QA Engineer

Hi! I'm Shriya, and I lead QA at Ashby.

We're hiring a QA Engineer to help us test and strengthen the quality of our product.

I think of QA as something you build into the system, not as something you layer on top for added confidence. I'm not interested in gatekeeping quality or creating a process for its own sake. I care about feedback that's fast and useful, the kind engineers trust, and catching the problems users would actually notice.

That's what brought me to Ashby. Engineers take on a lot of ownership, including the quality of their work, which often means they test it themselves. QA here isn't about convincing people to care or taking quality off their plate. It's about being another set of eyes on a fast-evolving product. Sometimes that means seeing the edge case. Sometimes that means spotting the product's blind spot before it hits production.

In this role, you'll decide what to test, when to test, and which product areas are worth automating. We're a small team, so the work is mixed. We all roll up our sleeves when needed.

Most of your time, roughly 70%, is hands-on manual testing.
