Position Title: Mid-Level to Senior Full-stack
Location: Remote - Colombia
What you will be doing:
We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer who specializes in Decoupled (Headless) Drupal architectures. In this role, you will bridge the gap between enterprise-grade content management and modern, interactive user interfaces. You will be responsible for architecting and maintaining a Drupal 10+ backend that serves data via GraphQL to a high-performance React frontend. You are not just a theme builder; you are an architect who understands how to expose structured content as a clean API and consume it efficiently on the client side. Your responsibilities will include:
- Decoupled Architecture: Lead the design and implementation of a headless architecture, using Drupal solely as a content repository and React as the presentation layer.
- Drupal Backend Development: Develop custom Drupal modules (PHP) and configure core APIs to expose entities, paragraphs, and menus efficiently. Manage configuration (CMI) and database updates.
- React Frontend Engineering: Build reusable, responsive, and accessible UI components using React.js (Functional Components & Hooks).
- GraphQL Integration: Design and optimize the data layer. You will write complex GraphQL schemas and queries to fetch exactly the data needed for the frontend, preventing over-fetching and under-fetching.
- Performance Optimization: Implement caching strategies at multiple layers (Drupal render cache, Varnish/CDN, and Apollo Client cache).
- Quality Assurance: Write Unit tests for PHP (PHPUnit) and Frontend tests (Jest/Testing Library). Ensure type safety where possible (TypeScript).
-
Mentorship: Guide the team on best practices for decoupled workflows and conduct code reviews for both PHP and JavaScript codebases.
Requirements & Qualifications
To excel in this role, you should possess:
- Expert Level: 5+ years with Drupal 9/10.
- Custom Development: Strong proficiency in Object-Oriented PHP and Symfony components. Ability to write custom modules, services, and plugins.
- Headless Config: Experience configuring the GraphQL module (drupal/graphql) v4 or v3 to expose custom schemas and resolve fields.
- Modern React: 4+ years of professional experience. Mastery of Hooks, Context API, and component lifecycle.
- Data Fetching: Deep experience using Apollo Client or TanStack Query to manage server state and caching.
- State Management: Ability to manage complex application state.
- Next.js (Bonus): Experience with Next.js for Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Static Site Generation (SSG) is highly desirable.
- Query Composition: Ability to write complex queries using Fragments to reuse logic across components.
-
Schema Design: Understanding of how to design a graph that represents the content model intuitively.
