We’re looking for a curious, rigorous, problem-hungry platform engineer (who codes!) to carry the ball as we bring Ashby to the big leagues. Ashby builds software that lets talent teams build an efficient, delightful, respectful hiring process. Similarly, you’re an engineer who wants to build a “paved road” that excellent engineering teams can safely take to the moon and back. We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best-in-class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, over 2500 customers, very low churn, and many years of runway. You probably have a good idea as to why we’re hiring for this role. We’ve listed this role twice: as a Platform Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer – our team does both, and we are open to candidates who lean towards one or the other. Hi I’m Colin, Head of EMEA Engineering. I’ve spent a number of years leading engineering teams in startups, and that has always included being close to infrastructure teams - no matter what name they’ve worn (SRE, infrastructure, platform, etc). I’ve got my hands dirty building the initial infrastructure for startups and know the value a talented infrastructure engineer brings. The rigour, the discipline, the peace and quiet when everything just hums along. Our infrastructure is in a good place for now. Nothing is static. Ashby continues to grow rapidly, putting strain on our existing infrastructure. We’re always looking to give our customers more powerful hiring software, and building new product features often requires new pieces of infrastructure. Having herded plenty of snowflakeservers in the past, I’ve learned there’s a better way. I place a lot of value on infrastructure-as-code. As a Platform Engineer at Ashby, you’ll get to dive into scaling problems, add new capabilities to our platform, and think about how our entire team interacts with infrastructure. All our own engineers own their projects end-to-end and ship with minimal oversight. We don’t put roadblocks to ensure security when common sense will do and we don’t build processes like change management boards around the lowest common denominator. But with great power comes great responsibility: we handle personal and confidential data about some of the biggest decisions we ever make at work. As we grow, more and bigger customers rely on us to be reliable and secure and how we operate internally will need to evolve. We’re at an inflection point where our ability to scale and deliver a seamless experience has a make-or-break impact – we have some of the fastest growing companies using our platform every day to hire hundreds of people per month. We need someone like you to make good decisions, debug thorny issues, and build us a future-proof platform that can withstand this scale. Our small but mighty infrastructure team has set up a secure and simple environment (we don’t believe in spinning up a new service unless necessary!) for our growing product team to build in. That’s where you come in: you, too, will own projects end-to-end and have an impact on core parts of the Ashby developer and user experience. For instance, you could work on: • Optimize our homegrown ultra-dynamic recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler, and create tools to help developers do so, • Create automated guardrails for the security and privacy of our customer data, • Help our developers ship features fast through canary deploys, gradual rollouts and feature flags, while keeping complexity manageable and reducing downtime, • Work with the business and the engineering team to define SLOs and implement the corresponding SLIs, • Ensure all communication with external services supports retries and circuit-breakers, • Implement the infrastructure to support an event-driven architecture and data warehouse We’re looking for someone who can build systems that an engineer would like to work with: mature and boring but open-minded and approachable. We have to balance reliability with flexibility. Software and its availability are now mission critical to almost every working professional. To be in an SRE in today’s world, you have to be extremely comfortable evaluating risk, those you take and those others take. • You never stop. You get weirdly obsessed about a problem that doesn’t yet make sense, turn it every which way in your head until the explanation dawns. You’ll search every rock, inventory every clue, hunt every mismatch. We do that, too – together we’ll be armed with state-of-the-art monitoring tools and an impressive amount of data, and join you in the adventure., • You don’t take shortcuts. You’re speaking up for the future user, the edge case, the doomsday design. You know product engineers want to build it with you, and see them as allies, where you give them the power and knowledge to access greater things., • You’re someone who cares about what you do and the team you do it with, and want to work with others who do as well. You’ll be on interview panels choosing your next colleagues, and you’ll take that seriously. You only want to work with people who make you better, and want to make you better., • You’ve built infrastructure at a slightly later stage than Ashby is at – you know how to deal with millions of data points, have seen great (or not great) infrastructure make or break customer experience, and have automated everything from provisioning to monitoring and release process., • You’re a Swiss army knife (all nationalities welcome). You’ll get every hard problem the company faces. You’ll get to do infrastructure updates, security enforcements, database optimization, Kubernetes