About Ashby

At Ashby, we're building powerful, delightful, high quality software to help companies be the absolute best at hiring. Prior to starting Ashby, our Co-Founder and CEO, Benji, experienced the limitations of current products first hand. We believe the most promising productivity improvements have yet to be built, and we have a relentless focus to make them a reality.

We’ve not launched publicly yet, but we already have happy (paying) customers who prefer us over our competition, including: Opendoor, Plaid, Figma, Airtable, Snyk, and Benchling. We’re also backed by great investors, including YCombinator, Elad Gil, and Lachy Groom. We’ll share more once we meet.

We've only scratched the surface of how Ashby can help our customers. It's the perfect time to join.

Our Philosophy

Here are a few key points that should give you an idea of what it is like to work with us:

• We invest a lot in common building blocks that allow us to build powerful and customizable products fast.

• Customers use Ashby every day, so we put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered & extended by power users.

• We strongly believe that small teams with very talented people (and the right work environment) deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount. We hire and compensate accordingly.

• Our users’ pain is our pain. Engineers conduct user interviews, Slack with our customers, and work closely with them to define, design, and implement solutions.

• We value each other’s time so we can maximize our impact. We accomplish this by doing lots of research and writing specs before building, investing in automation, and practicing efficient and deliberate communication. Engineers average 36 hours of focus time per week (and it’s only increased over time).

We value a strong sense of ownership, principled thinking over experience, and thoughtful communication - we’ll get into these and other values during the hiring process.

About this Role

As the first data team hire you will be responsible for building the foundations of all things data at Ashby. The scope of responsibilities will include establishing our data warehouse, data ingestion and data modeling infrastructure. In addition to the foundational data efforts, you will work closely with our product and go to market teams to help operationalize reporting and build a world-class data-driven organization.

You Could Be a Great Fit If

Our data initiatives will span a variety of responsibilities, so all of these need not apply. Any experience with the items below would be beneficial.

• You have setup and maintained a standard data warehouse stack (e.g. Snowflake or Redshift, data integration services and ETL tooling, dbt and so on)

• You have been responsible for building reporting pipelines on top of standard data warehouse infrastructure (and understand the nuances, challenges and tradeoffs therein)

• You are comfortable wearing a data engineer hat but have a strong interest in the business impact of data, data products and data visualization

• You have been responsible for standardizing core product and business metrics and the related reporting

• You are familiar with Looker and LookML and best practices in BI governance

• You have working experience in B2B SaaS

Why is this an exceptional opportunity?

If building the infrastructure to grow a data-driven company is your passion there could be no better time than now to join. You'll be in the rare position of having an amazing customer base and robust data set, a stellar team of collaborators that have been through the data-driven startup process a number of times, and most importantly the opportunity to build the foundations, tooling and best practices from the beginning.

Benefits

• You’ll get the time to do things the right way; we put a lot of emphasis on high quality work and avoid quick hacks as much as possible

• You get to use your own product (we use Ashby for our own hiring!)

• Competitive compensation including equity

• 10 year exercise window for stock options

• Top notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us (U.S.)
