Full Time
Engineering
Experienced

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

We're seeking a talented Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to an exciting website modernization project for the Department of Commerce. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a modern, user-friendly, and accessible digital experience that helps businesses navigate tricky regulations.

This project uses a modern tech stack: a headless Drupal backend, a Next.js frontend, Tailwind CSS for styling, and GraphQL to connect Drupal and Next.js. The entire system is hosted in an Azure cloud environment. While you'll be working across the full stack, your sweet spot will be on the frontend, bringing designs to life and ensuring a high-quality user experience. You'll also have the opportunity to work with Drupal as a headless CMS, so some experience in that area is a plus.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We place a significant amount of emphasis on positive work-life balance, setting healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

This position is fully remote. Our entire team is remote across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. There will never be a return-to-office, as we have none!

Your Opportunities

At For People, you will:

  • Develop and maintain the frontend of a headless Drupal website using Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.
  • Integrate the Next.js frontend with the headless Drupal backend using GraphQL APIs.
  • Work with the backend Drupal CMS, including content modeling and API integrations.
  • Collaborate with our Human-Centered Design team to translate wireframes and mockups into high-quality, reusable code.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
  • Optimize user-facing tools and search functions for maximum speed and scalability.
  • Participate in agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
  • Effectively communicate and collaborate with team members, stakeholders, and government partners to understand requirements and deliver solutions.

You Bring

  • A humble and caring attitude aligning with For People’s values – how we work with passion, fun, curiosity, sustainability, humility, and respect
  • Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly React and Next.js.
  • Experience with Drupal, preferably in a headless or decoupled architecture.
  • Familiarity with version control platforms, such as Git or Azure Repos.
  • A genuine passion for building user-centered digital services in government.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You can clearly articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and thrive in a collaborative environment.
  • 4+ years of experience in software development and a Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent)

Additional Details

Location: 100% remote within the United States. Fully paid travel may be required 1-2 times per year to Washington, DC area for in-person team collaboration.

Salary Range: $110,000-$130,000 annually, plus comprehensive benefits and annual company profit sharing.

Work Authorization: As we work on U.S. Federal Government programs, you must be a United States citizen and able to pass a public trust background check.

For People is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We welcome all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, or veteran status.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