debugging, and digging through Typescript traces figuring out what doesn’t work. All that makes for a pretty specific kind of role, and the job isn’t to everyone’s tastes! You should not apply if: • You don’t want to make your own decisions on what is the best paved road to build for Ashby, and expect a lead or manager to make the final call on what that is. Our leads (and managers) give ample commentary and feedback on technical decisions and how they’re made, but you ship what you want to build and are accountable for it., • You hate SQL. We have a lot of features built around making the best out of data, and our platform engineers also sometimes dive into a gnarly report or advise engineers on a more performant data model to use., • You don’t want to code. Our SREs are some of our best software engineers and they are just as responsible for the application as the other engineering teams – albeit at a platform level. Reviewing code and submitting code changes will be part of your day to day., • Your primary mode of communicating best practices to engineers is live meetings. We’re a very async culture and written communication (and code) is how changes get made. As an Ashby SRE, you will need to share new tooling and best practices with engineers faster than your next meeting opportunity will take you., • You’ve never delivered a project, on your own, without someone prodding you for updates. We have no project or delivery managers to fill your calendar with busy work, but the flip side is you have to do your project management, seek the help you need to get unstuck and cut scope when it’s worthwhile. I’m sharing our tech stack with the caveat that we don’t require previous experience in it: TypeScript (frontend & backend), Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL, Postgres, Redis. We use Datadog and Sentry on 100% cloud-based (AWS) infra. We take developer experience and reliability seriously: all engineers are on call in a follow-the-sun model, and everyone contributes to developer tooling. As engineers, we are used to tooling that makes us better at what we do. When we started Ashby, we saw the opposite with Talent Acquisition software. Recruiting teams were leveling up how they did their work, but instead of software meeting this new standard, it held them back. Scheduling a final round is an excellent example. Recruiting teams wanted to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer preparation and quality, and do it with half the headcount. A recruiter needed to manually collect availability from the candidate, identify qualified interviewers, perform “Calendar Tetris” to find who is available to interview the candidate, schedule on the earliest date possible, and make any last‑minute adjustments as availability changed. They must do this while considering the interview load on each individual and whether interviewers need to be trained and shadowing others. As hiring managers, we know TA is a critical function, and as engineers, we know software can do better. So, we built and continue to build Ashby to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling. Software that’s intelligent and powerful. Software that provides insights into where they’re failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they’re underwater with. We want other functions and departments to be jealous of what TA teams can do with Ashby, and today they often are! Our Engineering Culture Is Motivated By Abhik And Benji’s (our Co‑founders) Belief That a Small Talented Team, Given The Right Environment, Can Build High-quality Software Fast (and Work Regular Hours!). We Do It Through • Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design, • Natural collaboration and deliberate communication, • Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage, • Putting effort into building a diverse team The best engineers we’ve worked with delivered reliably magical outcomes. They took customer problems and relentlessly drove them to solutions that were not only successful but often brilliant and creative. While they did this with minimal oversight, stakeholders were never in the dark as to what was going on, and no setback was a surprise. Traditional product‑development processes aren’t meant for the best engineers. Their purpose is to create consistent outcomes regardless of the engineer’s skill. But, consistency comes at the expense of an engineer’s time and freedom—both ingredients necessary to generate those magical outcomes. As a result, process stifles the best engineers and doesn’t give others the opportunity to practice the behaviors that made the best engineers the best. At Ashby, we want to build an environment that encourages every engineer to be their best. So, at Ashby, every Engineer runs their project. Product Managers (and Designers) build strategy, do customer research, and hand off problem briefs to Engineers. Engineers take on the rest: they research the problem, write product specs, build wireframes, and implement their solution end‑to‑end. We rely on engineers, not process, to push information outward to the relevant folks (e.g., Product Managers) and pull folks in to help (e.g., Designers, Infra). It’s a new level of ownership for many engineers, but we’d rather an engineer fail a bit and coach up their skills than use process as a crutch. Not everyone succeeds in our culture, but those who do thrive. Our engineering team consists of lifelong learners who are talented but also humble and kind. These attributes create an environment where collaboration happens naturally. We combine this with research, prototyping, and written