Must have
8-10+ years of Drupal/PHP experience, including recent experience architecting enterprise Drupal applications (Drupal 10/11), not just brochure sites. Look for custom module architecture, complex workflows, role-based access, and API and integration design.
Major Drupal upgrades or migrations, such as Drupal 7 to 10 or replatforming.
Database architecture for large Drupal applications: MySQL or PostgreSQL on RDS, performance tuning, and data modeling.
Hands-on AWS experience running Drupal in production: EKS or Kubernetes, EC2, RDS, and VPC, with containerized PHP using Docker, ideally on Alpine.
CI/CD for Drupal: Jenkins or GitHub pipelines, Composer and Drush-based deployments, configuration management in Git, and zero-downtime releases.
Federal security experience: FISMA, NIST 800-53, ATO support, and handling PII or PHI.
