Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, Drupal

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

We're seeking a talented Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to an exciting website modernization project for the Department of Commerce. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a modern, user-friendly, and accessible digital experience that helps businesses navigate tricky regulations. You'll be a key player in developing a headless Drupal website, with a focus on creating a seamless frontend experience using Next.js and React.

While you'll be working across the full stack, your sweet spot will be on the frontend, bringing designs to life and ensuring a high-quality user experience. You'll also have the opportunity to work with Drupal as a headless CMS, so some experience in that area is a plus.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
• Optimize user-facing tools and search functions for maximum speed and scalability.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Effectively communicate and collaborate with team members, stakeholders, and government partners to understand requirements and deliver solutions.

You Bring

• A humble and caring attitude aligning with For People’s values – how we work with passion, fun, curiosity, sustainability, humility, and respect
• Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly React and Next.js.
• Experience with Drupal, preferably in a headless or decoupled architecture.
