Staff Software Engineer, Product Engineering - UK

At Ashby, we're looking for a versatile, persistent product engineer who isn't afraid to set up reusable building blocks across the stack and advocate for the time and space to do so. All our engineers ship features end-to-end at a high pace in an almost-no-meeting culture.

About the Role

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 Past Projects

• Designed and built automated interview scheduling to solve the "Calendar Tetris" problem.
• Built a generalized declarative filter architecture allowing users to create complex filters with a consistent UI compiled to SQL in our backend.
• Specced, designed, and implemented a feature allowing users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby.

What We're Looking For

• Experience tackling projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity at the intersection of both.
• Ability to strike the right balance between speed and quality.
• Ambition, openness to feedback, and a desire to continuously improve skills.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to vet decisions with stakeholders.
• Focus on creating leverage in work through automation, tooling, and abstractions.

What We're Not

• We don't want tech leads, staff, or principal engineers who spend most of their time project managing or doing architecture reviews rather than building.
• We don't rely on company-driven process, sprint planning, or well-defined project management structures.
• We don't have mentorship opportunities for earlier-career engineers since over 90% of the team is Senior or above.
