A typical day with the Sooperthemes remote team

In the morning

After our stand-up meeting you make your own planning and start working working on a weird bug with CSRF tokens expiring, breaking some of Glazed Builders' AJAX post requests that are responsible for saving content. Your write object-oriented PHP and modern JS code for our Drupal 8 module as you upgrade the logic around CSRF token requests. While coding the CSRF fix you spot a "deprecated" function and with the impending Drupal 9 upgrade in mind you rewrite it to a forward-compatible method.

In the afternoon

After your lunch you make yourself a large coffee and start coding away on our Boostrap 4 migration branch. It's a large task that will take 3-4 weeks to complete but you split up the task into smal pieces to make it easy to track your progress.

During this morning's stand-up meeting you caught up with our Marketing Manager and Customer Success Manager. You all agree it's absolutely necessary to create documentation for our new "user profiles" Glazed Builder feature before the week is over. We delivered this feature the week before but our clients can't seem to find it. You have a quick video call with company director Jur and discuss possible solutions to the discoverability of features. After the chat you implement a new settings link in the Glazed Builder primary toolbar.

You: A communicative programmer with entrepeneurial spirit

Are you ready for a new challenge? At Sooperthemes you work exclusively on our own products, especially our drag and drop builder Glazed Builder. As product developer at Sooperthemes you won't just have to be a technological A-Player but also have an interest in business economics and a develop a strong awareness of our business challenges, opportunities, and the impact we have on our clients.

Our 500+ clients consist of a wide variety of Drupal users including Fortune 500 companies, and powerful organisations like the US Senate and the United Nations. Our work does not just influence our hundreds of clients but also the daily work of all content and marketing staff who work on our clients' web presence, and the millions of people who depend on our clients' websites.

A handful of international websites that are built with both our page builder and our framework theme:

• www.herforshe.org/en
• www.oceanactionhub.org
• www.tvo.org
• www.romney.senate.gov (all 2019 senator websites are built with our products)
• Cao.aal.hku.hk
• Mercyhurst.edu

Us: A dynamic start-up with heart voor open source and a product that gives Drupal that edge again

Sooperthemes products are built by developers who have a lot of heart for Drupal. Top developers with a long list of Drupal contributions and core patches helped Sooperthemes to ensure Drupal is still a viable option for clients who require increasingly sophisticated front-end authoring experiences, to ensure optimal productivity and user experience for their content and marketing staff.

Our most important product is our drag and drop builder, and many clients combine it with our Glazed theme. Glazed Builder is a standalone module that connects a front-end application consisting of 10.000 lines of Javascript to the API's of Drupal 8 and Drupal 7.

This complex product requires that you have a deep knowledge of Drupal's API's as well as a strong ability to code Javascript. Our product is mainly made up of jQuery code but little by little we refactor components to ES6-ES8 code. Refactoring is not a priority, because priority #1 is the user experience of our clients.

However, we do have some big projects ahead, including the support of Bootstrap 4 in both Glazed Builder and Glazed Theme. Are you up to the challenge? Then apply now!
