While also the product-market fit and scale of a growth-stage startup: tens of thousands of daily users who depend on your software and eagerly await your next feature.We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.You’ve probably seen this role posted before, and it’s because we’re always expanding the team (we’re on track to double this year).About the Role and How We WorkOur 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.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.Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby.What We’re BuildingAs engineers, we are used to tooling that makes us better at what we do. When we started Ashby, we saw the opposite with Talent Acquisition software.So, we built and continue to build Ashby to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling.Why You Should or Shouldn’t ApplyHere 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.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 CultureOur engineering culture is motivated by Benji’s and my belief that a small, talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast (and work regular hours!). We do it through:Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and designNatural collaboration and deliberate communicationInvesting in tools and abstractions that give us leveragePutting effort into building a diverse teamMinimal Process & Lots of OwnershipAt Ashby, every Engineer runs their project. Product Managers (and Designers) build strategy, do customer research, and hand off problem briefs to Engineers. Engineers take on the rest: they research the problem, write product specs, build wireframes, and implement their solution end-to-end.Collaboration is Natural & Communication is DeliberateWe combine collaboration with research, prototyping, and written proposals to see around corners and get feedback from the team across time zones. Focus time is something that we hold sacred.We also meet in person at least twice a year, once as a department and once as a company.Increase Leverage, not Team SizeWe built Ashby with the quality, breadth, and depth that many customers would expect from much larger teams over larger time scales.Interview ProcessOur interview process is three rounds:Introduction call with Hiring Manager (15 to 30m, live)A technical screen where we pair in our actual codebase (1h, live)Three non-coding interviews that focus on product thinking, technical design, and infrastructure (3h 15m, live can be split across multiple days)Depending on our leadership team’s bandwidth, we may start with an additional 30m screen with a recruiter.Your First Three Months at AshbyYour dev environment is set up with a single script; you push your first product change on day one; and you spend the rest of your time shipping product changes that give you a tour of our codebase and best practices.Your manager will do a 30, 60, and 90-day review to give feedback and calibrate on how we work together.Technology StackI’m sharing our tech stack with the caveat that we don’t require previous experience in it (but a love of typed languages is helpful 😀): TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis.BenefitsCompetitive salary and equity.10-year exercise window for stock options.Unlimited PTO, and we will encourage you to take it.A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, covered by Ashby.Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.$100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.If you’re in the US, top-tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. In other countries, supplemental health insurance is fully covered.Please read Engineering Levels and Compensation to learn how we level Engineers and approach compensation across different locations.The posted range represents the typical compensation range for this role. To determine actual compensation we review the market rate of each candidate which can include a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and location.Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.Ashby is committed to a fair and transparent hiring process.
