Engineering Manager - UK
About the role
Engineering Manager role based in the United Kingdom (remote) leading Ashby’s European engineering team, shaping culture, ownership, and high-performance delivery.
Responsibilities
- Provide feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality. You don’t make the final decisions, but you’ll influence and coach ICs to reach the right ones.
- Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention. They still ask for help when needed - the difference is that they’re driving.
- Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience.
- Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts. It’s a project off the critical path, but it helps you keep up-to-date on our codebase while immensely impacting the business, from Engineering to QA to Sales.
Qualifications
- Proven experience in engineering leadership (engineering manager or similar) with hands-on technical background.
- Ability to grow and coach engineers, manage ownership, and drive cross-functional collaboration.
- Strong communication, empathy, and ability to give difficult feedback while maintaining high-trust culture.
Skills
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity.
- 10-year exercise window for stock options.
- Unlimited PTO and generous parental leave (minimum 12 weeks fully paid).
- Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
- Education budget of $100/month with room for higher-cost items with approval.
- Tool budget of $250/month plus access to Claude, Cursor, and Codex with generous token budgets.
- Comprehensive health insurance for US-based employees; high-quality supplemental health insurance for dependents in other regions.
