Software Engineer, Product Engineering

About the Role

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.

What Ashby gives you in return is 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 who 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 over 100% year over year, very low churn, and many years of runway.

Our engineering culture strives to recreate the environments where engineers had the ownership and agency to impact users with creative and innovative software.

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.

• Designed and built automated interview scheduling, automating 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 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, involving customer conversations, technology decisions, prototyping, and integration with additional features.

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. We’re not building a simple CRUD app, and many of the challenges we tackle require you to use your knowledge of our customers to build powerful abstractions and flexibility.

You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality. Ashby wasn’t built quickly. We moved with urgency while maintaining high quality.

You are ambitious and always looking to improve your skills. This role gives you more freedom and responsibilities than you’ve experienced.

You’re an excellent collaborator and communicator. Ownership and freedom don’t mean you work in a vacuum.

You seek to create leverage in your work. The nature of software allows you to automate or abstract tedious work.

We value minimal process and high ownership. If you need company‑driven structure, want to focus only on the technical details, or prefer elaborate planning upfront, this may not be the right fit.

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. Building a diverse team.

• Competitive salary and equity.
