Description For Principal Product Engineer - Americas

Ashby is seeking a Principal Product Engineer for their Americas team to join their fast-growing enterprise SaaS company. This role offers a unique blend of early-stage autonomy and growth-stage stability, with the opportunity to work on a product used by thousands of daily users including notable companies like Notion, Shopify, and Snowflake.

The position is perfect for a versatile engineer who thrives on end-to-end product development and isn't afraid to set up reusable building blocks across the stack. You'll work in an environment that emphasizes engineer ownership and agency, with minimal meetings (less than 2 hours per week) and the freedom to drive both technical and product decisions.

The tech stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, and Redis, though prior experience with these specific technologies isn't required. The role offers competitive compensation ($200K-$260K), equity with a 10-year exercise window, unlimited PTO, and comprehensive benefits including full health coverage for US employees.

What makes this role special is the combination of technical depth and product ownership. You'll be responsible for everything from competitor research and product specification to implementation and deployment. The engineering culture emphasizes quality while maintaining rapid development pace, with strong investment in developer tooling and reusable components.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable with ambiguity, able to balance speed and quality, and excited about working in a collaborative environment where engineers spend most of their time building rather than managing. The role requires excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently while keeping stakeholders informed of progress and decisions.

This is a remote position open to candidates across the Americas, with a strong emphasis on asynchronous communication and thoughtful collaboration across time zones. The company has shown impressive growth with tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, and maintains very low churn with several years of runway.
