Aha! is hiring a Remote Senior Front End Ruby on Rails Engineer
Aha! Engineering is a mid-sized, fully remote team. We are centered around North American time zones so that we can collaborate during the workday.\n\n**Our core values include:**\n\n* [The Responsive Method](https://www.aha.io/company/the-responsive-method)\n* Moving 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 doesnโt.\n* Product over process. We want our engineers to have the time and focus to solve deep and sometimes-difficult problems, so we aim to minimize the overhead introduced by heavyweight processes or excessive meetings.\n* Collaboration. We each bring unique experiences and skills to the table. Working together to share that knowledge benefits the entire team and helps us to produce the best results for our customers.\n\n**Who are we looking for**\n\nWe donโt believe that there is any tension between writing great code and being a kind person who elevates the rest of the team. We look for strong problem-solving skills and experience working on important functionality for a cloud-based product -- and just as importantly, we look for people who are humble, eager to learn, and always willing to help others learn as well. We want to work with people who enjoy picking up a problem and solving it, regardless of the technologies and techniques involved.\n\nAll of our engineers work across the full stack. As a Senior Front End Engineer, you can expect to spend the majority of your time working with React or HTML/CSS, but you will also be asked to write significant backend code in Ruby on Rails to support the frontend features you are building.\n\n**Technology**\n\nOur sole product is the Aha! web application. It is a single-instance, multi-tenant Ruby on Rails monolith supported by Postgres (database), Redis (background jobs), and memcached (Rails caching). We also run a Node.js web server to support collaborative editing and real-time updates. Our application is hosted on Amazon Web Services and architected with ECS for reproducibility and scalability.\n\nWe use React for rich client-side experiences on the frontend. Some of the features weโve built with React include:\n\nOur fully collaborative text editor, which supports multiple cursors and simultaneous editing by any number of users. We also published a blog post explaining the underlying technology.\nOur presentation editor, which allows users to create presentations with slide themes, shapes, text, and embedded Aha! reports (which update live so the presentation is always up-to-date).\nOur Gantt chart, which supports scaling and scrolling to change the timeline, drag-and-drop, and quick actions to create records or sort the bars.\n\nWe embrace new technologies that help us deliver a great product, but we also remain cognizant of the maintenance overhead that a new library or platform brings. We seek to solve the problems in front of us, rather than prematurely optimizing to address issues that may never materialize.\n\nWe do most of our collaboration and planning in Aha! itself, which we find especially rewarding. We also utilize GitHub, Slack, and GoToMeeting for video calls.\n\n**What youโll be doing**\n\nWe work on a broad range of features across the full stack. Some of your work might include:\n\n* Implementing new features for our users, touching each layer of the MVC as needed\n* Building deeply interactive reporting interfaces using React\n* Working proactively with product and UX to refine and iterate on specifications as the feature takes shape\n* Optimizing browser performance on screens and components that render large quantities of data to ensure Aha! is snappy and satisfying to use\n* Interfacing directly with customers to quickly squash bugs as part of our regular support rotation\n* Documenting components in our styleguide to help drive consistency across the interface\n\n*If this sounds appealing, we would love to hear from you and discuss further. A real human reviews every application, so please use the form to help us learn more about you.* \n\nPlease mention the words **INNOCENT ESTATE CLIMB** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xMzguMTAyLjE3OA==).

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
