Job description

Hi I’m Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We’re looking for a versatile, persistent product engineer who’s not afraid to set up reusable building blocks across the stack and advocate for the time and space to do so. At Ashby, all our engineers ship features end-to-end at a high pace. We’ll give you the room to do your best work, and you'll be our guide! If that speaks to you, read on.

What Ashby gives you is the best of early‑stage agility and growth‑stage scale. You write product specs, make product and design decisions, and ship features for tens of thousands of daily users who depend on your software.

About the Role and How We Work

We build an environment that empowers engineers to own end‑to‑end products. As a Product Engineer, you’ll design and implement features that span the entire stack—research competitors, write specs, produce wireframes, and ship solutions that impact our 10+ million users.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build automated interview scheduling, solving the “Calendar Tetris” problem for recruiters.
• Build a generalized declarative filter architecture that lets users create complex filters for any record, which compiles to SQL in our backend.
• Specc, design, and implement a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby, integrating feedback from customers and coordinating with cross‑functional teams.

Interview Process

• Intro call with Hiring Manager (15‑30 min).
• Technical screen where we pair in our codebase (1 h).
• Three non‑coding interviews focused on product thinking, technical design, and infrastructure (3.25 h total, may span multiple days).

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10‑year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Minimum of 12 weeks fully paid parental leave.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
• $100/month education budget.
• Top‑tier health insurance for all employees and dependents, fully covered.

Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or sexual orientation.
