Hi
I’m Abhik, Ashby’s Co‑Founder and VP of Engineering. I always felt I had a unique perspective because I could play with design ideas and iterate (in code). My ideas could start in Figma and then be grounded in code, generating comprehensive critiques of the app’s architecture. At Ashby, you can design and build.
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. These projects include:
Redesigned our mobile web app by talking with customers, wireframing new flows, implementing its design system, and turning wireframes into reality.
Built a set of flexible, composable components in our design system that allow other engineers to build custom autocompletes, including filters and options to create new records.
Helped another engineer improve their design’s information hierarchy and scannability for viewing a candidate’s assessments, enabling recruiters to parse data quickly.
These projects illustrate our focus on improving the productivity of talent teams with intelligent software, while keeping products approachable to beginners and powerful for power users. We work with customers such as Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake, and our ARR is in the tens of millions with over 2500 customers.
What We’re Building We built Ashby to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling, replacing manual workflows with intelligent automation. From scheduling candidates to tracking interviewer availability, our software enables teams to work faster, with less overhead.
Engineering Culture Our culture is motivated by the belief that a small, talented team can build high‑quality software fast. We focus on minimal process, natural collaboration, and investing in tools that give us leverage. Key principles include:
Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design.
Natural collaboration and deliberate communication.
Investing in tooling and abstractions.
Building a diverse team.
Engineers run projects end‑to‑end: researching problems, writing specs, building wireframes, and implementing solutions. Product managers and designers set strategy, conduct research, and hand off briefs. Engineers handle the rest and collaborate with cross‑functional teams.
Increase Leverage, not Team Size We focus on quality, breadth, and depth through:
Great developer tooling: CI/CD takes ~10 min, deploying at least 15× a day with an out‑of‑the‑box debugger.
Reusable building blocks that cascade improvements across the app.
Diversity Commitment We aim to improve representation: 21% of our engineers are from underrepresented groups. We offer inclusive hires, generous paid family leave, no leetcode interviews, and more.
Interview Process Our process is three rounds:
Introduction call with Hiring Manager – 15‑30 min, live.
Technical screen – pair in our codebase (1 hr, live).
Three non‑coding interviews – product thinking, technical design, and infrastructure (3 h 15 min, live, can be split).
There are no leetcode or whiteboard exercises. We provide written guidance for each round, and we give feedback if an offer is not made.
Your First Three Months Onboarding starts with a single script to set up your dev environment. You’ll push a product change on day one and progress to larger features. Your manager will review you at 30, 60, and 90 days.
Technology Stack TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis. Prior experience is not required; a love of typed languages is helpful.
Benefits
Competitive salary and equity.
10‑year exercise window for stock options.
Unlimited PTO.
Minimum of 12 weeks fully paid parental leave.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
$100/month education budget with manager approval for conferences.
Top‑tier health insurance fully covered for US employees; high‑quality supplemental insurance for others.
Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, challenged, and productive.
Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
