Description:

Ashby is seeking a curious and rigorous platform engineer who is passionate about coding to help elevate the company to new heights.
The company provides software that enables talent teams to create an efficient, delightful, and respectful hiring process.
Ashby has notable customers including Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake, and boasts impressive growth metrics with tens of millions in ARR and over 2500 customers.
The role is open for candidates leaning towards either Platform Engineer or Site Reliability Engineer, as the team encompasses both functions.
The infrastructure is currently stable but requires scaling to meet the demands of rapid growth and new product features.
The position involves diving into scaling problems, adding new capabilities, and ensuring a seamless interaction with infrastructure.
Responsibilities include optimizing a homegrown recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler, creating automated security guardrails, facilitating fast feature shipping, defining SLOs, ensuring reliable communication with external services, and implementing infrastructure for an event-driven architecture.
The ideal candidate will build systems that are mature yet flexible, balancing reliability with innovation.

Requirements:

Candidates should have a relentless curiosity and a problem-solving mindset, willing to explore and understand complex issues.
A commitment to quality and thoroughness is essential, as is the ability to advocate for future users and edge cases.
Applicants must have experience building infrastructure at a later stage than Ashby, dealing with large data sets, and automating processes.
A versatile skill set is required, including infrastructure updates, security enforcement, database optimization, and debugging.
Candidates should be comfortable making independent decisions regarding infrastructure and coding, as well as managing their own projects without constant oversight.
Proficiency in SQL and coding is necessary, as platform engineers are expected to contribute to the codebase regularly.
Strong written communication skills are essential, as the company operates in an asynchronous culture.

The position offers a competitive salary and equity options with a 10-year exercise window for stock options.
Employees enjoy unlimited PTO, with encouragement to take time off.
A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave is provided, with potential extensions based on regional requirements.
There is a generous budget for equipment, software, and office furniture to ensure productivity and comfort.
An education budget of $100 per month is available, with additional funding for conferences upon manager approval.
In the US, top-tier health insurance is provided for employees and their dependents, with 100% of premiums covered; other countries receive high-quality supplemental health insurance fully covered by Ashby.
