Mighty Citizen is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes everyone to our team. We strongly encourage people of color, LGBTQ and non-binary, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities to apply. If you need reasonable accommodation at any point in the application or interview process, please let us know.

You have a passion for engineering high-quality, complex Drupal ecosystems. Naturally versatile, you’re just as comfortable leveraging Twig, theme hooks, and preprocess functions to expand Drupal’s capabilities as you are at crafting elegant, accessible front-ends from scratch.

You embrace modern workflows—leveraging AI coding tools, Git, and CI/CD pipelines to work smarter. Above all, you understand the importance of team collaboration and how your technical expertise directly fuels the success of our projects and Mighty Citizen’s mission.

We help associations, universities, nonprofits and government agencies increase their impact and improve the world ‌by creating deeper connections with their audiences.
