Design Engineer - Americas

Ashby is seeking a Staff-level Design Engineer to join their Americas team in a role that uniquely combines frontend development and design expertise. This position requires at least 5 years of experience and offers a salary range of $170K-$260K with equity.

The role is perfect for engineers who want to break free from the traditional separation of design and development. You'll be responsible for tackling complex design challenges while implementing solutions using React, TypeScript, and other modern technologies. The position involves expanding the company's design system, building reusable components, and consulting on design work across the organization.

Ashby's engineering culture emphasizes collaboration, autonomous ownership, and work-life balance. The team deploys multiple times daily, uses modern development tools, and focuses on building powerful, customizable products. Engineers own projects end-to-end, from user research to implementation.

The company offers an impressive benefits package including unlimited PTO, generous family leave, comprehensive health insurance, and ongoing education support. Their tech stack includes TypeScript, React, SASS, Apollo GraphQL, Node.js, Postgres, and Redis.

Working at Ashby means joining a team that values diversity (26% of engineers from underrepresented groups), provides meaningful ownership, and focuses on sustainable growth rather than just team expansion. The interview process is practical and collaborative, avoiding traditional leetcode-style questions in favor of real-world problem-solving.

The company is well-funded with strong revenue growth and backing from notable investors like YCombinator and Elad Gil. They're building sophisticated talent management software that combines power with usability, similar to how spreadsheets balance accessibility with advanced capabilities.

This remote position offers the flexibility to work from various locations across the Americas, with competitive compensation varying by location and experience level. The role presents an opportunity to shape the future of work tools while being part of a thoughtful, inclusive, and high-performing engineering team.
