We believe in being...

  • Authentic — When we interact, we do so honestly and without pretense.
  • Inquisitive — Question everything, lust for learning.
  • Value-focused — We produce work that adds value to our clients and their constituents.

Our technical team is characterized by a diligent focus on quality. We have a mature development process with great tools and solid suite of best practices to build on, as well as a strong technical leadership team. 

Your work would consist of:

  • Using Drupal + our site-building stack to create the structure of Drupal sites from information architecture and user experience documents: Building content types, adding fields, creating views
  • Basic Drupal theming with HTML/CSS/JS, manipulating image assets as needed; all our themes are based on the Bootstrap front-end framework
  • Help with support requests from ongoing clients
  • Help create estimates of hours or effort involved with implementing features for planning purposes

At a minimum you should:

  • Thoroughly understand HTML5, CSS3 and have some javascript and jquery aptitude
  • Be comfortable with a command line
  • Be familiar with version control
  • Have a good visual sense, although no graphic design expertise is necessary (often this involves extrapolating details from graphic design comps with guidance from the rest of the team)
  • Be detail oriented, motivated to get things "right" and a strong problem solver

It'd be great if you:

  • Have experience with Bootstrap
  • Have used SASS/SCSS or another CSS precompiler
  • Have played with Angular or other front end app frameworks
  • Have a working knowledge of PHP, Ruby, Python or another server-side platform
  • Understand basic software concepts

For senior candidates: Take advantage of our build process and tools to focus on creating exceptional front end experiences for our clients. A senior front end Drupal developer should:

  • Be able to extrapolate site structure from information architecture and user experience documents into a Drupal implementation
  • Be able to efficiently knock out site building tasks -- creating content types, adding fields, creating views, featurizing configuration
  • Efficiently and faithfully translate comps into working front end code
  • Have experience with Bootstrap, Foundation or similar front end frameworks
  • Have extensive experience with jQuery
  • Have experience with Angular or similar client side toolkits
  • Be extremely comfortable on a command line
  • Be happy to define your coding existence by what you commit to git
