About The Role

We are hiring a Web Developer who can operate across the full spectrum of modern web development — from crafting precise, responsive frontends to building robust Drupal backends with a security-first mindset. This is a single, flexible role open to candidates at both junior and senior levels. The depth of responsibilities and compensation will be calibrated to your experience, with junior candidates expected to have strong frontend fundamentals and Drupal exposure, and senior candidates expected to bring full-stack Drupal expertise along with a proven command of web security protocols.

If you are someone who takes pride in clean code, thinks about security from the ground up, and wants to grow within a collaborative remote-first team — we would like to hear from you.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess a solid command of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with hands-on experience in Drupal frontend development, including theming and Twig templating. A strong understanding of web security fundamentals and secure coding practices is essential. Familiarity with Git-based workflows and collaborative development environments is required. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to work independently, communicate effectively in a remote setting, and manage multiple tasks efficiently. Expertise in Drupal backend development, including custom module development, PHP (7.x/8.x), and API integrations, is highly valued. Additional qualifications include experience conducting security audits, vulnerability assessments, and mentoring junior developers.

Responsibilities

Frontend Development

• Develop responsive, cross-browser-compatible web interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
• Build and customise Drupal frontends — including theme development, Twig templating, and site configuration.
• Translate design mockups and wireframes into pixel-accurate, accessible, and performant UI components.
• Ensure consistent UI quality across devices, browsers, and screen resolutions.
