Engineering Manager - AmericasAshby220k-275k USDFull-timeremote· leadCanada, USAListed via Jobicy · posted 24 Sept 2026. Apply on Jobicy## DescriptionHi , I’m Abhik, Ashby’s Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. Ashby’s success and ambition mean we’re doubling the Engineering team in the next year, and we need your experience and leadership to do it thoughtfully.We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake.

A big part of our secret sauce is how we run Engineering. We achieve incredible speed and quality by discarding many industry norms and being optimistic about Engineers. In other words, if engineers writing product specs, making product decisions, and not breaking down projects into individual tickets excites you, you’ve found the right place.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.They’ll cover multiple teams and a variety of specializations, from Product Engineers to Site Reliability Engineers to Design Engineers.

Providing feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality. Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects and deliver them with little intervention.-Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience. Engineering leaders at Ashby are great engineers and enjoy keeping their skills up-to-date (while staying off the critical path).Rethink how we (and the industry) do pull request reviews by aligning on goals with the team, sampling a set of PRs to understand how effective they are, and writing a proposal to the team about what we could change to speed up reviews while giving reviewers the time and space to give useful feedback.-Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts.

It’s a project off the critical path, but it helps you keep up-to-date on our codebase while immensely impacting the business,



from Engineering to QA to Sales.When we started Ashby, we saw the opposite with Talent Acquisition software. Recruiting teams were leveling up how they did their work, but instead of software meeting this current standard, it held them back.Recruiting teams wanted to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer preparation and quality, and do it with half the headcount. TA software didn’t help.As hiring managers, we know TA is a critical function, and as engineers, we know software can do better.

Software that’s intelligent and powerful. Software that provides insights into where they’re failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they’re underwater with.

Why You

Shouldn’t Apply-You don’t enjoy coding or don’t find time to stay up-to-date on technology. You're happy with a team of engineers who are predominantly early-career or mid-career or don't thrive with ownership or autonomy. To you, a Staff or Principal Engineer is someone who spends most of their time project managing or conducting architecture reviews.

You’re not optimistic or convinced that we can build a large engineering team that functions differently from the status quo. sprint planning, product managers writing in-depth specifications).

Engineering

CultureOur engineering culture is motivated by Benji’s (my Co-founder and CEO) and my belief that a small, talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast (and work regular hours!). Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design-Natural collaboration and deliberate communication-Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage-Putting effort into building a diverse teamYou’ll be an important part of figuring out how to scale these methods from 50 engineers to 100 and beyond.They took customer problems and relentlessly drove them to solutions that were not only successful but often brilliant and creative. So, at Ashby, every Engineer runs their project.

Product

Managers (and Designers) build strategy, do customer research, and hand off problem briefs to Engineers.
