About the role

Employment type: Full-Time. Workplace: remote. Location restriction: candidates must be based in UK. Salary: GBP 151,000 - GBP 184,000 per year. Hi I’m Abhik , Ashby 's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. This role is close to my heart because, as someone who can both design and code, it’s where I’ve always done my best work, but also where I was seen as a rebel and an outsider. I want folks like me to feel at home at Ashby, and so I made Design Engineering a formal role and department that works closely with me. Our first hire was over five years ago, and we’re doubling the team from five to over ten in the next year. This role truly expects you to design and code. Design Engineer at Ashby…
