Description



At MetaPhase, we believe Quirky is Cool and being authentic is the only way to be!  We take the work we do very seriously and do a lot of important mission-focused work for our clients. We are individuals with different passions and strengths who take as much joy in the work we do as from those we work with. Today, we have a team that is invested in creating new solutions that lean forward, challenge the status quo, but also reflect our intimate knowledge of our customers’ business. Over the years we have fostered a culture in which we are united by shared values—passion, solidarity, generosity, curiosity, and boldness—and these come alive in the work we do and how we do it.     
   
Together, we know our people are our difference—for our clients and our colleagues.  
   
Are you ready to:

MetaPhase is seeking a Junior Back-End Drupal Developer with foundational experience in server-side web development to join our cross-functional Agile team. In this role, you will support the creation, enhancement, and integration of back-end Drupal functionality, APIs, and data workflows that power a mission-critical federal program. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career developer eager to grow their skills and deliver meaningful results in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. 
 
What You Will Be Doing: 
  • Develop and maintain custom Drupal 9/10 modules, hooks, and services to support application functionality. 
  • Build and integrate RESTful APIs and data services to connect Drupal with backend systems and external applications. 
  • Configure and optimize Drupal’s backend architecture for scalability, security, and performance. 
  • Implement and maintain database structures, queries, and migrations (MySQL/PostgreSQL). 
  • Collaborate with front-end developers to ensure seamless integration between UI components and backend functionality. 
  • Ensure compliance with federal security (NIST/FISMA) and accessibility (Section 508/WCAG) requirements. 
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives. 
  • Assist with troubleshooting, debugging, and resolving backend performance issues. 
  • Maintain technical documentation for modules, integrations, and configuration changes. 

What We Need From You (Required):  

  • 0–2+ years of experience in back-end web development. 
  • Experience with Drupal module development and PHP programming. 
  • Understanding of Drupal’s API architecture, entity system, and configuration management. 
  • Experience with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. 
  • Familiarity with REST API design and integration. 
  • Comfort with Git-based version control workflows. 
  • Ability to work in a collaborative Agile environment. 
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. 

Bonus Points (Desired):

  • Familiarity with Drupal 9/10 configuration management and Composer. 
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks for backend code. 
  • Exposure to cloud environments (AWS or Azure). 
  • Understanding of caching strategies and performance optimization. 
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as CircleCI, Jenkins, BitBucket, or Azure DevOps. 
  • Basic knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to support integration work. 
Work Setup:  
  • Remote 
Clearance & Education: 
  • Must be eligible for Public Trust. 
  • High School Diploma

Compensation: 

Compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range for this role in the U.S. is $55k - $63k.
