Job Description
Ashby is looking for a Staff Product Engineer based in Canada. The role suits a versatile, persistent engineer who likes to build reusable components across the stack and makes time for that work. Ashby engineers take features from idea to launch, so this person writes product specs, makes product and design calls, prototypes ideas and implements the result.
Ashby makes talent acquisition software for recruiting teams and has recently launched talent management products. The company reports more than 100,000 weekly active users, names Notion, Linear, Shopify and Snowflake among its customers, and says its ARR is in the tens of millions and growing more than 100 percent a year.
Product engineers own a large portion of a product and run projects from research to launch. That includes researching competitors, writing specs, making wireframes and talking with customers. Examples from the team include an automated interview scheduling feature that works out candidate times from interviewer pools and constraints, a declarative filter system that compiles complex filters to SQL on the backend, and a feature that lets candidates complete offer signing inside Ashby. The company describes minimal process and says most of its engineers are senior or above, so mentoring opportunities are limited.
Responsibilities
- Own a large part of one Ashby product and run projects from research to release
- Research competitors, write product specs and create wireframes
- Build features across the stack, including frontend work and infrastructure decisions
- Talk with customers to understand requirements and shape the solution
- Create reusable building blocks and abstractions that other features can use
- Coordinate with other engineers and stakeholders to finish projects
Requirements
- Willingness to tackle any part of the technology stack to deliver a feature
- Experience with projects that involve both product and technical uncertainty
- Good judgment about balancing speed and quality
- Openness to frequent feedback and a drive to keep improving
- Clear, concise communication and collaboration with stakeholders
- Interest in creating leverage through automation, abstractions and tooling
- Prior experience leading or owning projects, not only taking on tasks assigned by others
