Design Engineer, Ashby

• This is a staff-level role, so we require at least 5 years of experience as a full-time frontend engineer or evenly split between frontend and design for this role and significant contributions to (or leading) design systems
• We're looking for folks with deep React, CSS, and HTML knowledge for this role

• While every engineer can design and build, you’ll tackle our most challenging design problems and help others improve their designs by expanding and enhancing our in-house design system and consulting on bespoke work
• To ground it with examples, engineers who can design at Ashby have:
• Redesigned our mobile web app by talking with customers who use it often, wireframing new flows, implementing its design system, and using it to make the wireframes a reality
• Built a set of flexible, composable components in our design system that allow other engineers to build custom autocompletes. These autocompletes can contain filters, options to create new records, etc
• Helped another engineer improve their design's information hierarchy and scannability for viewing a candidate’s assessments. Recruiters can quickly parse information and pick out anomalies

• 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, writing tech specs collaboratively, and talking through decisions (no leetcode or whiteboard exercises). Our interview process is three rounds with some casual Zoom (or in-person) coffee in between to get to know each other:
• 30-minute introduction call to discuss Ashby and your past work (we demo Ashby!)
• A technical screen (take home or, for more experienced folks who want it, a 90-minute live session)
• A virtual on-site of 3 hours and 45 minutes (can be split across two days)
• Your hiring manager will be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews. You’ll meet other engineering leaders and 4 to 6 engineers (with 15 minutes in each interview to ask them questions). If we don’t give an offer, we’ll provide feedback!

• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year
• 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
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave 🇺🇸

Total funding: $64.5m

Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
