Drupal Developer - Transit Campaign Website

Transportation Alternatives (TA), New York City's advocates for bicycling, walking and public transportation, seeks a Drupal Developer to build a new public transit advocacy web site. The site is part of a campaign that will activate New York City’s transit riding public, and will motivate Albany to properly support the MTA.

Responsibilities
The site will feature user-submitted content, a feature box with video/photos, action alerts, RSS feeds, and will need to integrate with Twitter, Mobile Commons, Facebook and possibly with local Perl CGI-BIN scripts or Drupal Webforms.

The site will also need to provide a simple backend that will allow our Advocacy staff to manage daily site operations, including user management, content moderation and publishing/scheduling new content.

The site will be built on Drupal 5 (PHP 4.3.9), with an eye for upgrading to Drupal 6 (PHP 5.2) a few months after launch. The upgrade to Drupal 6 is not included in the scope of work, but this could be arranged if desired, and if funding allows.

Qualifications
The Developer must have at least 3 years experience in developing Drupal web sites, including experience building custom themes from a designer's template files and a knack for PHP coding.
