p>The Design Engineer role is more common today than five years ago, but I believe Ashby offers a unique opportunity that few can match: First, this role has always had the commitment of both Benji (CEO & Co-Founder) and me: I've held the role, steadfastly championed it since we started hiring in 2020, and haven't diluted its responsibilities as we've grown (in fact, we've doubled down). Focus time is something that we hold sacred, and, with thoughtful and deliberate communication, engineers are in <2h meetings per week (I wrote about it here)..
