- Develop custom services, batch jobs, and queue workers for scalability.
- Use DDEV locally and manage production on Acquia (including Site Factory).
- Design and maintain data fetching from headless CMS (Drupal GraphQL, persisted queries) and other backends.

- Implement and maintain integrations with external APIs and internal microservices.

- Ensure API routes, secrets, and tokens follow security best practices.
- Work within existing CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines) to keep backend and CMS-related jobs reliable.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of backend or full-stack development with a strong focus on server-side and APIs.
- Next.js experience with App Router, Server Components, Route Handlers, and caching/revalidation.
- Experience with headless CMS platforms, especially Drupal and Drupal GraphQL (e.g., graphql_compose).
- TypeScript expertise, including designing and maintaining types for APIs, GraphQL, and server-side code.
- Experience with REST and GraphQL; familiarity with persisted queries and cache tagging a plus.
- Experience integrating with third-party or internal services (OAuth2, webhooks, server-to-server).
- Proven ability to improve performance, reliability, and error handling in server-side systems.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate closely with Technical Lead and front-end developers.
- Strongly Preferred:
- Drupal/PHP experience (custom modules, hooks, configuration, GraphQL schema extensions).
- Familiarity with Acquia and/or DDEV.
- Experience working in monorepos (Turborepo, Nx, or similar).
- Understanding of i18n, including multi-locale routing and server-side locale handling.
- Familiarity with Algolia, NextAuth, or Vercel deployment and preview workflows.
- Basic experience with GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines.
