Staff Software Engineer - Product Engineering, EMEA

Ashby is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for their Product Engineering team in EMEA. This role offers a unique blend of early-stage and growth-stage startup environments, providing high agency and ownership in an almost-no-meeting culture. The position involves building intelligent recruiting software for notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.

The ideal candidate will take ownership of significant product areas, handling projects end-to-end including product specification, design, and implementation. The role requires full-stack development capabilities, working with technologies like TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Engineers at Ashby contribute to all aspects of product development, from user research to technical implementation.

The company emphasizes a culture of thoughtful communication, with engineers typically spending less than 2 hours per week in meetings. They focus on increasing leverage through excellent developer tooling and reusable building blocks rather than just growing team size. The engineering team consists of primarily senior-level talent, with over 90% considered Senior or above in industry standards.

Ashby offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive compensation, generous equity with a 10-year exercise window, unlimited PTO, family leave, and excellent health insurance for US employees. The company is growing rapidly with tens of millions in ARR and over 100% year-over-year growth.

The role provides an opportunity to work on challenging problems in a supportive environment that values technical excellence, user experience, and product quality. The company has a strong focus on diversity and inclusion, with 26% of engineers from underrepresented groups and ongoing initiatives to improve these numbers.
