The Drupal Expert/Creative Technologist at Purpose will be responsible for website and software development for anywhere from 1-3 projects and will also play an over-arching role of management of the technology department (junior developers) and interacting with the movement strategy and user experience teams. We are specifically interested in someone who is comfortable with the entire cycle of web development, from configuring servers, writing SQL, and developing Drupal modules to coding CSS/HTML and debugging cross-browser issues - you might be called a jack-of-all-trades with a specific penchant for Drupal/PHP.
Core Responsibilities:
Direct and manage development for custom functionality and design on given campaigning tools and platforms (Drupal).
Assist in defining project scope, goals and deliverables.
Delegate tasks and responsibilities to appropriate staff.
Proactively manage changes in project scope, identify potential crises, and devise contingency plans.
Create development best practices and tools for project execution.
Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree or higher in Technology/Computer Science/Website Development or related field.
Minimum 3 years work as a developer, Project Lead, or CTO.
Expert knowledge of PHP, MySQL, CSS, and the LAMP stack (If you love Ruby on Rails, that helps too).
Extensive experience with Drupal development (You should already have some module development under your belt).
Curious (but cautious) about emerging technologies and not set in command-line ways.
Work well with others and thrive in a small office setting that is fast moving and nimble, but not heavy on structure or hierarchy.
Patience (see above).
Preferred:
Javascript, specifically jQuery (and an expert at Firebug or similar)
Systems Administration, Debian/Redhat/*nix.
Entrepreneurial or Startup experience.
Agency experience.
A love for Apple/Mac.
Demonstrated interest in progressive politics or causes or just a passion for social change.
Experience using popular social media tools (and creating innovative new ways to interact with them)
Other Responsibilities:
Work with the CEO and other members of the senior management team to refine Purpose's technology offering and its role within the business.
Develop and manage technical project budgets as needed
Set and continually manage project expectations with team members and other stakeholders.
Recruit and cultivate talented developers on our full-time and contract staff
If you're interested in finding out more, please send your CV and brief cover note with Drupal Expert in the subject line, as well as three URL's of sites you have worked on, with a description of your specific role in developing the site to jobs@purpose.com.
Pay will be competitive and based on experience. We have a strong preference for candidates based in New York City or willing to relocate, but if you think you might be a strong fit, we'd like to hear from you anyway.![]()
