Design Engineer - Americas

Hi 👋🏾 I’m Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. This role is close to my heart because, as someone who can both design and code, it’s where I’ve always done my best work. We are doubling our Design Engineer team from five to over ten in the next year.

This role truly expects you to design and code. Design Engineer at Ashby isn’t just a Frontend Engineer with new branding, nor is it a Designer vibe coding prototypes. Combining excellence in both is where magic happens.

What You'll Do

• Work on our most challenging design problems, help others improve their designs by expanding and enhancing our in-house design system, and consult on bespoke design work needed by Product Engineers.
• Redesigned our mobile web app by talking with customers who use it often, wireframing new flows, implementing its design system, and using that system to turn the wireframes into a polished UI.
• Build a set of flexible, composable components in our design system that allow other engineers to build beautiful, consistent setup wizards across our product easily.
• Help Product Engineers improve the information hierarchy and scannability of their designs.

Why Ashby?

• Work on a product at scale with over 100,000 weekly active users and notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.
• Consistent leadership commitment from our founders since 2020.
• Shape the UI and UX of a powerful, complex product that balances approachability with advanced automation.

What We're Looking For

• You have 2+ years of continuous experience as an Engineer or a Designer.
• Good proficiency in both Design and Engineering, with exceptional proficiency in the discipline you practice full-time.
• Experience designing products and shipping code to hundreds of users.

Engineering Culture

• Minimal process with high ownership over decisions normally made by product and design.
• Natural collaboration and deliberate communication (engineers spend <2h in meetings per week).
• Investment in tools and abstractions that give us leverage, including CI/CD that takes ~10m and deploys at least 15x a day.
• In-person gatherings at least twice a year.