proposals to see around corners and get feedback from the team across time zones. Focus time is something that we hold sacred, and, with thoughtful and deliberate communication, engineers are in less than 2h meetings per week. We also meet in person at least twice a year, once as a department and once as a company. You also have a small budget to meet up with folks in your city/region. We Built Ashby With The Quality, Breadth, And Depth That Many Customers Would Expect From Much Larger Teams Over Larger Time Scales. We’ve Done This Through Investment In • Great developer tooling. Our CI/CD takes about 10 minutes, and we deploy at least 15x a day. A debugger that works out of the box. Everyone on the team has contributed to our developer experience., • Building blocks to create powerful and customizable products fast. At the core of Ashby is a set of common components (analytics modeling and query language, policy engine, workflow engine, design system) that we constantly improve. Each improvement to a common component cascades throughout our app., • AI-powered tooling. We think of AI as a way to automate the mundane parts of building and maintaining high-quality software. We use a combination of third‑party and internally built tools that, for instance, auto‑triage customer issues, suggest fixes, prototype ideas, generate production‑ready code, and conduct code reviews. Engineers have an unlimited token budget (but are not measured on it)., • 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, and we will encourage you to take it., • A minimum of 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, covered by Ashby. For folks outside the US, it may be longer to be in line with regional requirements., • 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., • If you’re in the US, we offer top‑tier health insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by Ashby. In other countries, we provide high‑quality supplemental health insurance for you and your dependents, also fully covered by us. Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply. Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities. Compensation Range: £138K - £224K #J-18808-Ljbffr

Malted builds specialised customer interaction intelligence for financial institutions. Our platform combines advanced language technology with deep domain understanding to help firms make faster, more accurate decisions. Our proprietary technology, purpose built for financial services, uncovers signals that generic AI misses, and we work hand in hand with our clients to turn that into decisions and actions that deliver meaningful impact. We’re a small, passionate and highly technical team based in Edinburgh, combining deep machine learning expertise and financial services specific domain knowledge with a rigorous approach to product design, delivery and client outcomes. You'll sit in the Forward Deployed team, reporting to the Chief Forward Deployed Engineer and partnering with Senior Forward Deployed Strategists and our customers to drive value. You'll work closely with Product Engineering and our Information Security lead, and you'll be the bridge between what clients need and what the platform does. As client demand grows you'll help build out the Forward Deployed Engineering team. As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you are a technical lead for Malted's customers, owning the technical path from initial discovery through to measurable value in production. You take on loosely defined customer problems, such as unfamiliar data landscapes, stalled deployments or demanding security reviews, and drive them to resolution. You operate autonomously and define what needs to be built for a customer, not just how to build it. This is a hands on technical leadership role. You'll work directly with senior client stakeholders across IT, data, architecture and InfoSec, and agree a single plan with the Senior Forward Deployed Strategist on each account so technical and business delivery move together. You'll work across the stack: architecting deployments, building data pipelines and integrations, configuring the Malted Platform, and calibrating, optimising and testing AI models. You're the go to person when any of this is technically hard. Where a customer need isn't yet supported by the Platform, you'll prototype solutions and turn them into concrete proposals and contributions to the core Platform with Product Engineering. Your goal is to get customers live quickly and maximise the long term value they get from Malted, finding where value is blocked and fixing the cause rather than the symptom. Technical discovery and solution architecture Lead technical discovery with senior client IT, data, architecture and InfoSec stakeholders, and turn what you find into a clear technical plan. Architect solutions for complex customer environments that are simple to understand, safe to operate and easy to change. Agree a single plan with the Senior Forward Deployed Strategist on your accounts, defining technical scope, feasibility and success criteria for pilot design, onboarding and expansion before commitments are made. Data integration, ingestion and transformation Own ingestion design across the deployment lifecycle, including bulk ingestion for the pilot, filling data gaps during deployment and reliable regular ingestion in production. Solve the hardest data integration problems, where client data sources, formats or delivery mechanisms don't fit standard approaches. Build data quality, completeness and integrity checks in from the start, setting the standard future FDEs will