Ashby
Staff Platform Engineer, Americas
We’re looking for a curious, rigorous, problem‑hungry platform engineer (who codes!) to carry the ball as we bring Ashby to the big leagues. Ashby builds software that lets talent teams build an efficient, delightful, respectful hiring process. Similarly, you’re an engineer who wants to build a “paved road” that excellent engineering teams can safely take to the moon and back.
Base pay range $190,000.00/yr – $275,000.00/yr
About the role We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. We’re a high‑growth, low churn company employing 2,500 customers. You’ll own projects end‑to‑end, ship with minimal oversight, and build a future‑proof platform to support scale.
Responsibilities
Optimize our homegrown ultra‑dynamic recruiting DSL‑to‑SQL compiler and create tools to help developers
Create automated guardrails for the security and privacy of our customer data
Help developers ship features fast through canary deploys, gradual rollouts and feature flags, while keeping complexity manageable and reducing downtime
Work with the business and engineering team to define SLOs and implement the corresponding SLIs
Ensure all communication with external services supports retries and circuit‑breakers
Implement the infrastructure to support an event‑driven architecture and data warehouse
Qualifications
Obsess over problems and iterate until solutions dawn
Speak up for future users, edge cases, and doomsday design
Care about team dynamics and want to work with better teammates
Have built infrastructure that handles millions of data points and automated provisioning, monitoring, releases
Be a Swiss army knife in infrastructure, security, database optimisation, Kubernetes debugging, TypeScript traces, and more
Reluctant? “You Should Not Apply If”
You don’t want to make your own decisions and expect a manager to decide
You hate SQL
You don’t want to code; reviewing and submitting code changes is part of the day
Your primary mode is live meetings; we’re async and written communication wins
You’ve never delivered a project on your own without someone prodding you for updates
Technology Stack TypeScript (frontend & backend), Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, Datadog, Sentry, AWS.
Benefits
Competitive salary and equity
Unlimited PTO
Minimum of 12 weeks paid parental leave
Generous equipment, software, office furniture budget
$100/month education budget
Top‑tier health insurance fully covered in the US; high‑quality supplemental insurance elsewhere
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 welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
