering and support teams.

Who Should Apply

  • Candidates should be comfortable tackling any part of a technology stack and working through product and technical ambiguity.
  • Candidates should balance speed with quality, take ownership with limited oversight, and communicate clearly with stakeholders and engineers.
  • Candidates should be open to feedback and able to drive projects rather than relying on others to distribute tasks.
  • The role requires prior ownership of projects and comfort working as a hands-on individual contributor.

Engineering Culture

  • Engineers run their projects, research problems, write specifications, build wireframes, and implement solutions end to end.
  • The culture emphasizes minimal process, ownership over product and design decisions, natural collaboration, deliberate communication, and leverage through tools and abstractions.
  • Engineers collaborate with product managers, designers, infrastructure, support, and other engineers while keeping stakeholders informed.

Product Context

Ashby builds talent acquisition and talent management software, including scheduling, filtering, offer signing, onboarding, and performance management capabilities.

The company describes a growing product used by more than 100,000 weekly active users and serving customers including Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.
