Interpersonal Frequency (I.F.) is seeking a full-time Lead
Drupal Engineer to add to our awesome and growing Engineering team.
At I.F., we’re
putting the government in the cloud. We build, maintain, and grow sites on our
open web stack for some of the largest cities, public libraries, and government
agencies in the country. We also created a suite of proprietary analytics tools that survey 3.4 million Americans
each day. We are bringing in new clients faster than our team can handle, and
are looking for a Lead Drupal Architect to help manage our Engineering team,
and dream up and build cutting-edge, open sourced websites for our clients.
I.F. is a
profitable, 6 year-old company with team members in Seattle, Brooklyn, Texas
and the DC area. We provide a remote work environment, you don’t need to move
for this job, but you’re welcome to join any of our offices if you choose, or
happen to live in the area.
Working remotely means we are able to bring together some of the best minds in the country. Between video calls and Slack, the distance evaporates quickly, and ideas, projects and puns fly at the speed of light. Working remotely also allows us to find harmony in work / life balance. You can be home when you need and in the office when you need, but we’ll all be online making the internet more beautiful, geeking out on the very latest tech, and making government more accessible and accountable.
Who you are
You have 5+
years of Drupal development under your belt, or a BS in Computer Science or a
related field. You're a master of all things Drupal, comfortable with both
theming and backend work. You are flexible, agile and have passion for working
with other engineers and Project Managers to architect sites used by millions
of people each day. You have a good mixture of planning, risk taking and a
“get-it-done” attitude. You value the open source community and want to give back
to it. You can clearly explain your ideas to clients and other team members
both verbally and in writing. Most of all, you’re not a jerk: you like to have
fun and work with a small team! You play well with others (not just engineers),
and aren’t afraid to ask smart questions.
What you’ll do
You will work
with our CTO, Project Managers, Designers and DevOps team and will help manage
our Engineering team for a myriad of different sites. You will be taking the
lead on our biggest projects and challenges, and mentoring other Drupal
engineers along the way. You will be identifying key issues, scoping features,
providing work estimates, assigning development resources and keeping the
project’s big picture in mind. The implementation side of things will include:
diving into new sites, mapping current and legacy infrastructures, integrating
third-party data sources, architecting best practices, search integration,
building custom modules, and optimizing overall performance. This is a fun,
fast paced job, and no two days will be the same.
