Job Description
This Senior Product Engineer role at Ashby is for someone who likes building reusable foundations across a product's stack and argues for the time to do it well. Ashby engineers own features from start to finish, so this person would write product specs, shape product and design choices, and build the work in a company with very few meetings.
Ashby sells software to talent acquisition teams and has launched talent management products aimed at HR. The company says it has more than 100,000 weekly active users, serves customers such as Notion, Linear, Shopify and Snowflake, reports very low churn, and is on track to double its engineering team this year.
The work covers a large share of one product, competitor research, wireframes and customer conversations. Ashby offers examples such as automated interview scheduling built from interviewer pools and constraints, a generalized filter architecture that compiles to SQL, and a signing-offers feature that lets candidates finish offers inside Ashby. The company describes its process as light: product managers hand off problem briefs, and engineers research, specify, design and deliver their own projects. It also says it moves with urgency and has done the work of three or more venture-backed companies with a small team.
Responsibilities
- Take end-to-end ownership of a significant part of an Ashby product
- Write product specs and wireframes, and research competitors
- Make product and design decisions alongside the technical work
- Engage with customers to understand their requirements
- Build reusable components and abstractions across the stack
- Coordinate with other engineers and stakeholders to get projects across the finish line
Requirements
- Willingness to work on any part of the stack, from frontend to infrastructure
- Prior experience owning projects rather than only executing tasks handed down
- Comfort working through product and technical ambiguity
- Strong judgment about when to move fast and when to invest in quality
- Openness to regular feedback and clear, deliberate communication
- A desire to create leverage through automation and tooling
