Ashby is hiring a Staff Platform Engineer, EU

About the Role

Shape the backbone of a rapidly scaling platform by leading critical infrastructure initiatives that directly impact developer velocity and system reliability. You'll take full responsibility for designing, building, and refining systems that support thousands of customers and ensure secure, efficient feature delivery across engineering teams.

What You’ll Do

  • Refine and enhance a custom domain-specific language that translates into SQL, improving performance and developer tooling around it
  • Design and implement automated safeguards to protect customer data, ensuring compliance with security and privacy standards
  • Enable safe and incremental feature releases using canary deployments, feature flags, and gradual rollouts to minimize risk and downtime
  • Collaborate with engineering and business stakeholders to define service level objectives and the metrics that track them
  • Build resilient integrations with external services using retry logic, circuit breakers, and fault tolerance patterns
  • Develop and maintain the infrastructure required for event-driven workflows and scalable data storage solutions

Who You Are

You approach complex systems with deep curiosity and precision. You’re driven to understand root causes, anticipate edge cases, and build solutions that stand the test of time. You believe in empowering fellow engineers—not just through tools, but through knowledge and shared standards.

  • You persist until a problem reveals its logic, turning it over from every angle until clarity emerges
  • You resist short-term fixes that compromise long-term stability, advocating for robust, future-proof designs
  • You treat product engineers as partners, equipping them with systems that are powerful, safe, and understandable
  • You care deeply about the quality of your work and the people you work alongside
  • You take hiring seriously, actively contributing to the selection of future team members
  • You seek out peers who challenge and elevate you, and you aim to do the same for them
  • You assess technical and operational risk thoughtfully—both in your own decisions and in those of others

Technical Environment

Our stack emphasizes clarity, maintainability, and resilience. You’ll work with Infrastructure-as-Code, Kubernetes, Typescript, SQL, and event-driven architectures. Monitoring, SLOs, SLIs, and automated release processes are core to how we operate.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll have end-to-end ownership of foundational systems in a high-growth environment with strong financial health and long-term runway. This is a chance to influence platform engineering culture at a company where simplicity, autonomy, and technical excellence guide decision-making. Your work will directly shape how developers build and how customers experience the product.
