We're looking for a Drupal Frontend Developer with strong front-end engineering skills and solid working knowledge of Drupal to build high-quality, accessible, and performant user experiences. This is a frontend-heavy role (~70% frontend / 30% backend) — you'll spend most of your time building responsive UI, custom themes, and reusable components, while working comfortably within Drupal's backend architecture to integrate and support your front-end work.
Key Responsibilities
Frontend (Primary Focus)
- Build responsive, pixel-perfect user interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
- Develop and maintain custom Drupal themes using Twig
- Build reusable, component-based UI using Single Directory Components (SDC) or similar component-driven approaches
- Convert Figma/design mockups into accessible, cross-browser-compatible interfaces (WCAG compliance)
- Optimize front-end performance (page load times, Core Web Vitals, asset/bundle optimization)
Backend (Supporting Focus)
- Develop and maintain custom Drupal modules to support front-end functionality
- Work on site building, configuration management, and content architecture (content types, Views)
- Integrate with RESTful APIs and JSON:API for front-end data consumption
- Troubleshoot, debug, and support Drupal upgrades
- Use Composer and Drush for dependency management and site operations
General
- Participate in code reviews and follow Git-based collaborative workflows (branching, PRs)
- Collaborate closely with designers, backend developers, and project managers to deliver projects on time
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in Drupal (9/10/11) development, with a strong front-end focus
- Strong hands-on JavaScript (ES6+) — not just jQuery-level scripting
- Genuine, applied experience with React or Vue.js — not certification-only knowledge
- Solid Twig theming and custom theme development from scratch
- Strong HTML5, CSS3 (SASS/SCSS a plus), responsive design, and accessibility (WCAG) skills
- Working knowledge of Drupal site building (content types, Views, configuration management)
- Basic-to-solid PHP understanding — enough to work with Drupal APIs and REST/JSON:API endpoints
- Familiarity with Composer, Drush, and Git-based workflows
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with Single Directory Components (SDC)
- Experience with decoupled/headless Drupal (React/Vue/Next.js front-end on a Drupal backend)
- Exposure to CI/CD processes and tools
- Component library experience (Storybook, PatternLab, or similar)
- Front-end performance optimization expertise (Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, bundle size)
