About the role

Ashby, a talent acquisition platform with customers such as Notion, Linear, Shopify and Snowflake, is expanding its engineering team and is looking for an Engineering Manager in Canada. The manager will work closely with the co-founders and peers to grow the team, starting with grassroots leadership of three to five engineers across several specializations, and will eventually report to the Director of Engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Manage three to five engineers and hire three to five more, covering roles such as Product, Site Reliability and Design Engineers.
• Give feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers cut scope or improve quality, and coach individual contributors toward the right decisions.
• Grow engineers so they can take large, loosely defined projects with little intervention.
• Debug customer issues, ship bug fixes and improve the developer experience.
• Propose and lead department and company-wide initiatives, such as improving pull request reviews, redesigning interviews and improving demo account data simulation.

• Someone with the ambition to change how things are done, rather than following the rules.
• Comfortable leading a team of engineers who value ownership and autonomy.
• Optimistic that a large engineering team can function differently from the status quo.

Required skills

• No prior experience required; a love of typed languages is helpful.
• Team uses TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Node.js, Postgres and Redis.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity with a 10-year exercise window.
• Unlimited PTO and at least 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• Supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, fully covered.
• Budgets for equipment, software and office furniture, plus $100/month education and $250/month tool budget.
