I am the CTO of Aha! and made the posting above.

Aha! is remote and we hire anywhere in North America. The way that LinkedIn searches work for remote jobs means that posting in specific cities makes our job postings more likely to appear for an individual person making a search.

I have hired two engineers for my engineering team over the last 30 days.

As a bootstrapped, and profitable, company we hire a bit different than might be typical in companies that are trying to spend their funding to meet hiring goals. We have hired almost continuously for the last nine years and grown our team as we find great candidates.

We make product management software. We have no interest in vacuuming resumes for the sake of it. Reading the thousands of applications we do receive takes a huge effort and we only do it because hiring a great team is so important to our success. Unfortunately we receive so many applications in total that it is not possible to send a personal response to each one.

Each month that we have open positions in engineering I make a post to Hacker News because we have hired many people from these postings. It turns out that readers of HN are more highly correlated with what we look for in engineers than almost any other place we advertise.
