Rails developers needed
We are looking for Rails developers to work with us on a freelance basis. We are based in London and while we prefer someone local for face-to-face meetings, do drop us a line if you are remote.
Our core arsenal includes cucumber, devise, cancan and paperclip/carrierwave. We use haml and scss in most of our projects. Some of our projects are built with NodeJS, so Javascript skills are desirable.
We are a small company with a tightly knit core team. We are all technical (no non-tech managers) and have a lot of fun writing great and elegant code together.
If you are interested in working with us, send a message to elias@bitsilk.co.uk with a link to your Github profile (or according) and include a brief description how you would approach implementing multi-step registration in Ruby on Rails as elegantly and with as little impact as possible.
