Job Description
Ashby is hiring a Senior Product Engineer for the Americas. The job centers on owning a large part of one product and carrying projects from first research through to shipped code, with the engineer also writing the product specs and designing the interface.
Ashby builds software for talent acquisition teams and has recently launched talent management products. The company says HR teams have asked it to help with areas such as onboarding and performance management. Reported figures include more than 100,000 weekly active users, ARR in the tens of millions growing more than 100 percent a year, and very low churn. Named customers include Notion, Linear, Shopify and Snowflake.
A product engineer at Ashby researches competitors, writes specs, sketches wireframes and builds the solution. The company offers examples such as an automated scheduling feature that matches candidates to available interviewers, a generalized filter architecture that many features reuse, and a feature that lets candidates sign offers inside the platform. Ashby describes an environment with little process and strong ownership, and says the team is largely senior, so mentorship is limited. The role suits engineers who want to work with minimal oversight and handle customer problems from start to finish.
Responsibilities
- Own a large portion of one Ashby product, from research to release
- Write product specs, design wireframes and decide on product behavior
- Build software across frontend and backend, including infrastructure choices
- Speak with customers to shape requirements and choose technologies
- Coordinate with product managers, designers and infrastructure teams when needed
- Build reusable tools and abstractions that other features can use
Requirements
- Experience running projects with little direct oversight
- Comfort working through unclear product and technical problems
- Ability to decide when to move quickly and when to invest in quality
- Clear communication and willingness to take feedback
- A preference for building leverage through automation and abstractions
