Description For Principal Product Engineer - Americas

At Ashby, we're building an innovative recruiting platform that combines powerful analytics, automation, and customizable workflows. As a Principal Product Engineer, you'll have the unique opportunity to shape our product and engineering culture.

Our engineering approach emphasizes ownership and agency - you'll own projects end-to-end, from user research to implementation. You'll build reusable components and abstractions that power features like automated interview scheduling and declarative filtering systems.

We have a low-meeting culture focused on thoughtful async communication. Engineers typically spend less than 2 hours per week in meetings. Our tech stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, and Redis.

Notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify and Snowflake rely on our platform daily. We're growing >100% year over year with tens of millions in ARR and very low churn.

You'll thrive here if you:

  • Are comfortable tackling any part of the tech stack
  • Can handle product and technical ambiguity
  • Strike the right balance between speed and quality
  • Seek to create leverage through automation and abstraction
  • Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively
  • Take ownership of projects end-to-end

The role offers significant autonomy - you'll write product specs, make design decisions, and build features with minimal process overhead. We emphasize building the right abstractions to solve whole classes of problems rather than one-off solutions.

Our engineering team consists of humble, kind lifelong learners. We've built an environment that encourages innovation while maintaining high quality standards. Our CI/CD takes ~10 minutes and we deploy 10+ times daily.

We offer competitive compensation, a 10-year window for stock options, unlimited PTO (with 4 weeks recommended), 12 weeks paid family leave, generous equipment budget, and comprehensive health benefits for US employees.

Join us in building powerful software that makes recruiting teams more productive while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
