Aha! is looking for a Sr. DevOps engineer to build and maintain our highly automated AWS-based infrastructure. We value simplicity, robustness, performance, and low operational overhead. We like to script and configure using Ruby & Chef (via AWS OpsWorks).
We are seeing rapid growth, which means there are many interesting scale, performance, and architectural projects to tackle. DevOps engineers work as part of our overall engineering team, following the same development workflow we use for all parts of the product. Our DevOps engineers are responsible for directly implementing features in Ruby on Rails to support company operations, in addition to more traditional operations work in Chef and AWS.

- Has architected large-scale Ruby on Rails deployments in AWS from the ground up

- Has experience managing fleets of instances using a configuration management tool like Chef, Ansible, or Puppet, and a cloud orchestration tool like CloudFormation or Terraform
- Has a "security-first" mentality
- Has a computer science degree or demonstrated experience solving challenging CS problems
We are committed to being great, and we want someone who:
- Can work at a fast-paced company where the feedback cycle is measured in hours rather than weeks
- Has a "get it done" attitude and a background of delivering superb work again and again
- Is seeking a career-defining opportunity and a proven, results-oriented team that has sold multiple software companies
