Ware, Hertfordshire - Up to 35k DOE - Hybrid, Permanent
Our colony is expanding! We're a small digital agency that strives to excel in exceptional user-centred design and web application development within the membership, charity and not-for-profit sectors.
Since launching in 2018, we continue to grow and due to a busy period of winning new clients, we are now looking to expand our technical team with a new PHP developer.
Our technical team excels in open source development such as Drupal, WordPress and Craft but we are always adapting and build solutions that use a wide range of technologies.
Personality and team fit are as important as the technical ability for this role. The successful candidate should definitely be a self-starter, ambitious, and motivated to be successful.
Your New Role
As our Mid-weight Drupal Developer, you're the fire and ice behind our most dynamic projects. With a gentle mix of technical expertise and creativity, you'll be the lynchpin in translating our creative goals into digital magic.
Note: This is a Hybrid role and will require a mix of both days in the office and remote. We're flexible around which days.
Your Day-to-Day
- Collaborate with our team of designers, developers, and digital experts to create responsive and intuitive Drupal websites.
- Dive deep into code, ensuring our projects are built on solid, scalable, and sustainable foundations.
- Migrate, integrate and develop custom modules
- Stay updated on the latest trends and tools in Drupal development, keeping our skills razor-sharp and our projects state-of-the-art.
- Troubleshoot like a pro, ensuring our platforms run as smoothly as a penguin's slide down an icy slope.

- Solid knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and related technologies.
- Solid GIT experience
- Familiarity with Symfony framework
- Previous work with APIs, third-party integrations, and Drupal distributions.
- A proactive approach to problem-solving, a love for challenges, and an eye for detail.
- Ability to juggle multiple projects while maintaining a smile and a quirky sense of humour.
- Comfortable working full stack when required (these disciplines are usually split within the team anyway).
A bonus if:
- You are Acquia certified
- Have good knowledge and experience of SOLR
- You hold a Software Engineering, Computer Science Degree, or a relevant apprenticeship qualification.
What's in it for You?
- Competitive salary and room for growth.
- A chance to be part of innovative projects with a broad and diverse clientele.
- Regular team activities, including not-so-secret penguin dance-offs.
- Relaxed and fun culture
- Flexible, Hybrid way of working
