Your focus will be predominantly on either backend or frontend development but the versatility to support the full-stack would be a plus.

Producing high-quality solutions that help clients achieve their goals.

Participating in briefing sessions, contributing to writing technical specifications and estimates.

Continuous development of your area of expertise (JS and/or PHP).

Assisting and contributing to projects being led by Senior Developers and Technical Leads.

Strong teamwork and communication skills.

Desirable qualifications and skills

Drupal 8, Acquia or JS/PHP certification.

Experience with Git for version control.

Broader experience (or the desire) of working with frameworks such as React, Gatsby, or Larvel.
