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

Ideal candidates will possess a solid command of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with a keen understanding of semantic markup, responsive design, and accessibility standards. Hands-on experience with Drupal frontend development, including theming, Twig templating, and site-building, is essential. Candidates should have a strong awareness of web security fundamentals and secure coding practices, along with familiarity with Git-based workflows for collaborative development.

Proficiency in Drupal backend development—such as creating custom modules, PHP (7.x/8.x), Drupal’s object-oriented architecture, services, and API integrations—is required. The candidate should demonstrate expertise in web security, including OWASP Top 10 mitigation strategies, HTTPS/TLS configuration, CSRF protection, and Drupal-specific security hardening. Experience conducting security audits and vulnerability assessments on Drupal web applications is highly valued. Additionally, leadership qualities such as mentoring junior developers and guiding technical decisions are desirable.

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.

• Maintain and optimise Drupal installations, including core and contributed module updates.
  
  

Web Security

• Implement and enforce web security protocols across all development work — HTTPS/TLS configuration, CSRF protection, input validation, and secure authentication mechanisms.
• Apply OWASP Top 10 guidelines consistently to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
• Conduct periodic security reviews of codebases to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
