Skill Level: Senior Level

Job Type: Full-time (Fully remote)

Common Sense Media is currently seeking an experienced Senior Developer to operate as a full-stack engineer and join a team of developers, QA engineers, product managers, and UX designers who work closely with UI designers led by a creative director. This role will help build and maintain all things client-facing and will help translate organizational and customer needs into functionally seamless, and appealing, interactive applications. Creating a great user experience is a focal point of this role, and the ideal candidate is curious about new digital technologies and stays abreast of coding best practices, but there are also likely to be back-end tasks and problems to solve. This role will collaborate with a top-notch team of developers on a feature-rich, responsive site and help build personalized and social site experiences to connect members with each other and the rest of the world. This role reports to the Chief Product & Technology Officer.

Job Responsibilities:

You'll be issued a Mac laptop for local development (you may use Linux as well), use GitHub for version control, and work using a Docker instance that emulates servers hosted with Pantheon. Common Sense Media primarily codes to Drupal standards and strive toward industry best practices; however, the latest API-driven methodologies are also used embraced by Drupal 9 and frameworks such as React. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the product you're working on and have your voice heard.

You will be working on high-traffic websites that get millions of users a month, including:

Common Sense Media (www.commonsensemedia.org): The platform that hosts reviews, advice, and more for parents and caregivers.
Common Sense Education (www.commonsense.org/education): Designed to help pre-K–12 educators discover, use, and share the best apps, games, websites, and digital curricula for their students. Also contains classroom teaching materials, professional development, and teaching resources for educators and school administrators.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience.
Demonstrated proficiency writing standards-compliant HTML5 and CSS3.
Proficiency with JavaScript in a cross-browser, cross-device environment (both jQuery and vanilla JS).
Understanding of current front-end and mobile development best practices, including responsive design, touch interfaces, performance optimization, and progressive enhancement.
Experience working with source control with Git.
Experience working in a LAMP stack with PHP skills.

The X Factor:

Experience developing in Drupal 7 or 8 with custom modules and themes for Drupal; Drupal 9 experience is a plus (we are launching Drupal 9 versions of our sites in the coming months).
Experience with TDD (test-driven development).
Two or more years of experience with JavaScript development. Knowledge of React.js or Angular is a plus.
Experience working in an agile environment.
Knowledge of accessibility best practices.
Experience using CSS preprocessors such as LESS, SASS, and/or Compass.
Experience with mobile-first responsive design, leveraging atomic design with our in-house Common Kit.
Energetic, enthusiastic, disciplined, hardworking, and a total team player. Communicating effectively with cross-functional teams and writing clear documentation.
Organized and able to work on multiple projects with overlapping deadlines.
Deeply inspired by the Common Sense mission to help kids and families.
Able to work autonomously and not afraid to share your opinion when discussing technical approaches. Willing to learn new tools and approaches to complex problems.