follow. Customer-specific AI configuration and calibration Lead configuration and calibration of Malted's models and outputs for complex clients, working with our AI researchers. Agree evaluation criteria with the client and prove, with evidence, that outputs meet them before and after go-live. Infrastructure, integrations and security Design deployments to meet security, compliance and financial services requirements from the start, working alongside Malted’s Information Security lead. Own the technical integration with complex client environments, covering deployment, connectivity, access controls and integration of Malted outputs back into client systems and workflows, balancing speed to value with scalability and maintainability. Set the standard for operational excellence on client deployments: systems are observable, changes are safe to deploy, and incidents are treated as learning. Lead resolution when complex production issues hit a client. Prototyping Prototype quickly against real client data to prove an approach before it's built properly. Feed client data patterns, edge cases and recurring requirements back to Product Engineering, and drive the productisation of repeatable solutions into the core Malted Platform. Set the standard for documenting data mappings, configurations and client specific integration details so deployments can be supported and repeated. Communication and collaboration Be the senior technical point of contact for your accounts, communicating progress and blockers proactively to stakeholders. Set the standard for how deployments are engineered at Malted, and help build the Forward Deployed Engineering team and capability. You are a seasoned engineer who is as comfortable in a room with a client's head of data as you are in the codebase. You have led technical deployments into complex enterprise environments, and you know the hard part is rarely the code, it's the undocumented data, the security review no one planned for, and the gap between what the client asked for and what they need. You move fast with prototypes and take care where production systems demand it. You'd rather build something once into the platform than maintain ten bespoke versions. Eligible to work in the UK. 6+ years of professional software or data engineering experience, including significant time in a client-facing technical role such as forward deployed engineering, solutions architecture, or technical consulting or implementation. Strong experience in Python (or another language) and confidence working across the full stack. Demonstrated experience designing and delivering production data pipelines and system integrations (ETL/ELT, APIs, batch and streaming). Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs and database design (SQL/NoSQL). Experience deploying into enterprise environments with strict security requirements, including supporting client InfoSec and due diligence reviews. Track record of leading technical discovery and owning solution architecture end to end on complex client engagements. Proven ability to work cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to deliver client outcomes, and to lead by example and mentor other engineers. Able to travel within the UK for client meetings. Experience with Financial Services or other regulated, sensitive data environments (compliance, InfoSec processes). Experience turning bespoke client solutions into reusable platform capabilities. Experience with infrastructure-as-code and containerised deployment. Experience in an early-stage or Series A environment. We’re based in Edinburgh and work from the office three days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). The rest of the week is work from home. This role also involves regular travel within the UK for client meetings. We keep a high bar for technical quality but a low tolerance for ego. You’ll join a team that values precision, humour and intellectual honesty. Pension and stock options Medical and life insurance Enhanced Family Leave entitlement Cycle to Work Salary Sacrifice Scheme Hybrid working and ad-hoc flexibility The chance to work on one-of-a-kind products at the forefront of the AI industry Professional development and growth opportunities A collaborative, inclusive workplace that promotes innovation and teamwork Free snacks and drinks Social events and company outings Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Edinburgh Note: Malted AI is an equal opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. We aren’t working with recruiters for these positions — we’re excited to connect directly with candidates who share our enthusiasm for small language AI models to deliver client focused solutions to complex problems and opportunities. #J-18808-Ljbffr

SAP Finance Senior Manager Career level: Senior Manager (CL6) | Location: London / Manchester / Edinburgh | Practice: Finance Reinvention Partner (SAP) This is a lead role for an all-round SAP finance designer — someone who knows how every finance module fits together and can stand in front of a client as the senior finance design authority on a large SAP programme. You'll run SAP-enabled finance transformations self-sufficiently, own the finance design end to end, set the standard others build to, grow the accounts you work on, and shape how we take SAP finance transformation to market. Accenture is a leading solutions and services company. Our strategy is to be the reinvention partner of choice for our clients and to lead in the safe, widespread adoption of AI. We bring together our people, deep industry expertise and technology to deliver end-to-end outcomes