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.

You will also assist the SRE team in building out monitoring and observability pipelines. - Building infrastructure services to be used by Aha! product developers. This will usually include writing a reference architecture in our main Rails app. - Working with the SRE team to write and maintain well-written production runbook and operations documentation - Consulting with application developers on performance optimization or scaling challenges If the Sr. Platform Engineer role sounds appealing, we would love to hear from you. (A real human reviews every application.) Grow with us Everyone deserves to reach their fullest potential.
