Our commitment to opportunity

A place to be great

We believe you create lovability by putting people first — because every single person has value. People inherently deserve respect and the opportunity to do exceptional work. Aha! is a learning organization where everyone has an equal opportunity to grow and thrive. Our focus has always been on hiring the most talented person for each role, regardless of their background. And as an entirely remote company, our team is located around the globe. You will find us in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., South Africa, New Zealand, Colombia, and sometimes on extended adventures.

We are proud of the Aha! team and the diversity of our colleagues. We have unique journeys and experiences that individually make us who we are and collectively make us great. And we continue to work to make sure more people from groups historically underrepresented in software learn about Aha! and consider joining our team. We also support many more folks through our philanthropic work and commitment to the communities we live and work in.

Each of us has a role in changing the future. We cannot stand idly by. Change can happen quickly if there is action. Aha! continues to be part of that change by being a profitable business that honors one another. Since we started the company in 2013, we have held ourselves accountable for being a positive force. Here are a few specific ways we work to create more opportunity for all:

Hiring

Aha! is an equal opportunity employer that hires the most qualified candidate for every role. To ensure we are able to reach a broad pool of candidates, we partner with many organizations and widely used job boards. Our interview process is transparent and consistent across roles. We continually audit our hiring practices to ensure a positive, inclusive candidate experience.

Education

Learning is one of our core values — we are committed to listening, healthy debate, and ongoing improvement. In addition to deep conversations and readings related to realizing our potential, our team engages in mandatory trainings to help us improve how we engage with others. Training topics include unconscious bias, workplace harassment, and inclusive hiring practices.

Philanthropy

Aha! is fortunate to be a highly profitable company, meaning we have a moral responsibility to uplift others. Aha! Cares is our philanthropic initiative that provides nonprofit discounts and supports community-based organizations. The pillars for our financial giving and volunteering include food, safety, shelter, and opportunity. Aha! has contributed nearly $1 million and 4,000 hours to support nonprofits across seven countries and 113 cities. We see our work to date as just the beginning of what is possible.
