Overview
Cyanna Education Services is looking for a FT Ruby on Rails Developer with PHP Experience to help us build our next generation e-learning platform and be a valuable member of our internal development team.

Cyanna is a virtual company and as such, this is a telecommute/work from home position. However, while everyone on our team works remotely, we meet and collaborate frequently using various virtual meeting tools, and other virtual applications as well as occasional in-person meetings throughout the year.

Specific Skills and Abilities
Is this position a good fit for you? It is if you are:
  • An easy going software developer with great communication skills. Eager to learn and always on top of new technologies, but still able to pick the right tools for the right job. Pragmatism is totally your thing.
  • Couple of years experience working with PHP, Ruby, Ruby on Rails or a similar platform.
  • Github is a part of your system and the Github pull request workflow is the only way to go. You love contributing to open source.
  • Vast knowledge of Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.
  • Someone that writes tests and uses automated builds using CircleCI/Travis and tests to validate their code.
  • Not intimidated by these following items: Bundler, Rails 4, ES6, HTML5, Git, Test Unit, Posgtgresql
  • Able to show us your existing projects, demo your code or pitch why and what you love to do.


  • Experience, Qualifications, and Other Requirements
    Ideal candidates should have experience with:
  • Rails
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • CSS (SASS)
  • jQuery (Backbone.js a plus)
  • SQL (postgres a plus)
  • Git
  • API development
  • Browser compatibility
  • deployment methodologies (e.g. Capistrano)
  • database/query optimization


  • Special consideration will be given to those with PHP experience, who are willing to maintain and improve upon legacy products in PHP while slowly migrating code base to RoR and helping with other RoR projects.
  • Additional consideration for those in the Columbus, Ohio, Milwaukee, Wisconsin or Washington DC areas. Although the position is telecommute, if you were in either of these markets, it would put you in close proximity to team members to periodically participate in team meetings.
  • Excellent written and verbal English skills for the purpose of documentation development, course development, editing and communication.
  • Ability to work efficiently in a virtual, fast paced environment.