for clients — and Finance is one of seven Reinvention Partners at the centre of that. Finance RP brings the CFO agenda to life for clients — stronger performance, sharper insight, and better control. "Our clients want a partner that can help them reinvent—boldly, continuously and at speed… while continuously building the most client-focused, AI-enabled great place to work for our people—our Reinventors." — Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO All-round SAP finance design. You know how the SAP finance modules work and fit together — Financial Accounting (General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Asset Accounting) and Controlling (Cost Centre and Profit Centre Accounting, CO-PA, Allocations, Product Costing) — with hands-on design depth in the Record-to-Report core and the range to pick up the wider estate, including Group Reporting, Central Finance and Project Systems. You understand how a legacy ECC landscape evolves into an S/4HANA-enabled finance operating model, and — as the design authority for the programme — you make the calls that hold the whole finance design together. Finance process knowledge. Real depth across the finance process spine — Record-to-Report first, and the wider finance processes an SAP programme touches — with the judgement to connect the SAP solution to what the CFO cares about: performance, control, and reporting the business can trust. You're grounded in period-end close, consolidation readiness, management versus statutory reporting, cost management and profitability analysis, with an eye for finance controls by design. Leading the design and the run. You act as the finance design authority across the programme, balancing SAP fit-to-standard against the business differentiation a client genuinely needs and helping them make informed trade-offs. You run large, multi-workstream SAP finance programmes in front of the client — from early discovery and visioning through design, build, testing and deployment, and into the run: stabilising the finance function through hypercare and shaping how it optimises and improves once it's live. You hold your ground in complex landscapes — SAP-to-SAP, SAP-to-non-SAP and heritage integrations — working alongside enterprise architects and integration teams while retaining ownership of the finance agenda. You lead senior client forums, design authorities and steering committees, and you coach and develop the team around you. Growing the work. You spot where SAP finance transformation can do more for the client and help turn that into work, making the case for transformation in CFO language and connecting SAP capability to enterprise value. You shape propositions, support bids, and bring a clear point of view on where the SAP finance market is heading and how we should differentiate. Ways of working. We're increasingly an AI-first delivery team — bringing agentic tooling and orchestration into how we design, analyse and deliver, with our people owning the judgement and the outcome. Experience of AI-enabled delivery models and digital accelerators is a real plus. You lead with authority and earn trust fast with senior finance and executive stakeholders. You run the room in a design workshop and bring people with you. You have the breadth to hold an entire SAP finance solution in your head and the critical thinking to keep it coherent under pressure. You have commercial instinct — an eye for where an account can grow and a firm hand on scope, commercials and contract realities. You're a genuine team player who develops the people around you, and you're known for sound, decisive calls under pressure. Things that set strong candidates apart: all-round SAP finance design — knowing how the FI and CO modules work and fit together; a track record (typically 10+ years) leading large-scale, multi-workstream SAP finance programmes end to end; SAP certification; and a professional finance or accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent industry experience). You may not have done every part of this. If it's the shape of what you do, we'd like to talk. Within Accenture, the Finance Reinvention Partner helps clients improve financial performance around the CFO agenda — driving best-in‑class performance, and sharper insight and benchmarking across the enterprise. In the UK and Ireland, our Finance RP practice brings together finance strategy and the platforms it runs on, including SAP, Oracle, Workday and EPM. You'd help lead our Platforms transformation offering within the practice: a growing team delivering large-scale, business-led SAP finance transformations, and building AI into how we deliver. It's a place to shape deep SAP finance work and the offering around it, close to the CFO agenda it serves. Alongside a competitive salary and package (dependent on experience), you'll have an extensive benefits package including 30 days' holiday a year, private medical insurance, and 3 additional days' leave a year for charitable work of your choice. Due to the security requirements of this role, you must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC). Accenture is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of society. Closing date for applications: 28/02/2027. Accenture reserves the right to close the role earlier should a suitable applicant be found. #LI-EU Accenture is a leading global professional services company that helps the world’s leading businesses, governments and other organizations build their digital core, optimize their operations, accelerate revenue growth and enhance citizen services—creating tangible value at speed and scale.
