Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, Drupal

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

We're seeking a talented Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to an exciting website modernization project for the Department of Commerce. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a modern, user-friendly, and accessible digital experience that helps businesses navigate tricky regulations.
This project uses a modern tech stack: a headless Drupal backend, a Next.js frontend, Tailwind CSS for styling, and GraphQL to connect Drupal and Next.js. The entire system is hosted in an Azure cloud environment. While you'll be working across the full stack, your sweet spot will be on the frontend, bringing designs to life and ensuring a high-quality user experience. You'll also have the opportunity to work with Drupal as a headless CMS, so some experience in that area is a plus.

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

This position is fully remote. Our entire team is remote across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. There will never be a return-to-office, as we have none!

At For People, you will:

• Develop and maintain the frontend of a headless Drupal website using Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.
• Integrate the Next.js frontend with the headless Drupal backend using GraphQL APIs.
• Work with the backend Drupal CMS, including content modeling and API integrations.
• Collaborate with our Human-Centered Design team to translate wireframes and mockups into high-quality, reusable code.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Optimize user-facing tools and search functions for maximum speed and scalability.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Effectively communicate and collaborate with team members, stakeholders, and government partners to understand requirements and deliver solutions.

• A humble and caring attitude aligning with For People’s values – how we work with passion, fun, curiosity, sustainability, humility, and respect
• Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly React and Next.js.
• Experience with Drupal, preferably in a headless or decoupled architecture.
• Familiarity with version control platforms, such as Git or Azure Repos.
• A genuine passion for building user-centered digital services in government.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You can clearly articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and thrive in a collaborative environment.
• 4+ years of experience in software development and a Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent)

Location: 100% remote within the United States. Fully paid travel may be required 1-2 times per year to the  Washington, DC area for in-person team collaboration.

Salary Range: $110,000-$130,000 annually, plus comprehensive benefits and annual company profit sharing.

Work Authorization: As we work on U.S. Federal Government programs, you must be a United States citizen and able to pass a public trust background check.

For People is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We welcome all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, or veteran status.
