Hi I’m Abhik, Ashby's Co‑Founder and VP of Engineering. We’re looking for an ambitious full‑stack engineer who is laser‑focused on solving customer problems and making the right long‑term investments to solve them not only today but in our future features and products.
We give you the best of both early and growth‑stage environments. The agency and no‑nonsense of a seed startup: you write product specs, make product and design decisions, and build in an almost‑no‑meeting culture. While also the product‑market fit and scale of a growth‑stage startup: tens of thousands of daily users depend on your software and eagerly await your next feature.
We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best‑in‑class among our peers: tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, very low churn, and many years of runway.
About The Role And How We Work
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 interview 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. This solves the “Calendar Tetris” problem.
* Built a generalized declarative 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.
* Specced, 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 is built to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling. Software that’s 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 want other functions and departments to be jealous of what TA teams can do with Ashby, and today they often are!
Why You Should or Shouldn’t Apply
* 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 you thrive at the intersection of the two.
* 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.
* To you, a tech lead, staff, or principal engineer is someone who spends most of their time project‑managing or doing architecture reviews.
Engineering Culture
* Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design.
* Natural collaboration and deliberate communication.
* Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage.
* Putting effort into building a diverse team.
Technology Stack
* TypeScript (frontend & backend)
* React
* GraphQL API
* Node.js
* Postgres
* Redis
Benefits
* Competitive salary and equity.
* 10‑year exercise window for stock options.
* Unlimited PTO, and we encourage you to take it.
* A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
* Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
* $100/month education budget with manager approval for conferences and other items.
* Top‑tier health insurance for you and your dependents with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby.
