The role We encourage collaborative engineering practices rooted in Extreme Programming (XP) such as pair programming, making overlap with our UK-based engineers highly preferable (GMT+0 to GMT+2). We are a market-leading nature tech company on a mission to make nature measurable and actionable at scale. Our platform delivers vital insights on species, habitats, and nature-related risks, helping businesses across sectors - from mining and renewable to CGS and financial services - make smarter, more sustainable decisions. As global leaders in biodiversity monitoring and eDNA analysis, we are transforming how nature is measured. Our technology makes biodiversity insights accessible, actionable, and scalable, powering change from conservation to industry. Recognised as Earthshot Prize Finalists 2024, BloombergNEF Pioneers 2024, World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers 2024, and part of the TechNation Future Fifty 2025, we are shaping the future of how organisations understand and protect nature. We are looking for an experienced full-stack Product Engineer to join our collaboration-first product engineering team. You'll join a team of seasoned engineers delivering end-to-end features across the entire stack that powers our transformational biodiversity platform. You won't just be writing code; you will be solving user problems, shaping the roadmap, and taking features from an initial concept through to a live product. Design, build and scale geospatial systems. Collaborating with domain experts across Engineering, Product, Data, Bioinformatics and Nature Strategy, you will translate complex requirements into seamless user experiences. You will help define and run experiments, practice rigorous iteration, and incrementally enhance our ability to build and evolve systems that store, compute and visualise geospatial and other nature-related datasets such as eDNA and bioacoustics. Influence technical strategy and make decisions in ambiguity. You will drive foundational work across product and engineering, helping our teammates navigate various data engineering challenges, guiding technology choice and adoption of best practices. This includes designing and delivering scalable, cloud-based systems and leveraging AI to accelerate development. Contribute to the sustainable delivery of quality software. You will produce well-tested, maintainable code across infrastructure, backend and frontend — using Go or Python on the back-end and React and TypeScript on the front-end — balancing quality with impactful velocity, through both pair programming and peer-reviewed development. Champion engineering fundamentals. You will help the team continually raise the bar through code review, open discussion, and by leading by example. When we move fast and keep scope lean, it's the scope that shrinks, rather than the quality. Support our customers. We believe in owning what we build. You will help define what success looks like for the features you ship, setting the right targets, alerts, and thresholds to catch problems before our customers do. You will participate in an on-call rotation to support issues as they arise, and actively work to reduce the repetitive, manual toil that slows the team down and limits our impact. Support our teammates. You will have ample opportunities to mentor other engineers as they build their skills and experience. You'll do so through pair programming, code reviews, daily communication with your team, giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, and helping your teammates grow. You have a strong sense of what good engineering looks like and can articulate and coach that, helping the team build not just their technical skills, but their engineering instincts. About you What you'll bring A love of nature. We are mission-driven, with a deep affinity for the protection of biodiversity and natural systems. To make hard things happen, our team puts mission over ego. You find purpose not only in your own growth but in stopping climate change and biodiversity collapse. Experience with scalable data processing. You have led the design and implementation of concurrent, scalable and reproducible data workflows, are familiar with the challenges of data-intensive systems, and can advocate for best practices across pipelines and distributed compute. The systems you build enable rapid feature development without accumulating the debt that slows teams down. Familiarity with geospatial concepts. You may not be a geospatial expert, but you're comfortable discussing the differences between vector and raster data and applying these to the design of geospatial data pipelines and storage. A strong sense of collaborative teamwork. You believe that the best outcomes come from working closely together, not just splitting tickets and syncing up at standup. Through pairing, shared ownership, and genuine investment in your teammates' growth, we deliver better software, spread knowledge more effectively, and build a team where everyone can do their best work sustainably. You act as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, bringing clarity to requirements and trade-offs, and helping everyone move in the same direction. Technical fluency across the stack. You are comfortable working across the full stack, from back-end data pipelines and APIs through to intuitive, responsive front-end interfaces. You go where the work is, not where your comfort zone is, and you care about the experience as much as the implementation. Comfortable supporting production software. You have experience shipping to production, investigating and triaging issues in deployed code, and have opinions about making on-call an effective and positive experience. When you ship, you ship with confidence, delivering tangible value and keeping the team moving forward. An adaptive and curious mindset. You are comfortable pivoting in response to new insights and don't wait to be pointed at problems. You proactively identify opportunities for improvement and take ownership of driving them forward, because you care about the product, not just your slice of it. A focus on customer value. You will look beyond the ticket and have the experience to keep things simple, revisit scope, and work in small iterations — never losing sight of the problem you were meant to solve. You are interested in how customers use the platform and are willing to iterate rapidly based on feedback and usage data. Clear and open communication. We consider clear and thoughtful communication a fundamental engineering skill and a strong predictor of future impact. You demonstrate this in your contribution to documentation, collaborative problem-solving, and willingness to give and receive feedback. Don't hesitate to apply despite only ticking some of these boxes. Our strength is in our diversity, and we look for individuals who bring something new to the team, whether it’s background, skill, or perspective. Though we are on the lookout for a Senior engineer, a pathway to Staff level exists for engineers who are willing and able to take on the responsibilities and expectations that come with it. We recommend discussing this pathway with the Head of Data and Engineering and Lead Software Engineer during the interview. What's in it for you Get up every morning knowing that you’re working to stop climate change and biodiversity collapse Competitive Salary Flexible work arrangements Opportunities for professional growth in a high-scaling tech environment. Benefits package (for those UK-based, international benefits will vary) including salary sacrifice pension scheme prioritising sustainability; life assurance; Enhanced annual leave; Cycle to Work Scheme; enhanced family friendly policy; £250 L&D budget to use on our Learning platform, Learnerbly. Why us? At NatureMetrics diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. It fuels our innovation and connects us to the communities we work with. Our values leave no space for stereotypes. We are all unique and pull together for a common purpose. About us Backed by ambitious investors, we're on a mission to make biodiversity measurable at scale to underpin global goals and accelerate finance into nature. NatureMetrics combines tech and AI to derive simple insights from the full complexity of nature on the ground. We're a dynamic team passionate about nature and biodiversity and we take immense pride in our work and our impact. Join us on this journey!

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.
