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.

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. 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. 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. 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). 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.
