NOC code for Ruby on Rails developer?

[tp_marina]

Hi guys.

I work for a startup as a ruby on rails developer but I also program in javascript and write html/css. Sometimes I lead small projects to implement new features in our system and may help developing specifications (usually functional/technical specs, I never create mockups or anything like that).

I would like to know whether I should use NOC type 2174 or 2175. I saw another discussion where a full-stack developer asked this question and most people told him to use 2175 (Web designers and developers). But when I read the list of duties, it sounds much more like web developer duties than programmer duties. I think 2174 (Computer programmers and interactive media developers) fits better but I'm worried that this only refers to programming client-side applications (desktop or flash applications for the browser, for example).

Does anyone have more information on this topic? Can a RoR developer (which also does some front-end programming) use NOC 2174?

Thanks.

You may send email to NC-NOC-CNP-GD2@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca. They will confirm your NOC Code. They need following infromation:

In order for us to provide you with a potential NOC code, we require the following additional information about the occupation:

- a detailed description of the main duties;
- the education and work experience required by the employer for entry into the occupation; and
- the type of establishment in which the work is performed.

For reasons of security and privacy do not send any documentation electronically, such as resumes and government-issued case numbers or hyperlinks.

Note that the final decision for selecting the most appropriate National Occupational Classification (NOC) code is each individual's responsibility as you know your education, skills and abilities better than anyone else.

RoR is full web-development so in my view 2175 suites much better.
