At GDIT, we foster a people-centric environment. We are looking for a developer with strong front-end skills to support a client's internet initiative.

The best candidate has a strong understanding of industry trends and using agile methodologies for development and deployment processes that can be used in Drupal-based systems. Some back-end knowledge is preferred, especially micro services.
The candidate will be responsible for working across the software life cycle, with an emphasis on design and development. The ideal candidate, while focused on front-end development would also be able to contribute as developer to other parts of the application and testing stack.

In this role, a typical day will include:
* Write clean, maintainable, testable, and extensible code using platform and industry standards using JavaScript HTML, CSS, and frameworks such as React, Foundation, Ozone, jQuery, and Bootstrap in a Drupal context. Writing code in PHP and/or Java is a plus.

* Integrate external resources, especially web services, and make them available to users through web user interfaces
* Ensure the accessibility (e.g., 508 compliance) of Drupal-based web solutions
* Contribute to all aspects of the Software Development Lifecycle (e.g., Requirements, Design, Development, and Testing)
* Conduct multiple levels of testing including unit, system, integration, and performance, with automation where possible.
* Collaborate with the team on agile activities including to estimation, iterative planning, and retrospectives
* Integrate development work as part of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
* Manage code and other artifacts using Git
