Join to apply for the Platform Engineer [CI] role at Aha!

Aha! is the world's #1 product development software. We help more than 1 million product builders go from discovery to delivery and bring their strategy to life. Our suite of tools includes Aha! Roadmaps, Aha! Discovery, Aha! Ideas, Aha! Whiteboards, Aha! Knowledge, Aha! Teamwork, and Aha! Develop. Product teams rely on our expertise, guided templates, and training programs via Aha! Academy to be their best. We are proud to be a very different type of high-growth SaaS company. The business is self-funded, profitable, and 100% remote. We are recognized as one of the best fully remote companies to work for, champion the Bootstrap Movement, and have given over $1M to people in need through Aha! Cares. Learn more at www.aha.io.

Our team

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.

• We move quickly : 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.
• We collaborate : 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.
• We value product over process : 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.
• We enjoy : We like what we do. And we want you to love your job too. Learn more about The Responsive Method, our company values, and the generous benefits we offer.

Our technology

Our web application is a single-instance, multitenant 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. We use GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners for fast, thorough continuous integration testing.

We embrace new technologies that help us deliver a lovable product, but we also remain cognizant of the maintenance overhead 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.

We do most of our planning and collaboration in Aha! Roadmaps and built Aha! Develop 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.)

Your experience

Skills

We believe that being a kind person who elevates the rest of the team is just as valuable as writing great code.

You want to work with people who enjoy picking up a problem and solving it, regardless of the technologies and techniques involved. You have worked at meaningful scale before and want to do so again.
