Complete Description:
Employment Type: Contract w2/1099/C2C
Employment Type: Contract w2/1099/C2C
Scope of Work
- Design, develop, and maintain Drupal-based websites supporting DC.gov and District agency platforms.
- Build and customize Drupal modules, themes, content types, taxonomies, and views per agency requirements.
- Perform Drupal core and contributed module updates, security patches, and version migrations (e.g., Drupal 7 to Drupal 10/11).
- Integrate Drupal sites with enterprise systems, APIs, and third-party services.
- Ensure deliverables comply with Section 508, WCAG 2.1 AA, and District web standards.
- Apply web security best practices consistent with Client and federal cybersecurity guidelines.
- Collaborate with Client project managers, UX designers, content strategists, and agency stakeholders.
- Produce technical documentation, code comments, and operational runbooks.
- Provide Tier 3 production support and participate in deployment activities, including occasional after-hours work.
Required Technical Skills
HTML & Markup
- Strong command of semantic HTML5: sectioning elements, headings hierarchy, lists, tables, and forms.
- Solid grasp of web accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA): ARIA roles and attributes, keyboard navigation, focus management, alt text, and accessible form labeling.
- Familiarity with structured data and SEO markup: meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and Schema.org/JSON-LD.
- Understanding of how Drupal renders markup through Twig, and the ability to produce clean, valid output via template overrides.
CSS & Styling
- Deep working knowledge of modern CSS layout: Flexbox and CSS Grid, with sound judgment about when to use each.
- Proficiency with responsive design: media queries, fluid typography, container queries, and mobile-first methodology.
- Command of the cascade, specificity, and inheritance, with the ability to debug specificity conflicts rather than reaching for important
- Comfort with CSS custom properties (variables), modern color/spacing tokens, and maintainable theming patterns.
- Awareness of cross-browser compatibility, vendor prefixing strategy, and progressive enhancement.
Nice to Have
- Strong SCSS/SASS skills: nesting, mixins, functions, partials, and a disciplined file architecture.
- A consistent CSS methodology such as BEM, and an understanding of how it maps onto Drupal's class conventions.
- Familiarity with CSS transitions, transforms, and animations, used with attention to performance and reduced-motion preferences.
JavaScript
- Solid command of modern JavaScript (ES6+): arrow functions, destructuring, modules, promises, and async/await.
- Strong DOM manipulation and event-handling skills, including event delegation and performance-conscious listeners.
- Fluency with the Fetch API and asynchronous data handling, including JSON parsing and error handling.
- Working knowledge of Drupal's JavaScript layer: Drupal.behaviors, once(), drupalSettings, and the AJAX framework
- Understanding of how to attach and scope JS correctly through the Libraries API rather than inline scripts.
- Familiarity with debugging via browser DevTools: breakpoints, the network panel, performance profiling, and the console.
Nice to Have
- Awareness of frontend performance: deferring/async loading, minimizing reflows, debouncing/throttling, and avoiding render-blocking scripts.
- Experience with a build/tooling pipeline (Webpack, Vite, or Gulp) and with linting/formatting (ESLint, Prettier, Stylelint).
- Exposure to a modern framework (React/Vue) is a plus, particularly for decoupled or partially decoupled Drupal frontends.
Drupal
Site Administration & Configuration Management
- Fluency with the Drupal 9/10/11 admin UI: content types, fields, vocabularies, view modes, form/display modes, blocks, menus, URL aliases, and redirects.
- Solid command of Configuration Management workflows: config export/import, config_split for environment-specific config, config_ignore for protected config.
- Strong grasp of user access control: roles, permissions, content moderation workflows, and custom workflow states/transitions.
- Demonstrated expertise with Views: complex queries, contextual filters, relationships, exposed filters/sorts, output rewriting, and REST exports.
- Experience administering the Media Library, image styles, responsive image styles, and crop/focal-point strategies.
- A clear mental model of what belongs in config vs. content vs. state vs. settings.php.
Theming & Frontend
- Strong Twig skills: template suggestions, template preprocessing, and theme hook implementations.
- Comfort with the Libraries API: defining JS/CSS, managing dependencies, and conditional loading.
- Experience with modern base themes (Olivero/Stable9) and component-based theming.
- Familiarity with Single Directory Components (SDC) for Drupal 10.3+.
- Solid responsive design fundamentals, a disciplined CSS methodology (e.g., BEM), and SCSS/SASS proficiency.
Multi-Domain / Multi-Site (Nice to Have)
- Hands-on experience with the Domain Access module: domain entities, domain access fields on content/users/blocks, and current-domain negotiation.
- Practical command of the Domain Config module, including domain-specific config overrides and override precedence (settings.php > Domain Config UI > base config)
- A clear understanding of how config overrides cascade, and why programmatic overrides in settings.php will silently take precedence over UI changes
- Familiarity with cache contexts and invalidation in a multi-domain context.
