Product Engineer - Canada

Ashby is seeking an ambitious full-stack Product Engineer to join their team in building intelligent talent acquisition software. This role offers a unique blend of early-stage and growth-stage startup environments, providing significant autonomy in product development while working on a platform used by thousands of daily users.

The position involves end-to-end ownership of projects, from product specification and design to implementation. Engineers at Ashby work in an environment that minimizes meetings and maximizes productive development time, with most engineers attending less than 2 hours of meetings per week. The company serves notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake, with strong growth metrics and financial stability.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working across the entire technology stack, using TypeScript, Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, and Redis. The role requires someone who can balance technical excellence with practical delivery, work independently while collaborating effectively with team members, and contribute to both product and technical decisions.

Ashby's engineering culture emphasizes ownership, agency, and leverage through automation and tooling. The company has built sophisticated systems with a relatively small team by investing in developer experience and reusable building blocks. They maintain a strong focus on quality while moving with appropriate urgency, having built the equivalent of multiple VC-backed startups with a compact team.

The company offers competitive compensation, including equity with a 10-year exercise window, unlimited PTO, comprehensive health benefits, and various allowances for equipment and education. They maintain a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, with ongoing efforts to improve representation in their engineering team.

This role is ideal for experienced engineers who thrive with autonomy, enjoy product development beyond pure implementation, and want to work in a high-impact environment with minimal process overhead. The position offers the opportunity to shape significant features of a growing product while working with a team of accomplished engineers in a supportive, learning-oriented culture.
