Join our team
Hyperkind is an evolution of a long-standing practice, shaped into a more intentional form. We are a deliberately small team, supported by a trusted ecosystem of specialist partners — and ambitious in the scale and impact of the work we take on.
We are looking for people who enjoy thinking alongside clients, beyond just delivering to a brief. The work here often involves helping organisations understand what is possible, make better decisions, and move with confidence through unfamiliar territory.
If you are curious, happy explaining your thinking, and motivated by work that values judgement as much as craft, Hyperkind might just be the place you're looking for.

- Guides and supports other developers, providing practical oversight and mentoring within project delivery.
- Takes ownership of delivering, managing time, priorities, and momentum across assigned projects with a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach.
Desirable (optional)
- Experience in a digital agency or consultancy environment.
- Javascript/React experience is a bonus but not required.
What you’ll get with us
- Collaborative, experienced team working across a wide range of Drupal-focused projects, from large applications to smaller creative builds.
- Casual, flexible, mostly remote environment (1 day co-working), open decision-making, and a strong focus on learning, continuous improvement, and mastery of craft.
- Drupal 11, PHP 8, and Javascript/React stack, supported by cloud-hosted infrastructure, containerised workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and pragmatic adoption of modern tooling where it improves delivery.
