Ashby is looking for an Engineering Manager to help scale their engineering team and maintain their unique culture of high-performing engineers. The company aims to replace outdated Talent Acquisition software with intelligent, powerful tools that automate and simplify tasks, and they need leadership to achieve this growth thoughtfully.
Requirements
- A technical screen where we pair in our actual codebase
- You don’t enjoy coding or don’t find time to stay up-to-date on technology.
- You believe that with enough guardrails, the team can get things done.
- You don’t believe staff and principal engineers could lead by the example they set or the leverage they create through their work.
- Our CI/CD takes ~10m, and we deploy at least 15x a day.
- A debugger that works out of the box.
- Everyone on the team has contributed to our developer experience
Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- Design and improve interviews based on candidate and team feedback.
- Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of common components like analytics modeling and query language, policy engine, workflow engine, and design system.
Other
- We’re looking for a great (former) engineer who built impressive products and now builds teams of great engineers.
- You’ll work closely with me, 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.
- You’ll also propose and lead department and company-wide initiatives.
