We're hiring: Senior Drupal Developer 🎯
📍 Bath or London (remote up to 3 days/week, or fully remote UK/elsewhere)
💰 £49k–£65k, location dependent · Full-time, Mon–Fri
Soapbox is a creative studio for ideas that matter. We work with forward-thinking organisations turning knowledge and evidence into social progress — from artificial intelligence to international development, early childhood to climate change. Our clients include many of the world's leading charities, NGOs and research organisations.
We're looking for a highly accomplished back end developer to join our growing dev team. You'll work directly with clients and colleagues to solve complex technical problems, and you'll be a key part of ensuring our work meets client goals and follows Drupal standards in a robust, maintainable way.
What you'll be doing:
- You'll join a strong in-house team led by our Director of Web Design & Development and three technical leads (WordPress, Drupal, Front-end), working closely with project managers, digital designers and content strategists.
- Most of our work is building and maintaining organisations' main websites, plus smaller sites and products like our AI Search tool and Page-to-PDF via Puppeteer.
- We expect staff to work autonomously and own their projects — you'll usually focus on one major piece of work at a time, seeing it through to completion, with occasional rotations onto the support desk.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
