Staff Design Engineer

About the role

Ashby, a talent acquisition platform used by recruiters and hiring managers, is hiring a Staff Design Engineer in Canada. The role combines design and engineering: you design features and code them yourself, working on the UI and UX of a product used by over 100,000 weekly active users. The team is growing from five to over ten designers and engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Work on the most challenging design problems and ship features that combine design and code.
• Help colleagues improve their designs by expanding and enhancing the in-house design system.
• Consult on bespoke design work needed by Product Engineers.
• Examples of past work include redesigning a mobile web app, building composable components in the design system, and improving the information hierarchy of a candidate assessment view.

Required profile

• Professional experience in design engineering, even if not under a formal title.
• Major contributions to a design system and features shipped to hundreds of users, iterated on through user feedback.
• Ability to ship fast and iterate, with little need for extensive pre-implementation research.
• Good visual design taste and execution.

Required skills

• Proficiency in both design and engineering, with exceptional proficiency in one.
• Experience designing products and shipping code to hundreds of users.

What we offer

• Remote work with flexible hours and unlimited PTO.
• Low-meeting, high-ownership culture with a 30, 60 and 90-day review.
• Diverse team, paid family leave and no leetcode interviews.

The interview process is three rounds: an introduction call, a technical screen or design take-home, and a deep dive into a past design system or project, with no leetcode or whiteboard exercises.
