Working on DOL's PACE platform (EKS, Aurora MySQL, CloudFront/WAF), the role builds the Drupal themes, components, and form experiences behind the WHD External User Portal, Workers Owed Wages, Section 14(c), FLC Online, the Wage Determination public-facing portal, and the Online Complaint Intake portal. The focus is on USWDS-compliant, mobile-first, Section 508-conformant interfaces that replace paper and form-heavy processes with guided digital journeys for workers, employers, and other stakeholders., * Build and maintain custom Drupal 10+ themes and sub-themes (Twig, Sass/CSS, JavaScript) aligned with the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) and DOL.gov styles. * Translate wireframes, prototypes, and style guides from the UI/UX team into reusable front-end components, Twig templates, and design-system patterns. * Configure and theme Drupal content structures (Layout Builder, Paragraphs, Views, blocks, menus) so that routine changes can be made through the Drupal admin interface without custom code. * Build the front end of Webform-based public forms: multi-step and cascading-question flows, conditional logic, real-time inline validation, save-and-resume, document upload, and confirmation-number lookup. * Implement Drupal behaviors and JavaScript for interactive features, including the user interface for the OCIO-built AI chatbot embedded in the complaint intake portal. * Deliver responsive, mobile-first layouts with touch-friendly controls that work across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (current and one previous version) on desktop, tablet, and mobile. * Build accessibility in from the start: semantic HTML, ARIA, focus management, keyboard operability, and screen reader compatibility (JAWS, NVDA) to WCAG AA / Section 508; remediate accessibility findings. * Implement bilingual (English/Spanish) interfaces using Drupal multilingual and translation modules with WHD-provided translations. * Optimize front-end performance to meet the 3-second page/form load standard: asset aggregation, image optimization, lazy loading, and cache-friendly markup for CloudFront and Redis. * Integrate front-end tagging for the DOL Data Analytics Capability (page views, submission counts, funnel abandonment) without capturing PII. * Use DOL-provided secure AI coding tools (Microsoft Copilot) as part of the mandated AI-assisted development workflow; review all generated code before commit. * Commit code to the DOL OCIO GitLab repository, participate in sprint code reviews, write front-end unit and visual regression tests, and support release through the DevSecOps pipeline.
