Ashby builds software that lets talent teams build an efficient, delightful, respectful hiring process.
We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.
Hi I'm Colin, Head of EMEA Engineering.
I've spent a number of years leading engineering teams in startups, and that has always included being close to infrastructure teams – no matter what name they've worn (SRE, infrastructure, platform, etc).
I've got my hands dirty building the initial infrastructure for startups and know the value a talented infrastructure engineer brings.
We're always looking to give our customers more powerful hiring software, and building new product features often requires new pieces of infrastructure.
All our own engineers own their projects end-to-end and ship with minimal oversight.
We don't put roadblocks to ensure security when common sense will do and we don't build processes like change management boards around the lowest common denominator.
But with great power comes great responsibility: we handle personal and confidential data about some of the biggest decisions we ever make at work.
That's where you come in: you, too, will own projects end-to-end and have an impact on core parts of the Ashby developer and user experience.
Optimize our homegrown ultra-dynamic recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler, and create tools to help developers do so

Software and its availability are now mission critical to almost every working professional.
Qualities We Value
You get weirdly obsessed about a problem that doesn't yet make sense, turn it every which way in your head until the explanation dawns.
You'll search every rock, inventory every clue, hunt every mismatch.
You know product engineers want to build it with you, and see them as allies, where you give them the power and knowledge to access greater things.
You're someone who cares about what you do and the team you do it with, and want to work with others who do as well.
You've built infrastructure at a slightly later stage than Ashby is at – you know how to deal with millions of data points, have seen great (or not great) infrastructure make or break customer experience, and have automated everything from provisioning to monitoring and release process.
You'll get to do infrastructure updates, security enforcements, database optimization, Kubernetes debugging, and digging through Typescript traces figuring out what doesn't work.
