Ashby is the all-in-one recruiting platform powering hiring at the world's most innovative companies. If you cmd+f "Ashby" you'll see that we're powering many of the job postings in this thread!
As we scale our platform, we are also looking to scale our Product Engineering team.
Why Join?
High Seniority & Density: 80%+ of our engineering team is Senior–Staff+ level. You’ll be working alongside peers who excel at navigating ambiguity and setting high standards.
True End-to-End Ownership: We give an unusual amount of autonomy. You’ll own features from initial spec writing and customer interviews all the way to production. Many of our most loved features were built entirely by a single engineer!
Product Sense > Pure Speed: Building fast is getting easier, but building the right thing still isn't. Customer empathy, sound judgment, and product taste matter far more to us than where you worked in the past.
100% Remote Async Culture: Low meeting overhead, high trust, and an even distribution of engineers across North America and Europe.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 4 points (from 59 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
