About the job
Hello! I’m Abhik, Co-Founder and VP of Engineering at Ashby. This role is particularly special to me, as it embodies the fusion of design and coding—two passions that I believe should coexist. At Ashby, we empower engineers to not only design but also build innovative software solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to iterate on your ideas in both Figma and code, creating prototypes that leverage actual logic and data.
As a Design Engineer, you will confront our most intricate design challenges and elevate the work of your peers by enhancing and expanding our proprietary design system, as well as providing bespoke design consultations. Here are some examples of projects you might work on:
Revamping our mobile web application by collaborating with frequent users, wireframing new user flows, implementing our design system, and transforming those wireframes into functional reality.
Developing a collection of flexible and composable components within our design system, enabling other engineers to create custom autocompletes with features like filters and options to add new records.
Assisting fellow engineers in enhancing the information hierarchy and scannability of candidate assessments, allowing recruiters to quickly identify key insights.
These initiatives demonstrate our commitment at Ashby to enhance the productivity of professionals, starting with talent acquisition teams, through intelligent and robust software solutions. We prioritize designs that are accessible for beginners while also offering advanced functionalities for power users, setting a high bar akin to that of spreadsheets.
We proudly serve notable clients such as Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are exceptional: we are achieving over 100% year-over-year growth, with tens of millions in ARR, a strong customer base of over 2500, and very low churn rates. We look forward to sharing more details about our journey and the impact of this role during our conversation.
