Type: Full-time, permanent Working pattern: Flexible, home, office or hybrid Location: Within 50 miles of an office, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or London We're hiring an Agentic Solutions Engineer to lead the earliest, most open stage of our client work. You'll be the first engineer through the door on a new client engagement. Before there's a team, before there's a plan, with no one ahead of you telling you how to build it. Just a client trusting you to work out what's possible, then build the proof a delivery team can scale from. Most engineering roles start once the hard decisions are made. This one starts before them. If that sounds exciting rather than daunting, this could be for you. You decide how the work gets done. Most companies wrap their AI accounts in governance and access controls that block half of what's useful. We don't. Swap one AI tool for another, wire them into your stack, whatever suits the problem. No permission needed. The work spans sectors, from healthcare and commerce to media and education, and it's live transformation that ships. On a recent 19-week build, an AI insights platform turning complex data into clear, multilingual analysis, AI was embedded from day three and 80.5% of authored commits carried verifiable AI co-authorship. We call the approach Run: deliver something the business needs now, use that work to set better engineering practices, and leave the team stronger than you found it. You're close to clients from the start, so the effect of your decisions is visible. We're a UK digital product consultancy and a certified B Corp, with 20 years behind us and teams in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and London. AI reaches beyond the engineering floor. Around 40 people across the business, recruitment and operations included, are working out how AI changes their own roles. Turn customer goals into a solution architecture and technology choices. Build proofs of concept that validate your design and hand off cleanly. Define the agentic engineering pipeline: tooling, workflows and guardrails for AI coding agents. Shape the quality strategy, including test approach and code review. Make other engineers more capable, pairing on real work and leaving patterns client teams can own. Own the architectural decision records. You’ll be in front of clients from the first week, not just building behind the scenes. Shaping ambiguous problems and explaining your thinking to non-technical people is core to the job. If you'd rather keep your head down and code, this isn't for you. Real experience using AI agents to build production software, not copy-pasting from ChatGPT. The ability to break down a complicated, poorly defined problem and ship something that works. Strong TypeScript or Python, comfortable across the full stack, with frameworks such as NestJS or FastAPI. Experience meeting and presenting to clients directly. Strong written communication, especially for ADRs and docs others rely on. Experience in consulting, professional services or a forward-deployed role. A pragmatic take on architecture, sized to POC, pilot or production. This is a permanent role. We don't mandate office days, but we value time together in person, as a team and with clients. From time to time there will be client presentations and meetings we'd expect you to attend in person. To make that work, you'll need to be based within 50 miles of one of our offices in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or London.

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.

