About the role

  • Help build a different type of engineering team and culture at Ashby.
  • Focus on building your team, their skills to thrive with the ownership they’re given, and an environment that empowers them to do their best work consistently, with little distraction.
  • Provide feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality.
  • Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention.
  • Jump into systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve developer experience.
  • Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts to help keep up-to-date on our codebase while impacting the business.

Requirements

  • You love being technical and can hold in-depth conversations with direct reports from infra to backend to frontend.
  • You enjoy management problems. We want people who get excited about driving people to be their best, giving difficult feedback, and building systems that make this easier.
  • You hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from getting into the details and giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team.
  • You are an excellent and empathetic communicator. Facilitating change at both an individual and organization level requires understanding how to navigate the beliefs, opinions, and past experiences of engineers and figuring out how to both convince them of a new way of doing things while also leaving yourself open to feedback.
  • You know what exceptional engineers look like. You’ve thought deeply about what makes them tick, how to recruit them, and how to grow folks into them.
  • You’re good at thinking about product, business, and maybe even design, but you’re not interested in calling the shots and are more interested in building a team that can make the best decisions without you.
  • You thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. We're a young startup where leaders wear multiple hats, and you'll build your own (high-speed) on-ramp through developing strong feedback loops.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity.
  • 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
  • Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅.
  • Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
  • $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
