You will work directly with our global team, delivering pixel-perfect, high-performance web experiences for major brands. The Team Join a team of 50+ engineers building next-generation digital experiences.

Key Responsibilities • Advanced Drupal Development • Develop and maintain high-quality Drupal 10/11 themes using Twig, SASS, and modern build workflows (Webpack/Vite). • Implement complex UI designs with a focus on responsiveness, accessibility(WCAG), and performance. • Collaborate with other developers to structure content types, views, and block layouts that support flexible front-end theming. • Work with Component-Driven Design principles (e.g., Storybook, Pattern Lab) to create/support reusable UI libraries. • Hybrid Front-End Versatility • Context Switching: Seamlessly transition to non-Drupal projects when required, working on features in React, Next.js, or TypeScript. • Support "Decoupled" or "Headless" Drupal initiatives by consuming REST/JSON:API endpoints in a modern JavaScript frontend. • Maintain consistency in coding standards regardless of the framework (Drupal or React) • Code Quality & Collaboration • Write clean, documented, and efficient code that respects Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS). • Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback to peers to maintain codebase health. • Proactive Communication: actively communicate status, blockers, and questions to US/EU stakeholders via Slack and Jira. You don''t wait to be asked; you keep the team informed. Required Skills & Experience Technical Core • 5+ years of front-end development experience. • 3+ years specialized experience in Drupal Front-End (Theming, Twig, Site Building). - Strong proficiency in Modern JavaScript (ES6+). You aren''t just a "jQuery developer" - you understand modern JS concepts. • Solid understanding of React (or similar frameworks) and the ability to write functional components and handle hooks. • Expertise in CSS preprocessors (SASS/SCSS) and responsive design frameworks (Tailwind or Bootstrap). • Experience with Git, CI/CD workflows, and package managers (NPM/Yarn/Composer). Professional Attributes • Self-Starter: You can take a ticket, analyze the requirements, and deliver the solution with minimal supervision. • Clear Communicator: Strong written and verbal English is essential. You can articulate technical complexities to Product Managers and other developers clearly. • Adaptable: You are comfortable shifting gears between a monolithic Drupal site and a modern React application as project priorities evolve. Preferred Qualifications • Knowledge of Next.js and Headless CMS concepts. • Knowledge of utility-first CSS (Tailwind) and modern state management (Redux, Zustand). • Exposure to headless CMS, composable commerce, or authentication solutions (NextAuth.js). • Familiarity with Next.js App Router, React Server Components, or edge computing. What We Offer • Remote work with a flexible schedule. • Opportunities to shape architectural decisions and mentor peers. • Exposure to Fortune 500 brands and cutting-edge web technologies. Apply If You... • Are a Drupal expert who loves the CMS but doesn''t want to get left behind by the modern JavaScript revolution. • Take pride in pixel-perfect implementation and clean code. • Want to work with a global team that values technical excellence and autonomy.
