IXP - Drupal Full Stack Developer (Costa Rica candidates)

This position is only for candidates located in Costa Rica and that qualify for IXP.

Are you curious about Drupal and eager to learn how to build the sites adhering to The Drupal Way?

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow within the Drupal ecosystem — learning best practices, contributing to real projects, and becoming part of a global open-source community.
 

About the Role

This is a learning-by-doing position under the Drupal IXP Program.

You’ll start by assisting with maintenance tasks — updating modules, testing patches, improving configurations, and fixing small issues — all under the guidance of experienced Drupal developers.

As you gain confidence and understanding of the Drupal way, you’ll gradually move into more complex projects: building custom modules, working with APIs, and shaping complete site features.

While the IXP mentions 160 hours of work (a full month) we intend this to be at least a 6 month contract with possibilities of extension.
 

What You’ll Do

• Support ongoing Drupal site maintenance (updates, debugging, and testing)

• Learn Drupal best practices in real-world environments

• Collaborate with mentors to plan and execute small development tasks

• Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions

• Contribute to improving documentation and internal processes

What You’ll Learn

• Drupal architecture, site building, and module development

• Theming and front-end integration

• Git workflows and deployment processes

• Working with Drupal’s API and modern PHP development practices

• How open-source collaboration works — from issue queues to community contributions

What We’re Looking For

• A foundation in HTML, CSS and programming (either PHP or JavaScript,ideally both).

• Curiosity, responsibility, and willingness to learn continuously

• Basic understanding of CMSs (any CMS experience is a plus!)

• Good communication and teamwork skills

• A genuine interest in becoming part of the Drupal community

• English knowledge is important, but not exclusive. The basic is reading capabilities. Spoken is a plus!

Why Join

• You’ll receive mentorship and hands-on training directly from experienced Drupal developers.

• You’ll be part of something bigger — the open-source community that powers some of the world’s largest websites.

• You’ll grow your skills and career through real-world experience, not just tutorials.
