Ashby is seeking an ambitious full-stack engineer to join their Product Engineering team in the UK. This role offers a unique blend of early and growth-stage startup environments, providing significant autonomy in an almost-no-meeting culture while working on a product with established market fit and thousands of daily users.

The position is ideal for engineers who thrive on end-to-end ownership, from writing product specs to making design decisions. Ashby's engineering culture emphasizes giving engineers the freedom to impact users through creative and innovative software solutions. The company has achieved notable success with customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake, demonstrating strong growth metrics and financial stability.

As a Product Engineer, you'll take ownership of major product areas, handling everything from competitor research to implementation.

The team maintains a strong engineering culture that values thoughtful communication, developer experience, and technical excellence.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable tackling any part of the technology stack, handle product and technical ambiguity well, and strike the right balance between speed and quality. The role offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work with a high-performing team where over 90% of engineers would be considered Senior or above in the industry.

Ashby provides a supportive environment with excellent onboarding, minimal meetings (less than 2 hours per week), and a focus on deliberate communication. The company values diversity and inclusion, offering equal opportunities and welcoming people from all backgrounds. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers looking to have significant impact while working with modern technologies in a flexible, remote environment.
