Senior Software Engineer, Product Engineering - EU

Hi 👋🏾 I’m Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We’re looking for a versatile, persistent product engineer who’s not afraid to set up reusable building blocks across the stack and advocate for the time and space to do so. At Ashby, all our engineers ship features end-to-end at a high pace. Example is the best leadership. We’ll give you the room to do your best work, and you'll be our guide!

What Ashby gives you in return is the best of both early and growth-stage environments. The agency and no-nonsense of a seed startup: you write product specs, make product and design decisions, and build in an almost-no-meeting culture. While also the product-market fit and scale of a growth-stage startup: 100,000+ weekly active users who depend on your software and eagerly await your next feature.

About the Role and How We Work

At Ashby, we’re building an environment that is optimistic about what engineers can own and achieve. An environment that embraces innovative engineers, and, frankly, often stays out of their way. As a Product Engineer, you’ll take ownership over a large portion of one of our products and own projects end-to-end (wearing hats traditionally worn by product and design). You’ll research competitors, write product specs, make wireframes, and more.

Examples of projects product engineers at Ashby have built:

• Automated interview scheduling: Calculates possible times from a pool of interviewers and other constraints, presenting these times to the candidate via our responsive web app.
• Generalized declarative filter architecture: Allows users to create complex filters for any record with a consistent UI and compiles it to SQL in our backend.
• Offer signing: Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby.

What We’re Looking For

• You’re not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack and do what’s necessary to successfully deliver a feature.
• You’ve tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity, thriving at the intersection of the two.
• You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality.
• You are ambitious, open to feedback, and always looking to improve your skills.
• You are an excellent collaborator and communicator who seeks to create leverage in your work.

Engineering Culture

Our engineering culture is motivated by our belief that a small, talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast (and work regular hours!) through:

• Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design
• Natural collaboration and deliberate communication
• Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage
• Putting effort into building a diverse team
