Design Engineer - EU

This role truly expects you to design and code. Design Engineer at Ashby isn't just a Frontend Engineer with new branding, nor is it a Designer vibe coding prototypes — combining excellence in both is where the magic happens. You'll work on Ashby's most challenging design problems, help others improve their designs by expanding and enhancing the in-house design system, and consult on bespoke design work needed by Product Engineers.

This posting covers both Mid and Senior levels. You'll work on a product at scale — your work will touch over 100,000 weekly active users and millions of candidates per week. Compensation ranges from €60K–€145K depending on level and EU location tier.

Our tech stack is TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, and Redis.

• Good proficiency in both Design and Engineering, with exceptional proficiency in the discipline you practice full-time
• Experience designing products and shipping code to hundreds of users (even through side projects)
• Good proficiency with TypeScript, React, and CSS at minimum; backend proficiency is a plus
• Excellent taste and execution in visual design
• Comfortable with minimal process and high ownership over decisions normally made by product and design
• Comfortable shipping fast and iterating based on user feedback rather than extensive upfront research
