About the role

As a Platform Engineer at Ashby, you will play a critical role in scaling our infrastructure and building a 'paved road' for our engineering teams. You will own projects end-to-end, dive into scaling challenges, and influence how the entire team interacts with our infrastructure. We value code-as-infrastructure and aim to build systems that are mature, reliable, and developer-friendly.

Responsibilities

Optimize our homegrown ultra-dynamic recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler and create tools to help developers do so.
Create automated guardrails for the security and privacy of our customer data.
Help our developers ship features fast through canary deploys, gradual rollouts, and feature flags, while keeping complexity manageable and reducing downtime.
Work with the business and the engineering team to define SLOs and implement the corresponding SLIs.
Ensure all communication with external services supports retries and circuit-breakers.
Implement the infrastructure to support an event-driven architecture and data warehouse.
Participate in on-call rotations in a follow-the-sun model.

Engineering Culture

We operate with minimal process and high ownership. Engineers run their own projects, research problems, write specs, and implement solutions end-to-end. We prioritize deliberate, written communication and focus time, maintaining a low-meeting culture. We invest heavily in developer tooling, AI-powered workflows, and common building blocks to maintain high leverage.

Benefits

Competitive salary and equity.
10-year exercise window for stock options.
Unlimited PTO.
A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
$100/month education budget with coverage for conferences.
$250/month tool budget plus access to AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Codex.
High-quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, fully covered by Ashby.
Opportunities for in-person team meetups (departmental and company-wide) and a budget for local meetups.

Requirements

Experience building infrastructure at a scale beyond Ashby's current stage (dealing with millions of data points).
Proven ability to automate everything from provisioning to monitoring and release processes.
Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code and managing cloud-based (AWS) environments.
Ability to handle diverse technical challenges, including security enforcements, database optimization, and Kubernetes debugging.
Strong coding skills (TypeScript, https://jobeax.com/link/JSd7UYCSg572jJDY, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis) as you will be responsible for application-level code at a platform level.
Comfort with evaluating risk and making independent technical decisions.
Excellent written communication skills for an async-first culture.
Ability to manage your own projects and delivery without external prodding.
