  • Integrate & Connect: Build and consume robust RESTful APIs to integrate Drupal seamlessly with external enterprise databases and third-party services.
  • Maintain & Secure: Apply routine security patches, updates, and performance optimizations to keep systems secure and compliant with federal standards.
  • Cloud Deployment: Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy, monitor, and scale Drupal applications in cloud environments.
  • Code Quality: Write clean, well-documented, and reusable PHP and JavaScript code, participating actively in peer code reviews and mentoring junior team members.

  • Expert-level understanding of the Drupal API, Hook system, Drush, Composer, and the creation of custom modules and themes.
  • Experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL) and database optimization.
  • Proficiency with code versioning tools, such as Git.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently in an agile, remote team environment.