UA92 was founded to do higher education differently. Created through a unique partnership between Lancaster University and the Class of ’92, we combine the academic rigour and standards expected of UK higher education with an educational model built around employability, character development, inclusion and social mobility. We are proud of what we have built. But we are equally ambitious about what comes next. As UA92 continues to grow and mature as an institution, we are strengthening our academic governance, quality and regulatory capability and preparing for the next important stage in our development. Our ambition is to evolve from our current franchised provision towards validation arrangements and, in time, Degree Awarding Powers. We are now looking for a Head of Academic Quality and Governance to play a leading role in that journey. This is an opportunity for an experienced higher education professional to influence the academic infrastructure of an institution at a formative point in its development – working alongside our Registrar, Executive Team, Academic Board, Governing Body and colleagues at Lancaster University to build the frameworks that will underpin UA92 for years to come. As Head of Academic Quality and Governance, you will provide strategic leadership across academic quality, standards, governance and regulatory compliance. You will lead the development of a mature and sustainable academic governance framework for UA92, ensuring we have the academic regulations, policies, assurance mechanisms and governance structures needed to support our distinctive educational model and increasing institutional autonomy. A significant part of your remit will be helping to lead UA92’s progression from franchised provision towards validation arrangements and ultimately Degree Awarding Powers. Working closely with the Registrar and senior colleagues, you will provide strategic oversight of institutional readiness, academic assurance, enhancement, student outcomes, regulatory risk and governance effectiveness. You will be a trusted source of expertise to senior leaders and governors, providing clear advice on an increasingly complex UK higher education regulatory environment and ensuring UA92 continues to meet the expectations of the Office for Students and other relevant regulatory and sector bodies. You will also provide strategic oversight of our complaints, academic appeals and academic misconduct frameworks, ensuring our approach is fair, transparent and robust, while using the insight arising from student casework to strengthen institutional learning and quality enhancement. You will already have leadership experience within UK higher education, gained within academic quality, registry, governance, regulatory compliance or a closely related area. You will bring: • Expert knowledge of the UK higher education regulatory environment, including OfS Conditions of Registration, academic standards, quality assurance and enhancement., • Significant experience of academic governance and institutional assurance within higher education., • A strong understanding of validation, academic autonomy and the requirements associated with increasing institutional maturity., • Experience of developing academic regulations, policies and quality frameworks that are both rigorous and workable., • Experience of advising Executive Teams, Academic Boards, Governing Bodies and senior academic colleagues on complex academic and regulatory matters., • Strong understanding of complaints, academic appeals, academic misconduct and the OIA Good Practice Framework., • Experience of regulatory review, audit, inspection or external quality assessment activity., • The credibility and judgement to influence senior academics, executives, governors, partners and external stakeholders., • The ability to lead and develop high-performing teams through organisational growth and change. Experience of supporting an institution through a transition towards greater academic autonomy, leading validation activity or contributing significantly to a Degree Awarding Powers application would be particularly valuable. You will be comfortable operating in an organisation that is growing, evolving and prepared to challenge established ways of doing things. You'll know when academic convention matters, when regulation gives us clear parameters and when there is space to think differently. There aren't many opportunities in higher education where you can join an institution at this stage of its journey and have a genuine hand in shaping what it becomes. You will join an institution with an established academic relationship with Lancaster University, while helping UA92 develop the governance, quality and regulatory maturity required for its longer-term ambitions. You'll work closely with senior academic and professional colleagues and have the opportunity to influence institutional strategy, academic governance and the student experience at the highest level. We care about standards and academic rigour. We care equally about what those standards enable an outstanding education and meaningful opportunities for our students.

Type: Full-time, permanent Working pattern: Flexible, home, office or hybrid Location: Within 50 miles of an office, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or London We're hiring an Agentic Solutions Engineer to lead the earliest, most open stage of our client work. You'll be the first engineer through the door on a new client engagement. Before there's a team, before there's a plan, with no one ahead of you telling you how to build it. Just a client trusting you to work out what's possible, then build the proof a delivery team can scale from. Most engineering roles start once the hard decisions are made. This one starts before them. If that sounds exciting rather than daunting, this could be for you. You decide how the work gets done. Most companies wrap their AI accounts in governance and access controls that block half of what's useful. We don't. Swap one AI tool for another, wire them into your stack, whatever suits the problem. No permission needed. The work spans sectors, from healthcare and commerce to media and education, and it's live transformation that ships. On a recent 19-week build, an AI insights platform turning complex data into clear, multilingual analysis, AI was embedded from day three and 80.5% of authored commits carried verifiable AI co-authorship. We call the approach Run: deliver something the business needs now, use that work to set better engineering practices, and leave the team stronger than you found it. You're close to clients from the start, so the effect of your decisions is visible. We're a UK digital product consultancy and a certified B Corp, with 20 years behind us and teams in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and London. AI reaches beyond the engineering floor. Around 40 people across the business, recruitment and operations included, are working out how AI changes their own roles. Turn customer goals into a solution architecture and technology choices. Build proofs of concept that validate your design and hand off cleanly. Define the agentic engineering pipeline: tooling, workflows and guardrails for AI coding agents. Shape the quality strategy, including test approach and code review. Make other engineers more capable, pairing on real work and leaving patterns client teams can own. Own the architectural decision records. You’ll be in front of clients from the first week, not just building behind the scenes. Shaping ambiguous problems and explaining your thinking to non-technical people is core to the job. If you'd rather keep your head down and code, this isn't for you. Real experience using AI agents to build production software, not copy-pasting from ChatGPT. The ability to break down a complicated, poorly defined problem and ship something that works. Strong TypeScript or Python, comfortable across the full stack, with frameworks such as NestJS or FastAPI. Experience meeting and presenting to clients directly. Strong written communication, especially for ADRs and docs others rely on. Experience in consulting, professional services or a forward-deployed role. A pragmatic take on architecture, sized to POC, pilot or production. This is a permanent role. We don't mandate office days, but we value time together in person, as a team and with clients. From time to time there will be client presentations and meetings we'd expect you to attend in person. To make that work, you'll need to be based within 50 miles of one of our offices in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester or London.
