Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Drupal / WebOps Engineer to help operate, maintain, and extend a large-scale enterprise web platform powering 400+ Drupal sites. This role sits at the intersection of application engineering and platform operations, ensuring reliable, scalable deployments across a multi-site architecture.

What You’ll Work On

  • CI/CD & Platform Automation

    • Maintain and extend GitHub Actions-based CI/CD pipelines

    • Manage automated workflows for MultiDev environment creation (Pantheon), Canary deployments, phased releases, and fleet-wide upstream deployments

    • Troubleshoot pipeline failures and improve resiliency and observability

    • Enhance automation around release processes, including changelog generation and deployment validation

  • Pantheon & Hosting Operations

    • Work with Pantheon platform tooling (Terminus CLI, MultiDev environments, upstream management, and site orchestration)

    • Support platform stability, deployment workflows, and environment lifecycle management

  • Drupal Engineering (Backend Focus)

    • Contribute to and maintain a Drupal 10-based multi-tenant platform

    • Develop and support custom modules, integrations, and backend logic

    • Debug and resolve issues across a shared codebase impacting multiple sites

    • Ensure best practices for performance, security, and maintainability

  • Automation & Observability

    • Extend automation using Quicksilver (even-driven workflows) and messaging integrations (e.g., Google Chat notifications)

    • Improve visibility into system health, deployment outcomes, and failures

  • Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)

  • Comfortable debugging across application code, deployment pipelines, and hosting/platform environments

  • Experience working in multi-site or multi-tenant architectures

  • Strong understanding of version control (Git), deployment strategies (canary, phased rollouts), and environment management (dev/test/prod isolation)

  • Ability to work across both application code and infrastructure workflows

Nice-to-Have (Bonus Skills)

  • Frontend experience with Vue.js and TypeScript

  • Scripting or backend experience with Node.js or Python

  • Familiarity with search platforms (MongoDB Atlas Search, vector search, RAG systems)

  • Knowledge of release automation patterns (auto-generated changelogs, commit parsing, etc.)

 

What Success Looks Like

  • CI/CD pipelines are stable, fast, and require minimal manual intervention

  • Deployments across 400+ sites are predictable and low-risk

  • Platform automation continues to evolve and improve

  • Drupal platform remains stable and maintainable across tenants

  • Issues are proactively identified through improved observability and alerts

 

Why This Role Matters
