Job Overview

Hi , I’m Abhik , Ashby’s Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We’re looking for a great (former) engineer who built impressive products and now builds teams of great engineers.

Job Description

Our growth and retention metrics are best-in-class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, very low churn, and many years of runway. A big part of our secret sauce is how we run Engineering.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll work closely with me, Ben, Colin, and your peers to build out the team and continue scaling this unique culture. You’ll first do that through grassroots leadership.

You’ll manage three to five Engineers and hire three to five more. They’ll cover multiple teams and a variety of specializations, from Product Engineers to Site Reliability Engineers to Design Engineers.
