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 understanding of web development principles, particularly within the Drupal ecosystem. You should have hands-on experience with frontend technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, along with a strong foundation in Drupal theming, Twig templating, and site-building. Familiarity with secure coding practices and web security fundamentals is essential. Experience working with Git-based workflows and collaborative development environments is required. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to work independently, communicate effectively, and manage tasks efficiently in a remote setting. Advanced knowledge of Drupal backend development, including custom module creation, PHP (7.x/8.x), and API integrations, is highly desirable. Additionally, experience conducting security audits and vulnerability assessments will be considered a strong asset.

Responsibilities

Frontend Development

• Develop responsive, cross-browser-compatible web interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
• Build and customise Drupal frontends — including theme development, Twig templating, and site configuration.
• Translate design mockups and wireframes into pixel-accurate, accessible, and performant UI components.
• Ensure consistent UI quality across devices, browsers, and screen resolutions.
