Summary
Ashby is looking for an Engineering Manager to help build a different type of engineering team and culture. The role involves focusing on process, culture, and individual performance, building the team's skills, and working on projects alongside engineers. The ideal candidate should be technical, have experience in growing exceptional engineers, think about product, business, and design, and communicate effectively.
Requirements
- Be technical and able to hold in-depth conversations with direct reports from infra to backend to frontend
- Know what exceptional engineers look like and have thought deeply about what makes them tick, how to recruit them, and how to grow folks into them
- Hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team
- Think about product, business, and design
- Communicate effectively
Responsibilities
- Focus on building your team, their skills to thrive with the ownership they’re given
- Influence and coach ICs (Individual Contributors) to reach the right product and technical decisions
- Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention
- 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
- Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity
- 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable
- Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year
- Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
- $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval
