Staff 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.

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 combined with the product-market fit and scale of a growth-stage startup with 100,000+ weekly active users.

About the Role and How We Work

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:

• Designed and built automated interview scheduling via our responsive web app.
• Built a generalized declarative filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters for any record and compile it to SQL.
• Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby.

What We're Looking For

• Comfortable tackling any part of a technology stack (frontend to infrastructure).
• Thrives at the intersection of product and technical ambiguity.
• Knows how to strike the right balance between speed and quality.
• Ambitious, open to feedback, and looking to improve skills.
• Excellent collaborator and communicator who creates leverage in their work.

What You Shouldn't Apply If:

• You want a staff/principal role focused on project management or architecture reviews rather than building.
• You need company-driven process, sprint planning, and structure to get things done.
• You want to mentor earlier-career engineers (over 90% of our team is Senior or above).

Engineering Culture

• 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.
