We help more than 1 million product builders go from discovery to delivery and bring their strategy to life. Our suite of tools includes <a>Aha! Roadmaps</a>, <a>Aha! Discovery</a>, <a>Aha!

Learn more at <a>www.aha.io</a>.</p><h2>Our team</h2><p>Aha! engineering is a mid-sized, fully remote team that is highly productive. We are centered around North American time zones so we can collaborate during the workday.</p><ul><li><p><strong>We move quickly:</strong> We ship code multiple times a day. We believe in getting new features in front of customers and iteratively improving as we learn what works and what does not.</p></li><li><p><strong>We collaborate:</strong> We each bring unique experiences and skills to the table. Working together to share that knowledge benefits the entire team and helps us produce the best results for our customers.</p></li><li><p><strong>We value product over process:</strong> We want the team to have the time and focus to solve complex challenges. We aim to minimize the overhead introduced by heavyweight processes and excessive meetings.</p></li><li><p><strong>We enjoy:</strong> We like what we do. And we want you to love your job too. Learn more about <a>The Responsive Method</a>, our company <a>values</a>, and the generous <a>benefits</a> we offer.</p></li></ul><h2>Our technology</h2><p>Our web application is a single-instance, multi-tenant Ruby on Rails monolith supported by Postgres (database), Redis (background jobs), memcached (Rails caching), and Kafka. We also run a Node.js webserver to support collaborative editing and real-time updates. Our application is hosted on Amazon Web Services and architected with ECS for reproducibility and scalability.</p><p>We embrace new technologies that help us deliver a lovable product, but we also remain cognizant of the maintenance overhead that a new library or platform brings. We solve the problems in front of us rather than prematurely optimizing to address issues that may never materialize. That said, some of the largest companies in the world store a large amount of their precious strategic data in Aha!, so we do plenty of optimizing too.</p><p>We do most of our planning and collaboration in <a>Aha! Roadmaps</a> and built <a>Aha! Develop</a> so that software engineers and their teams could take advantage of those same rich features. We use Slack and Zoom for video calls. (Email? Rarely.)</p><h2>Your experience</h2><p>We believe that being a kind person who elevates the rest of the team is just as valuable as writing great code.

This includes:</p><ul><li><p>Building developer tooling such as CI pipelines, local and staging environments, and helpful CLI tools. You will also assist the SRE team in building out monitoring and observability pipelines.</p></li><li><p>Building infrastructure services to be used by Aha! product developers. This will usually include writing a reference architecture in our main Rails app.</p></li><li><p>Working with the SRE team to write and maintain well-written production runbook and operations documentation</p></li><li><p>Consulting with application developers on performance optimization or scaling challenges</p></li></ul><p>If the Sr. Platform Engineer role sounds appealing, we would love to hear from you.
