Project Description

Develop and maintain the Connect.Cyberinfrastructure Portal used for recruiting and managing Cyberteam, Campus Champions, and ACCESS Support program participants, managing workflows, tracking projects and coordinating access to the knowledge base.

The Portal is based on a Drupal platform, hosted on Pantheon, with continuous integration for automated testing and deployment provided through Github Actions. Work is coordinated using Jira-based agile project management and Slack with code reviews on GitHub. We have a standup developer meeting once per week.

Work can include:
- Drupal configuration and custom PHP module development
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript coding
- graphic design
- user interface design
- database management
- data entry
- report generation
- automated regression testing using Behat
- documentation

Team members work together as a team to deliver functionality needed by the Portal community and are expected to be flexible, come to stand up, be responsive on Slack and email.