- Experience with domain-aware menu, block, and pathauto strategies, and with cross-domain content sharing vs. domain-restricted content patterns
Security
- Disciplined input sanitization and output escaping (XSS, HTML, URL filters; Twig autoescaping).
- A reflexive habit of using placeholders to prevent SQL injection and applying access checks on entity queries.
- Working knowledge of file-upload security, CSRF tokens, and trusted host patterns.
- Experience conducting permission audits and reviewing for privilege escalation.
DevOps, Deployment & Tooling
- Understanding of Git workflows: feature branches, rebase vs. merge, conflict resolution, and hotfix patterns.
- Strong Drush proficiency, including cache rebuilds, config import/export, user management.
- Competence with Composer for project scaffolding, patching, and autoloader generation.
- Experience with a local development environment, ideally Lando (DDEV/Docksal also welcome).
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (BLT, GitHub Actions, or Acquia Pipelines).
- Hands-on Acquia Cloud experience: environments, Cloud Hooks, code/database/files workflow, and Acquia CLI.
- Comfort with multi-database configuration and routing.
Integration & Standards (Nice to Have)
- Experience building and consuming REST APIs: JSON:API, the REST module, and custom REST resources.
- Experience with common third-party integrations: analytics and marketing automation.
Working Style & Collaboration
- The ability to write technical documentation that a non-developer content editor can follow.
- A methodical diagnostic approach — able to walk through debugging complex issues without guesswork.
- Good code-review hygiene: readable commits, descriptive PRs, and openness to feedback.
- Adherence to Drupal community coding standards (PHPCS with the Drupal and Drupal Practice rulesets).

Tips for Your Drupal Developer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the stack
List the specific Drupal version you know most deeply alongside the PHP, Twig, Composer, and Git experience from each role. Recruiters scanning drupal developer resumes filter fast, so matching your listed tools to the job posting's exact language gets you past the first cut.
Show contributed module work publicly
Hiring managers for drupal developer roles check Drupal.org contributor pages as a credibility signal. If you've filed issues, submitted patches, or maintained even a small module, link your Drupal.org profile on your resume and cover letter so that work is visible.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists drupal developer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter for the correct Drupal version
Many postings still specify Drupal 7 for legacy maintenance contracts, while newer builds require Drupal 10. Applying without confirming the version wastes time. Check the job description for version numbers before you tailor your materials to avoid mismatches at the screening call.
Prepare a live Drupal site for interviews
A code challenge or portfolio review is standard in drupal developer interviews. Walk into technical screens with a publicly accessible site or sandbox environment that shows custom theming, a content type you built, and any Views or custom module configuration you can speak to in detail.
Negotiate scope before accepting the offer
Drupal developer roles vary widely between pure maintenance contracts, greenfield builds, and decoupled front-end work. Ask directly during the offer stage which type makes up the majority of the workload so you can assess whether the role matches your growth goals before you sign.
Drupal Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most drupal developers?
The companies hiring the most drupal developers right now include AHU Technologies, Infojini, and Digital United, with the largest share of openings in Maryland, District of Columbia, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Government contractors, digital agencies, and higher education institutions consistently account for a large portion of active drupal developer demand.
How many drupal developer jobs are remote?
About 57% of drupal developer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting strong demand for distributed talent in the field. Roles focused on decoupled Drupal, API development, and site maintenance tend to be the most remote-friendly, while large-scale government or enterprise implementations more often require some on-site presence.
How do you become a drupal developer?
Start by learning PHP and then working through Drupal's official documentation and training resources to understand content types, Views, theming with Twig, and the module system. Build a few practice sites to solidify those skills, contribute to the Drupal.org community by filing issues or patches, and document your work publicly so hiring managers can evaluate your hands-on experience directly.
Can you get a drupal developer job with little or no professional experience?
Yes, entry-level drupal developer roles exist, particularly at digital agencies and nonprofits that value demonstrated ability over years of employment. Build a portfolio of real Drupal sites, complete free training on Drupal.org, and target postings that list junior or associate titles. A visible Drupal.org contributor profile or a GitHub repository with documented Drupal projects can substitute for formal work history in early applications.
What does the drupal developer interview process look like?
Most drupal developer hiring processes move through a recruiter or hiring manager screen, a technical assessment that may include a code challenge or live site audit, and a final interview with the development team. Technical rounds typically test PHP and Drupal-specific knowledge, your approach to debugging, and how you handle configuration management. Having a working code sample or portfolio site ready before any technical stage is strongly advisable.
Where can I find and apply to drupal developer jobs?
You can find and apply to drupal developer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each position that fits. No separate sign-up step is required before applying.
