Good Morning All.
The College Board is looking to bring on two Drupal developers to join one of the largest and most talented Drupal teams in the DC Metro to creat content-focused Drupal theme solutions using PHP, Javascript and CSS on the Acquia enterprise hosted platform for their marketing division. These engineers will play a critical part in the migration of College Board's migration from Drupal 6 to 7.
As a part of the Web Content team at The College Board, this team is directly responsible for 45 of the College Board’s 200 public-facing websites. The team consists of roughly 20 Drupal developers and one Vignette developer (College Board is migrating from Vignette to Drupal).

In addition to Drupal, the required technology stack includes PHP, JavaScript, and CSS. Developers on this team will have the ability to utilize AWS, Acquia, and New Relic – all cutting edge Drupal-related CMS tools.
Top 3 Skills:
1) PHP - Solid PHP development skills, not looking for someone that is only willing to use PHP, but someone that is "Drupal" first and PHP second. Most of the migration work will be Back-end focused. A solid PHP developer can learn the Drupal aspect.
2) Drupal - 2-4 years of Enterprise Drupal development experience, UI centric. 4-5 years of overall web development experience. Currently running on versions 6 and 7. Migration experience is a huge plus.
3) UI tools - JavaScript, HTML, CSS
