• Cloud Deployment: Collaborate with DevOps teams to deploy, monitor, and scale Drupal applications in cloud environments.
• Code Quality: Write clean, well-documented, and reusable PHP and JavaScript code, participating actively in peer code reviews and mentoring junior team members.

• Clearance: Must possess an active Secret Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship required).
• 5+ years of active, professional experience in Drupal development (with deep hands-on experience in Drupal 8, 9, or 10).
• Strong proficiency in PHP, as well as web fundamentals including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+).
• Expert-level understanding of the Drupal API, Hook system, Drush, Composer, and the creation of custom modules and themes.
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL) and database optimization.
• Proficiency with code versioning tools, such as Git.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently in an agile, remote team environment.

Preferred Qualifications
