Job description

Overview

Ashby is hiring a versatile product engineer who can build reusable blocks across the stack and advocate for thoughtful design and architecture. Engineers ship features end-to-end at a high pace, with ownership and input from product, design, and engineering teams. The role involves owning significant portions of a product and contributing to competitive differentiation through research, specifications, wireframes, and implementation.

Responsibilities

Take ownership over a large portion of one of Ashby’s products and own projects end-to-end, including researching competitors, writing product specs, creating wireframes, and implementing solutions.
Design and build automated scheduling features and other components that improve the product and user experience; contribute to generalized architectures (e.g., declarative filters, SQL backends) used by multiple features.
Collaborate with product, design, and engineering to ship high-quality software with a balance of speed and quality; participate in product discussions, user research, and decision-making.

What We’re Building

Ashby aims to provide top-tier tooling for Talent Acquisition and beyond, with a focus on delivering powerful, intelligent software that enables TA teams to operate more effectively. The role includes building in an environment that emphasizes ownership, minimal process, and deliberate communication.

Qualifications and What You’ll Bring

You’re not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack and will take necessary actions to deliver features, with support from a design system and SRE.
You thrive with ambiguity at the intersection of product and technology and can build abstractions and flexible solutions for customer problems.
You balance speed and quality, having contributed to products that required customer adoption and significant reliability.
You are ambitious, receptive to feedback, and ready for greater ownership and responsibility.
You are an excellent collaborator and communicator, able to vet decisions with stakeholders and work with others to complete projects.
You seek to create leverage in your work by automating or abstracting repetitive tasks.
