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 experience in semantic markup, responsive design, and accessibility standards. Hands-on experience with Drupal frontend development, including theming, Twig templating, and site-building, is essential. A strong understanding of web security fundamentals and secure coding practices is required, along with familiarity with Git-based workflows for collaborative development. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to work independently, communicate effectively, and manage tasks efficiently in a remote environment.

Expertise in Drupal frontend development—advanced theming, CSS architecture using BEM or Sass, JavaScript integration, and performance optimization—is highly desirable. Additionally, a comprehensive understanding of Drupal backend development, including custom module creation, PHP (7.x/8.x), Drupal's object-oriented architecture, services, and API integrations, is critical. Experience conducting security audits and vulnerability assessments on Drupal applications will be considered a significant advantage. Candidates should also have a proven track record of mentoring junior developers and leading technical decision-making processes.
