Drupal Back-end Developer
Your Mission
As a Drupal back-end developer at Upthrust, you translate digital strategies and designs into working products and real-life digital experiences. You’ll build stunning and high-performing websites, mobile applications and eCommerce platforms that deliver a great experience and convert.
Together with the studio team, you will play a crucial role in the ambitious digital product studio projects we execute for our clients.
Your challenges:
- You will work with the content management framework Drupal 8 or 9.
- You will set up and configure sites using one of those frameworks. If needed, you will set up a basic site from scratch, take care of both site building, development and potentially even jump in on the DevOps side.
- You will establish API connections with other systems such as CRM, Marketing Automation and Product Information Management systems. When something does not work out of the box, you will use your PHP skills to come up with custom solutions and provide the missing piece.
- You will convert beautiful designs into structured code.
- You will proactively take part in the Scrum / Agile routines (stand-ups, retrospectives, sprint reviews).
- You will provide recommendations and improvement areas to continuously improve our way of working from a quality, effectivity and team satisfaction point of view.
Who You Are
- You have experience with the Drupal 8 or 9 framework, and/or have solid knowledge of PHP frameworks such as Symfony and Laravel.
- You like being part of a team, and have experience working in an Agile setting using Scrum, Kanban or similar processes. You know what React & Angular are, and you are proficient with HTML and CSS.
- Decoupled websites do not scare you.
- You have an eye for detail, take ownership of your work and strive for quality.
- You can engage with our clients in fluent English when needed. Dutch is a plus!
- And even better if you have experience in DevOps, hosting, continuous integration, AWS and/or Azure!
There’s a DNA match if this sounds like you:
- Be bold. Be brave. Be you.
