Full-stack Drupal Developer for Nonprofit Websites (Fully Remote, Full time is 35 hours/week)

Who We're Looking For

DevCollaborative is seeking a full-stack developer who has experience working in Drupal 10 and is based in the United States. This is a fully remote position; our full-time work week is 35 hours. 

We are looking for someone who cares about making websites accessible, understands accessibility basics, writes well-documented code, strives to follow coding standards and best practices, and has an always-learning mindset. 

The right match for this role will be someone who enjoys working collaboratively on a team with content strategists, designers, developers, project managers, project owners, and clients. We expect all candidates to have experience with PHP (including object-oriented PHP), CSS, HTML, and modern JavaScript (we prefer vanilla JavaScript; JS framework experience is not required).

Successful candidates will have strong technical skills, patience, and compassion for explaining technical concepts to others in plain language. They will be able to manage themselves in a 100% remote work environment and excel at communicating well with other team members and clients.

Our work focuses on the accessibility and sustainability of content, design, and code. We have clients on both coasts doing progressive, innovative work to make things better. We aim to build them clear, usable, long-lasting, inclusive websites that help them accomplish important work.
