Requirements
- In addition to working with engineers you’ll also get to work on projects yourselves.
- 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.
- In many ways, spreadsheets set the bar here.
- At the core of Ashby is a set of common components (analytics modeling and query language, policy engine, workflow engine, design system) which we are constantly improving.
- We think of AI as a way to automate the mundane parts of building and maintaining high-quality software.
- We write in detail about our philosophy, current use of AI, and future plans for AI in Engineering here https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/engineering/ai-ashby-engineering-and-the-future.
- All of us in technical leadership did our best work as engineers when we had a deep understanding of the end-user and the business and ownership over the solution.
- You'll spend most of your time understanding a specific part of our codebase and write less than 15 lines of code. 4.
- experience: TypeScript (frontend & backend), Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis.
- Please be advised that we may use artificial intelligence-driven tools to assist our recruitment team in screening, assessing, and selecting candidates for this position.
Benefits
- One of my proudest achievements is creating a fully transparent pay system, and on the day it was revealed, everybody was happy with it. Nobody stormed out.
- By spending time thinking deeply about everybody’s pay and ensuring the mechanics of promotion were clear, I put the team in a place where they could see a peer was paid more than them, and it not be a problem.
- It’s not great, and we are taking conscious steps to improve, like sourcing diverse candidates, providing generous paid family leave, no leetcode interviews, and more.
- 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.
