Staff Software Engineer - Product

Ashby is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their product team in building intelligent hiring software that serves notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. The company has achieved significant success with tens of millions in ARR and over 100% year-over-year growth.

The role offers a unique blend of early-stage and growth-stage startup environments, where engineers have significant autonomy in product development while working on a platform with established product-market fit. As a Staff Engineer, you'll own large portions of the product development process end-to-end, from writing specifications to implementation.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable working across the entire stack using technologies like TypeScript, Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL. The position requires someone who can balance technical excellence with practical delivery, has experience leading projects with both product and technical complexity, and can work effectively in a highly autonomous environment.

Ashby's engineering culture emphasizes ownership and agency, with minimal meetings (less than 2 hours per week) and a focus on thoughtful communication. The team values building leverage through great developer tooling and reusable components rather than just growing team size.

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

Working at Ashby means joining a team of lifelong learners who are humble and kind, with a culture that emphasizes quality, ownership, and continuous improvement. The position offers significant growth opportunities through expanded responsibilities and direct impact on product direction and company success.
