Hi, I’m Abhik, the Co-Founder and Head of Engineering at Ashby. With a growing engineering team, a change that improves the efficiency of every engineer is often more impactful than a product change. Given that, we must have someone focusing on this full-time. As our first developer productivity engineer, you will define and own the future of developer experience at Ashby. You’ll work with a team that shares your passion for creating an engineering environment unhindered and empowered by tools. You will for example:

Investigate and contribute to open source libraries like jest and ts-jest to reduce the memory usage of tests (or switch us to a new framework!).
Create a tool to debug our workflow engine that visualizes an active workflow, what nodes have executed, and a log of what actions the system took.
Build a CLI tool that runs our local environment and allows engineers to register required or optional services without modifying the CLI source code.
Reduce our CI build time by parallelizing tests and other processes using services like GitHub Actions.

We prefer candidates with at least three years of experience as an engineer. This role requires versatility (you’ll be moving across languages and frameworks) and empathy with engineers, so we want someone who has built and shipped software at scale (or helped teams do it in a similar role as this one).

Engineering Culture

Our engineering culture is motivated by the belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast (and work regular hours!).

Collaboration is Natural & Communication is Deliberate

Our engineering team consists of lifelong learners who are humble and kind. These attributes create an environment where collaboration happens naturally. We combine this with research, prototyping, and written proposals to see around corners and get feedback from the team across time zones. Focus time is something that we hold sacred, and, with thoughtful and deliberate communication, engineers can focus 36h out of a 40h work week.

Give Engineers Ownership & Autonomy

We, as engineers, find clever ways to solve problems, which amplifies when we deeply understand the problem. Our engineering culture reflects this experience: engineers own projects end-to-end, from speaking with users to writing product specs to UX design. These are skills that we often don’t get to practice as engineers, and, at Ashby, we provide mentorship to grow them and help from the team where you want it.

Put Effort into Diversity

Diverse teams drive innovation and better outcomes. We are taking conscious steps to improve our diversity by sourcing diverse candidates and providing generous paid family leave.

Interview Process

At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together via pair programming. Our interview process is three rounds:

30-minute introduction call
A technical screen (take home or 75-minute in-person)
A virtual on-site of 3 hours and 30 minutes (can be split across two days)

Your hiring manager will be your main point of contact and prep you for interviews. If we don’t give an offer, we’ll provide feedback!

Your First Two Months at Ashby

We want an exceptional onboarding experience for every new hire. At Ashby, your dev environment sets up with a single script, you push your first change on day one, and we spend the rest of the time building your confidence in our codebase and practices.

Technology Stack

I’m sharing our tech stack with the caveat that we don’t require previous experience in it: TypeScript, Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis.

Benefits

Competitive salary and equity.
10-year exercise window for stock options.
Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year.
Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
$100/month education budget.
If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents.
