Ashby | YC 19 | REMOTE | Hiring Engineering Leaders | $200k–$275k
Ashby is the all-in-one recruiting platform powering hiring at the world's most innovative companies. If you cmd+f "Ashby" you'll see that we're powering many of the job postings in this thread!
We’re looking to scale our engineering leadership team with technical leaders who want to raise the impact of a high-performing organization.
* Not Your Traditional "Jira-Manager": Our EMs are not classic delivery coordinators who shuffle meetings or build heavy processes. Instead, you will own people, hiring bar, technical judgment, and the health of our engineering systems.
* High-Autonomy Team: Because 80%+ of our engineering team is Senior–Staff+ level, our engineers already possess a high degree of ownership. Your focus is less on day-to-day task coordination and more on coaching independent owners, managing ambiguity, and raising team impact.
* Technically Credible Leaders: You will stay close enough to the work to challenge assumptions, review proposals, spot maintainability issues, and jump into the code to debug alongside engineers when needed.
* Organizational Advocates: Beyond your immediate team, you will act as an advocate owning the health and metrics of org-wide areas—ranging from CI/CD health and developer productivity to customer success collaboration and on-call sustainability.
* 100% Remote Async Culture: We maintain an even distribution of engineers across North America and Europe, optimizing for minimal process and maximum focus.
Stack: TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis. (While you won't always be shipping code, you are expected to hold a deep technical understanding of the system).
>At Ashby, your compensation is market-rate indexed to your level of performance.
FYI, "market rate" refers to the highest compensation that someone would be willing to offer a person with that profile. When you sell something, you sell it to the highest bidder. You don't sell it to the median buy offer.
>We target your total compensation (salary + equity-to-be-vested) to be greater than the 75th percentile
The market rate is the expected compensation in a certain market, usually based on location, and it's a range rather than a single value. If it was the highest compensation, everyone except a single employer would pay below market rate. What you're referring to is "top of market".
