We make a Rails application that lets universities deliver free online learning to millions of people around the world, and I’m looking for Ruby developers of all experience levels to come and help us build it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">All the details are at <a href="https://futurelearn-ltd.workable.com/jobs/406671" class="">https://futurelearn-ltd.workable.com/jobs/406671</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Briefly, though, you should join us for the same reason that I joined: it’s a good place to work. We pay fair, competitive salaries; we work flexible hours and are serious about encouraging a healthy work/life balance; we anonymise job applications to help us evaluate them on ability and potential rather than unconscious bias; we solve difficult and interesting problems for our users; we make an effort to build software in a sensible way, and communicate openly about how to get better at doing that.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m especially keen on our culture of learning — we regularly <a href="https://about.futurelearn.com/blog/making-futurelearn/running-a-learning-hour/" class="">get together</a> to teach each other interesting stuff, and because we’re owned by the Open University, everyone who works here can take an OU course for free if they want to.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyway, there’s lots more in <a href="https://futurelearn-ltd.workable.com/jobs/406671" class="">the ad</a>, but if you’re even mildly interested I encourage you to either apply or email <a href="mailto:jobs@futurelearn.com" class="">jobs@futurelearn.com</a> with any questions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">-Tom</div></div></body></html>
