Job Location: Westerville OH (Onsite)

Description:

AgreeYa is a global Systems Integrator and is seeking an experienced, Front-End Engineer (Drupal) to join our growing team. Join our dynamic team as a Front-End Engineer (Drupal) where you will be the go-to technical resource driving the reliability, performance and security of enterprise-scale networks and cloud environments. You'll troubleshoot complex issues, lead system upgrades, perform proactive health checks and collaborate closely with infrastructure, security and operations teams to keep mission-critical systems running smoothly

Role Summary
Seeking a Front-End Engineer with proven experience delivering WordPress-to-Drupal migrations, including rebuilding themes, translating legacy CMS capabilities, and modernizing front-end experiences within Drupal. This role focuses on creating scalable, high-quality UI components while ensuring continuity of functionality, performance, accessibility, and user experience throughout the migration.

While this is primarily a front-end role, the ideal candidate is a well-rounded Drupal expert who understands modern Drupal best practices (Drupal 9/10+), can collaborate effectively with backend teams, and has enough backend familiarity to safely implement or adjust Drupal-side integrations when needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement responsive, accessible UI components within Drupal
• Rebuild and modernize WordPress themes into Drupal-based front-end architecture
• Translate business and UX requirements into clean, maintainable front-end code
• Integrate front-end components with Drupal modules and external services
• Support content migration efforts by ensuring front-end rendering aligns with mapped content structures
• Optimize for performance, SEO, and cross-browser compatibility
• Collaborate with UX, Marketing, and backend teams to ensure consistent user experience and brand alignment
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and release cycles
• Contribute to building reusable components and scalable design patterns for future enhancements

Additional Responsibilities (Enterprise / Drupal Maturity)

• Build components that support governance, approval workflows, revision tracking, and auditability
• Follow secure development practices appropriate for regulated environments
• Partner with platform and security teams to align front-end implementations with enterprise security standards
• Ensure implementations are maintainable, upgrade-safe, and aligned to Drupal best practices

Required Qualifications / Ideal Profile
Front-End Expertise

• Demonstrated experience in WordPress-to-Drupal (or similar CMS-to-CMS) migrations
• Strong proficiency in modern front-end development practices (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, component-based architecture)
• Strong experience working within Drupal theming (Twig templating, theme layer concepts, template debugging)
• Familiarity with SEO best practices, accessibility standards (WCAG/ARIA), and performance optimization
• Ability to work within structured, enterprise delivery models with governance and security considerations
• Strong collaboration skills across design, business, and engineering teams

Modern Drupal Best Practices

• Working knowledge of modern Drupal approaches such as:
• Component-driven theming and reusable UI patterns
• Layout-based content construction and structured component usage
• Configuration management concepts (config vs content, environnement portability)
• Ability to align implementations with Drupal conventions and avoid anti-patterns that create upgrade risk

Security & Regulatory Experience

• Solid understanding of web security best practices relevant to front-end development:
  • XSS prevention
  • Secure templating practices
  • Safe handling of third-party scripts
  • Dependency/security awareness
• Experience working in a regulated environment (financial services, healthcare, government, etc.) preferred
• Comfortable working within processes that require:
  • Change control and approvals
  • Auditability and traceability
  • Security validation and review cycles

Backend Awareness (Not a Backend Role)

• Ability to hand-code simple backend-adjacent changes when needed, including:
  • Basic PHP/Drupal adjustments (preprocess functions, template variables)
  • Understanding of when code belongs in a theme vs a module
  • Proper organization of files and directories following Drupal standards
• Familiarity with:
  • Composer-based workflows (basic understanding)
  • Drupal structure (modules, themes, config, services at a high level)
• Ability to collaborate effectively with backend engineers and avoid introducing anti-patterns

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience with design systems and reusable component libraries
• Familiarity with modern front-end build tooling (Webpack, Vite, npm)
• Exposure to automated testing (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, accessibility testing tools)
• Experience supporting content authoring workflows and improving editor usability
• Experience working in environments with frequent security updates or rapid patch cycles, and engineering teams
