Description

We're looking for a Senior Drupal Developer to join our team to build a new Drupal-based CMS platform for schools. You'll be working to make the lives of teachers/parents/students easier, while at the same time keeping students safe. The product you're building will be deployed to initially hundreds, and eventually thousands of school sites. This is a long-term product (years) with short term milestones (months).

This is a perfect position for someone who knows how to work fast and smart. You know where the rabbit holes are and you’re good about avoiding them early on. You know which details make all the difference, and which ones don’t make any difference. You know the difference between spending time wisely and wasting time.

This is a Full-Time, remote (work from home), W2/employee position, with great benefits (Health Insurance, PTO, Matching IRA, etc).

Gaggle.net's Core Values
Before we get to the technical requirements of the job, let's make sure Gaggle is an environment you're going to enjoy and be successful. We have a number of core value that we use to guide how we work together, and how we grow as a company. These aren't motivational poster gimmicks. They're recurring themes that have worked for us as we've grown as a company and we keep them in our minds during those times when we tackle the big challenges:

Innovation over Perfection - We've always been a company that has pushed hard to come up with new solutions to problems even at the risk of getting it wrong. We make mistakes, but that's ok. Our drive to innovation is a strength of Gaggle, but it also leads to some real challenges and even outright problems. We need to know and understand this about ourselves; celebrate it and at times compensate for it.
Hire Exceptional People (and let them do their job) - Working with great people is a powerful motivator. It makes us better when we are challenged by great coworkers. On the other hand, working with someone who doesn't carry their weight drags everyone down. Let's never settle!
Work Hard; Make it Better - If you see something that is not right, roll up your sleeves and pitch in to find a solution.
