Job Description

Job Description

Hi , I’m Abhik, Ashby’s Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We’re looking for a great (former) engineer who built impressive products and now builds teams of great engineers. Ashby’s success and ambition mean we’re doubling the Engineering team in the next year, and we need your experience and leadership to do it thoughtfully.

Our product and growth are exceptional. Ashby All-in-One is powerful, easy to use, and replaces several venture-backed companies' worth of products (often with a better experience). 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, very low churn, and many years of runway.

A big part of our secret sauce is how we run Engineering. We achieve incredible speed and quality by discarding many industry norms and being optimistic about Engineers. We consider what makes exceptional Engineers exceptional, figure out how to hire them, and build an environment that gives them the freedom and agency to actually be exceptional. In other words, if engineers writing product specs, making product decisions, and not breaking down projects into individual tickets excites you, you’ve found the right place.

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll work closely with me, Colin, and your peers to build out the team and continue scaling this unique culture.

You’ll first do that through grassroots leadership. You’ll manage three to five Engineers and hire three to five more. They’ll cover multiple teams and a variety of specializations, from Product Engineers to Site Reliability Engineers to Design Engineers. Your day-to-day will include:

• Providing 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.

• Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience. Engineering leaders at Ashby are great engineers and enjoy keeping their skills up-to-date (while staying off the critical path).

You’ll also propose and lead department and company-wide initiatives. Some examples:

• Rethink how we (and the industry) do pull request reviews by aligning on goals with the team, sampling a set of PRs to understand how effective they are, and writing a proposal to the team about what we could change to speed up reviews while giving reviewers the time and space to give useful feedback.

• Design and improve interviews based on candidate and team feedback. We pride ourselves on thoughtful interviews that simulate actually working with us!

• 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.

I’ll share more details once we meet.

What We’re Building

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.

Imagine yourself.
+ Doing meaningful work that makes an everyday impact on the world around you.
+ Growing your expertise and expanding your skillset with every project.
+ Thriving in a supportive team environment that inspires you to strive for excellence.

Job Description

Job Description

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding and we've been recognized with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award, the AAM Supplier Excellence Innovation Award, and the 2024 BC Tech "Company of the Year – Growth", we are on a mission to redefine the future of AI-driven robotic vision systems. Apera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera's software have 4D Vision – the ability to see and handle objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. Apera is led by an experienced team from high-growth companies focused on robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing.

Let's End Robot Blindness. Together.

Robots can do amazing things, if they can see.
Apera AI builds breakthrough 4D Vision™ systems that give robots the clarity to handle complex, real-world tasks.

But vision alone isn't enough, it needs a foundation that scales, updates, and performs flawlessly.
That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer – Platform to design and build the software foundation that powers Apera's vision-guided robotics systems.
You'll solve complex system challenges, bridge hardware and software, and ensure every deployment — from lab to factory floor — runs with precision and reliability.

This is a systems-first role, not app development, not web services.
You'll design, implement, and maintain deployment frameworks, provisioning tools, and hardware integration layers that make vision-driven robotics scalable and reliable.

What You'll Actually Do

• Build the backbone: Design and implement platform software in Python and C++ that automates deployment, provisioning, upgrades, and backups for distributed robotic systems.
• Integrate hardware: Connect and validate vision cameras, NVIDIA GPUs, network devices, and robot controllers into a seamless, high-performance platform using Dockerized environments.
• Configure the platform: Contribute to Linux (Ubuntu) system configuration, including autoinstall, cloud-init, and image management to support scalable deployments.
• Automate reliability: Develop automated health checks, backup/restore processes, and upgrade workflows that keep systems running with near-zero downtime.
• Empower teams: Build automation tools that reduce setup and testing time by 30% or more, accelerating deployment cycles for engineering and field teams.
• Continuously improve: Pilot AI-assisted diagnostics, predictive testing, and performance profiling to enhance platform stability and developer productivity.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with robotics, vision, and infrastructure engineers to ensure the Apera platform integrates seamlessly across the full technology stack.

Why This Is a Career Move (Not Just a Job)

At Apera, we don't just give robots vision — we build the foundation that keeps that vision running reliably, anywhere in the world.

Here's what makes this role special:

• You'll shape the core. Your code becomes the backbone for every Apera deployment, from pilot projects to global rollouts.
• You'll grow across layers. Work from Python and C++ up through Linux configuration, Docker orchestration, and GPU integration, influencing architecture and process design.
• You'll see your impact. Every improvement you ship reduces install time, boosts uptime, and helps scale AI vision to more robots worldwide.
• You'll define reliability. You'll help set the standard for what "production-ready" means in AI-driven robotics systems.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in system-level or platform software development.
• Proficiency in Python and C++, with experience building deployment or configuration tools.
• Hands-on experience with Linux environments (Ubuntu preferred), Docker, and automation frameworks.
• Experience integrating hardware, cameras, GPUs, robot controllers, and network interfaces — into cohesive systems.
• Familiarity with Ubuntu autoinstall, cloud-init, and system imaging for scalable deployment automation.
• Knowledge of DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted testing.
• Strong debugging, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with NVIDIA GPU workflows and high-performance Dockerized compute.
• Background in camera hardware integration, PoE systems, or network peripherals.
• Familiarity with SELinux, OverlayFS/SquashFS, or Linux performance profiling.
• Exposure to AWS infrastructure or distributed system design.
• Curiosity to explore predictive diagnostics and AI-assisted monitoring.

Why Apera?

• Every employee is an owner, equity for all.
• A culture of curiosity: we experiment, learn fast, and share openly.
• Well-funded and scaling quickly, with a recent Series A fueling product and platform innovation.
• Purpose with impact: Your work won't sit idle, it will power robots in factories around the world.
