CivicActions has been the leading provider of quality Drupal services to the nonprofit sector since 2004. We are leveraging our experience of introducing the nonprofit world to Open Source and Agile and we are now rapidly expanding our business to serve Federal, state and local governments with our signature quality of service.

We are looking for experienced Drupal experts to join our team and learn our extraordinary approach to delivering Open Source technology solutions to government and non-government clients. We believe the way we do business is as important as the product we create. We communicate openly, we operate consciously and acknowledge and correct our failures when they happen. We have adapted the Agile software development methodology into every aspect of our business operations and have created a robust and agile infrastructure to grow the company.

We're a positive, open-minded team that values diversity, flexibility, cultivating a healthy work/life balance, and supporting one another. We're looking for people who think this sounds like a dream job.
