WFMU's Audience Engine project has an opening for Senior Drupal Developer. Audience Engine is an open source platform and strategy which will provide digital distribution of audio, video and audience engagement tools fully integrated with social fundraising tools, to radio stations, journalists and digital libraries. The functional requirements for Audience Engine are based on WFMU’s existing platform which can be seen live at wfmu.org. None of WFMU's existing code base will be utilized in Audience Engine. Audience Engine will be developed on top of an existing open source CMS system which will function as an Application Framework that can be integrated with any web based Front End. Whenever possible, Audience Engine will utilize existing open source components, such as CRM, Chat/Comment and Crowdfunding software by creating open source enhancements to provide specific functionality. Several new applications will be developed as open source CMS modules. For some functions, best of breed commercial components will be implemented initially until open source versions become fully functional.
The Senior Developer will work under the supervision of the project's Software Architect, who will provide the software blueprint and timeline for all elements of the project, as well as WFMU staff, who will advise on a non-technical level. The ideal candidate will have experience coding with Drupal 7, a basic understanding of what's to come in Drupal 8, and special consideration will be given to those who have previously worked on media-rich sites. The position is full-time with competitive pay and an excellent benefits package. Applicants must be based in the tri-state area and able to work at the WFMU office in Jersey City, NJ. Some telecommuting is acceptable.
