We’ve already assembled a fantastic Platform &

• Infrastructure team of 11 engineers (all Senior+, 70% Staff), and they’ve done an excellent job handling our growth, but the management and leadership of Platform &

• Infrastructure have been diffused across our Engineering leaders. As we hit our next level of scale, it’s time for us to hire an Engineering leader responsible for performance and reliability, and for building out the team that ensures those. Building and maintaining a long-term vision and 6-month roadmap for Platform &

• Infrastructure. Building and maintaining an excellent relationship with Product Engineering. The ideal state is that Product Engineering can move incredibly fast independently without breaking performance or reliability, and Platform &

• Infrastructure doesn’t feel like they’re always cleaning up someone else’s “mess.” Assessing and improving our monitoring and incident management process. Maintaining vendor relationships and negotiating pricing for our critical hosting and observability infrastructure , including AWS, ClickHouse, Datadog, and Braintrust. Managing other leaders is a very different ball game, and not everyone enjoys it or thrives in it. If you have experience managing developer experience and developer tools, building out a dedicated team for DevEx . If you don’t have experience here, DevEx will report into Product Engineering. 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. You played an significant role leading a company through a high-growth period (either as an IC Lead or Engineering Leader).You had to make high-quality decisions under pressure. That often meant striking a balance between short-term fixes to keep the product from falling over and long-term investments to ensure it didn’t happen again. You have experience hiring and building hiring processes, and enjoy it! You were a key contributor to company-level initiatives that involved Product Engineering, Product, Sales, or Support. You are knowledgeable about platform and infrastructure technologies, networking, and hardware. You’ll be able to hire managers to focus on specific time zones, but I expect you to have skips with some engineers (and you should want to, too!). To ensure a reasonable work schedule, we’re only hiring candidates who live in the PST-GMT time zone. What We’re Building 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 new standard, it held them back. Recruiting teams wanted to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer preparation and quality, and do it with half the headcount. 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 #
