• 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
