Career opportunities

Many applicants are afraid that their English might not be good enough to work for us. But often this is a fear without solid ground: if you can understand and be understood, and have a discussion of some complexity, it's not a problem if you make mistakes. The most important is that you can communicate. Once that is OK, you will see that you can grow your knowledge really quickly.

Choosing Drupal was one of the best decisions we’ve made as a company. Since then a large ecosystem has grown up around Drupal with lots of high profile projects in the world’s largest organizations. But Drupal is more than an enterprise technology, it’s also a really strong community that has helpful members all over the world, that care about the world and that want to help make it a better place, be it through disaster relief, sharing of digital innovation or digital activism. Drupal is a really good doorway into the open source community that is shaping the world.

While it is of course better if you already have some knowledge, about half of the people at Pronovix were new to Drupal when they joined us. If you want to become a module developer, you might want to spend some time over the weekends on a community project (we can help you choose a good one) to build your profile and to get familiar with the Drupal APIs. But if you are a project manager or a themer, you will be able to get up to speed fast.

No worries, we understand that everyone has to start somewhere and if you are willing to learn, we are happy to help you. We have a track record of turning young graduates into world class open source developers.

Most of our team members work from our Szeged office, but we’re also fine with occasional or fully remote work. We have team members working remotely from other countries or cities, so our workflow is optimized for a distributed team.

PHP is not the prettiest of languages, but because of the sheer size of its developer community and the massive number of open source tools built in or for PHP, it has become a very productive platform for building web applications. We have a very pragmatic relationship with PHP, we use it for those things it is best in: community, open source extensions; and complement it with other languages where it has its shortcomings. Developing in PHP (at least the way we do it) requires you to interact with the open source community, and this is a really important skill you will need in the future no matter what language you write code in.

Large multinationals have fixed ways and fixed views that are really hard to change. If all you want is a job and a linear career and you don’t mind being one of many, you might be better off in a big multinational firm. If however you would like to be a unique person that can make a meaningful contribution, and if you want to work in an organization where people care about you and the impact you are making on the world, you might find us a more interesting place to work.
