About the Drupal Full Stack Developer Role at Perform

We are seeking a skilled Drupal Full Stack Developer with strong React and Node.js experience to design, build, and maintain modern web experiences on our platform. In this role, you will work within an agile product team to implement front-end features, integrate with backend services, and contribute to the architecture and delivery of scalable, secure web applications.

You will collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and cross-functional engineering teams to translate requirements into technical solutions, deliver production-ready code, and support ongoing maintenance and improvements.

Please note: Drupal is 80% of this job, while React and Node.js constitute the remaining 20%.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain Drupal-based websites and applications, including custom modules, themes, and distributions.
• Build responsive, accessible user interfaces using React and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Implement backend services and APIs with Node.js (Express or similar frameworks) to support front-end features.
• Integrate Drupal with headless/decoupled frontends, external APIs, and third-party services.
• Write well-tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews and pair programming.
• Collaborate on architecture and design decisions to ensure scalability, performance, and security.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and deployment processes for web applications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities.
• Contribute to documentation, developer tooling, and onboarding materials.
• Work within an Agile/Scrum environment, estimating work, participating in sprint ceremonies, and communicating progress to stakeholders.

How You’ll Succeed

• Deliver stable, high-performance Drupal sites and decoupled frontends that meet product and accessibility requirements.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that other engineers can build upon.
• Maintain strong security practices across the stack and proactively address vulnerabilities.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical partners.
• Collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams to deliver value quickly and iteratively.

Who You Are

• 3+ years of professional experience working with Drupal (site building, module development, theming, and configuration management).
• 3+ years of experience with React and modern front-end toolchains (Webpack, Babel, npm/yarn).
• 3+ years of experience building backend services with Node.js and frameworks such as Express.
• Solid understanding of headless (decoupled) CMS architectures and experience integrating Drupal as a content source.
• Proficient with HTML, CSS/Sass, and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
• Experience with APIs (RESTful and GraphQL), authentication/authorization, and data modeling.
• Familiarity with containerization and cloud-native deployment patterns (Docker, Kubernetes, or similar).
• Experience using Git and collaborative development workflows (GitHub, GitLab, or similar).
• Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum teams and estimating work.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Drupal 8/9/10 and familiarity with Symfony components.
• Experience with server-side rendering frameworks (Next.js, Remix) or static site generation integrated with Drupal.
