Hi, I’m Blaine, Director of Engineering at Ashby. In my career as both a software engineer and leader, I’ve found that I work best when I have a deep understanding of the customer, ownership over designing solutions, and a talented team of colleagues. I joined Ashby because I saw an engineering team that was intentionally built from the ground up using these two principles as starting points. We have ambitious plans for the next year, and I’m looking for managers to help us mentor and grow our North America engineering team.

Engineering leaders come in many shapes and are often asked to fill many roles to adapt to the needs of their team(s). At Ashby, we’re specifically looking for engineering leaders who:

• Care deeply about delivering quality products to customers, but look to celebrate and facilitate the wins of their team more than making product decisions themselves.
• Are most happy when they can hire and grow teams of talented engineers that they can then trust to make both product and engineering decisions.
• Value teams built on psychological safety, diversity, the ability to take risks, and honest but kind feedback. Engineers should feel supported by not only their manager but also by their peers.
• Experience in DevOps tooling or leading DevOps teams is a big plus!

In your first three months, you can expect to:

• Take over day-to-day management of a talented and experienced team of engineers focused on a few domain areas.
• Play an active role in recruiting and hiring engineers to grow your team.
• Work alongside your team to help ensure they are making the right product and technical investments and are applying their talents in places of maximum leverage to ensure the product and team stays healthy and successful.

One formality: we do require at least 2 years of experience as a full-time software engineer and 1.5 years of experience as an engineering people manager for this role.

What We’re Building

At Ashby, we’re improving the productivity of working professionals with intelligent and powerful software. We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered and extended by power users.

Engineering Culture

Our engineering culture is motivated by our co-founders' belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast.

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.

Increase Leverage, not Team Size

We built Ashby with the quality, breadth, and depth that many customers would expect from much larger teams over larger time scales. We’ve done this through investment in:

• Great developer tooling. Our CI/CD takes ~10m, and we deploy at least 5x a day.
• Building blocks to create powerful and customizable products fast. At the core of Ashby is a set of common components which we are constantly improving.

Give Engineers Ownership & Autonomy

We 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.

Put Effort into Diversity

Diverse teams drive innovation and better outcomes. I believe in building diversity into the DNA of organizational culture methodically and intentionally.

Interview Process

Our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. Our interview process is four rounds:

• 30-minute introduction call
• A technical screen
• A deep dive on people leadership and mentorship
• A virtual on-site of 3 hours and 30 minutes (can be split across two days)

Technology Stack

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 with more expensive items covered with manager approval.
• Top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents.
