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. 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. Key Responsibilities Designed and built automated interview scheduling to calculate possible times from a pool of interviewers and constraints, presenting these times to the candidate for selection via our responsive web app. 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. This project involved talking to customers, deciding technologies, building a prototype, and integrating the final implementation into additional features. Qualifications - What We're Looking For You're not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack and do what's necessary to deliver a feature, whether writing frontend or choosing new infrastructure. You've tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity and thrive at the intersection of the two. You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality, moving with urgency while maintaining high quality. You're ambitious and always looking to improve your skills, open to feedback, and thrive in a high ownership environment. You're an excellent collaborator and communicator, vetting decisions with stakeholders and working with other engineers to finish projects. You seek to create leverage in your work through automation, abstractions, and tools that improve efficiency. Qualifications - When You Might Not Be a Fit You need structured processes like sprint planning and well defined project management to move projects forward. You only want to do exciting work and prefer a team that focuses on high level ideas over hands on engineering. You get lost in details and prefer everything planned upfront. You haven't led or taken ownership of projects before and are used to working with technical leads. You want to mentor earlier career engineers in a team where most of the engineers are senior and mentorship opportunities are limited. You expect a tech lead, staff, or principal engineer to spend most of their time project managing or reviewing architecture rather than building. Interview Process Introduction call with Hiring Manager ( min, live). A technical screen where we pair in our actual codebase (1 h, live). Three non coding interviews that focus on product thinking, technical design, and infrastructure (3 h 15 min, live, can be split across multiple days). Depending on leadership bandwidth, an additional 30 minute recruiter screen may be added. First Three Months On day one, you'll set up your dev environment with a single script, push your first product change, and start shipping product changes. Over time, tasks will increase in scope from copy changes to impactful features. Your manager will conduct 30 , 60 , and 90 day reviews to give feedback and calibrate progress. 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. Minimum 12 weeks fully paid parental leave (longer outside the US as per regional requirements). Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. $100/month education budget. Top tier health insurance for US employees and high quality supplemental insurance for employees outside the US, fully covered. EEO Statement 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. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
