Drupal Hiring FAQ

Every Drupal candidate completes a multi-stage technical assessment covering Custom Module Development, Theme Development, Layout Builder: architecture review of a sample codebase, hands-on coding exercise reflecting real Drupal development scenarios, and a system design discussion. We evaluate code quality, testing practices, and technical communication — not just whether it works, but how maintainable and scalable the solution is. We also verify certifications such as Acquia Certified Drupal Developer and Acquia Certified Site Builder. Only candidates demonstrating production-level Drupal expertise pass our vetting.

All our Drupal developers are based in India and work schedules that provide 4-6 hours of daily overlap with US, UK, or Australian business hours. This covers standups, code reviews, pair programming, and stakeholder meetings. Complex development work happens during their extended hours, meaning you review pull requests each morning with minimal wait time. We use Drush, Composer, Twig for asynchronous collaboration and handoffs. We've optimized this cadence across hundreds of engagements.

Every engagement is covered by a comprehensive NDA, IP assignment agreement, and data security protocols. All code, designs, and deliverables created by your Drupal developer are your property — full IP assignment, no exceptions. Access to Drush, Composer, Twig and other client systems is managed through role-based permissions. Our infrastructure includes VPN-only access to client environments, endpoint security on all workstations, and we can accommodate SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance frameworks. Background verification is standard for all candidates.
