Demo Engineer

About the Role

As Ashby’s first Demo Engineer, you will own the systems that make demo environments reliable, current, and tailored. This role is a net-new position. You will sit within Solutions Engineering, reporting to the Global Head of Solutions Engineering, and partner closely with Internal Platform and Product teams. Your work will be split roughly 70/30:

• 70% owning, customizing, and extending the demo template system, and the data and content within it.
• 30% running demo readiness as a program, including release readiness, documentation, and enablement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the scaled demo system: customize and extend the demo environment infrastructure to support the Go-to-Market (GTM) team.
• Generate realistic demo data: standardize and automate how demo environments are populated to eliminate manual setup.
• Build vertical- and market-specific demos: create tailored content for target verticals and additional languages.
• Own demo readiness for new releases: ensure every feature is correctly configured and demoable in demo environments before it ships.
• Stand up trial and sandbox environments: create templated environments prospects can use to test Ashby during the sales cycle.
• Document how it all works: maintain clear documentation so the GTM team knows when and how to use each demo environment.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Comfortable working in JSON.
• Comfortable calling REST / developer APIs.
• Comfortable using AI tools.
• Comfortable scripting to configure and customize environments.
• Systems thinker who would rather standardize and automate than manually repeat the same setup.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy a 0→1 role where infrastructure is still being built.
• Ability to partner well cross-functionally (with Engineering and GTM) and translate their needs into reliable systems.

Qualifications

• Genuinely hands-on technical: working with internal tools and configuration files, using APIs, and general data preparation.
• A builder who gets energy from creating systems and tooling that make a whole team more effective over time.
• Deep care for demo quality, understanding what makes a product demo land, and thoughtfulness about data realism and narrative.
• Strong product intuition and ability to learn a deeply configurable product quickly, understanding how different pieces connect.
• Iterative mindset: testing what works, refining over time, and improving based on field learnings.
• Empathy for the Go-to-Market teams supported and the Talent Acquisition space they sell into.

Bonus Points

• Experience building demo environments, demo data, or sandbox/trial environments at a SaaS company.
• Experience writing automation scripts or tooling to generate data or configure environments at scale.
• Experience building and maintaining a library of reusable, templated environments or assets.
• Experience with HR tech, ATS workflows, or recruiting operations.
