About Ashby

We’re building the next generation of enterprise software and we’re starting with a suite of products that empower talent leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers to be a driving force for revenue & efficiency via a holistic, data-centric talent strategy.

We are well funded and backed by great investors, including Y Combinator, Elad Gil and Lachy Groom. We have almost 2,000 amazing customers including Snowflake, OpenAI, Shopify, Ramp, Notion, and Zapier (and many others who we cannot name!).

We have a clear buyer persona and large target market. Plus, we already have multiple products to sell. Revenue and headcount is growing 100% Y/Y and we've only taken the first steps towards a much larger opportunity. In short, it's the perfect time to join! 🚀

About this Role
