Joomla Backend Developer
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a highly skilled Backend Joomla Developer to lead the technical development and optimization of our web platforms. In this role, you will be the architect of our server-side logic, focusing heavily on the creation and customization of Joomla components, modules, and plugins. You will be responsible for managing complex MySQL databases and integrating third-party APIs such as payment gateways and CRMs to ensure our sites are both functional and scalable. Beyond initial builds, you will play a critical role in maintaining site health by performing core updates, implementing security patches, and troubleshooting technical bugs to ensure peak performance.
In this role, you will utilize deep expertise in PHP and Object-Oriented Programming with a comprehensive understanding of the Joomla framework's internal architecture. While your primary focus will be the backend, you should be comfortable working with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to ensure seamless integration with the frontend. We are seeking a proactive problem-solver who can translate complex business requirements into robust, high-performance digital solutions.
In this role, you'll work closely with product managers and government leadership to understand mission goals and user requirements. On an agile team, you'll design and deliver large-scale digital experiences that are as intuitive as they are visually refined.
Help our clients meet their mission by supporting national security and empowering government teams with accessible, secure applications.
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have:

• 3+ years of experience with an OOP language
• Experience performing Linux server maintenance, patching, configuration management, or system hardening
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining production-grade AWS environments
• Experience developing web apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience with SQL and an RDBMS such as MySQL
• TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with PHP
• Experience developing websites using the Joomla CMS
• Ability to collaborate with government leadership to refine requirements, translate mission needs into UX-focused solutions, and influence design-centered decisions
• Bachelor's degree in CS, UX, Design, or a related field
• UX/UI, Accessibility, or Front-End Development Certifications
