Career Exploration at Acquia 

Our recruitment process is designed to empower you in making the most informed decisions. Acquia is committed to providing an inclusive, transparent, efficient, and educational interview experience that cultivates exploration into career opportunities at Acquia

You will discover the opportunity to grow your career here and learn from a global team that empowers you to exceed boundaries and achieve the extraordinary.

About the Role

Acquia is hiring a practitioner-evangelist who lives at the intersection of digital marketing and vibe coding. You are not a traditional developer advocate. You are someone who creates compelling digital experiences and who can show others how Drupal and Acquia make that possible.

This role exists because Acquia's future depends on being relevant to audiences beyond the Drupal community. Digital marketers and vibe coders are building the next generation of web experiences, and we need someone who speaks their language, earns their trust, and shows them what Drupal can do for them. In the process, you will bring a whole new wave of practitioners into the Drupal ecosystem.

Critically: this is a doer role. We are not looking for someone who talks about building things. We need someone who builds things live, on camera, in tutorials, in demos. Your content is the proof.

What You'll Do

• Represent Acquia and Drupal to digital marketers and vibe coders through content, social, events, and community as a practitioner, not a spokesperson.
• Actively demo and build with Acquia products on camera and on stage. Product demos and hands-on tutorials are the core of what you produce. If you are not comfortable being the one building the thing in front of an audience, this is not the right role.
• Create high-quality, practitioner-level content like videos, demos, tutorials, live streams, and social posts targeted at non-Drupal audiences and published consistently.
• Show up where digital marketers and vibe coders already are: industry events, YouTube, Reddit, Discord servers, LinkedIn, Slack communities. You are already in these spaces; this role formalises it.
• Speak at events outside the Drupal circuit marketing, no-code, content ops, and AI-assisted development conferences and meetups.
• Collaborate with the broader dev rel team to ensure messaging is consistent and complements our Drupal-focused advocate.
• Surface market insight to Product and Marketing on what this audience cares about, what tools they use, and where Acquia can serve them better.

What You Bring

• You are a digital marketer, content creator, or vibe coder by trade. You have done the work and you continue to do it.
• An existing portfolio of dev rel or practitioner content that you can share: videos, tutorials, demos, talks, or written guides. We will review your work before we meet.
• An active public presence. You already attend and speak at relevant events, post on YouTube or social, and engage in communities where your target audience lives.
• Familiarity with Drupal: you don't need to be a core contributor, but you understand what it is, what it can do, and you are excited to build with it in front of an audience.
• Hands-on comfort with the tools of your audience: marketing automation, CMS platforms, AI-assisted coding tools, or no-code builders and the ability to demo them fluently.
• Strong on-camera and on-stage presence you are a natural whether you are recording a tutorial, going live, or presenting at a conference.
• Self-directed with an entrepreneurial mindset you can identify an opportunity, build a content plan, and execute without hand-holding.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Replit, v0, Bolt, etc.) and genuine familiarity with the vibe coding movement.
• A YouTube channel, newsletter, podcast, or social following in a relevant space and a track record of consistent publishing.
• Experience at a CMS, DXP, or martech company.

We are an organization that embraces innovation and the potential of AI to enhance our processes and improve our work. We are always looking for individuals who are open to learning new technologies and collaborating with AI tools to achieve our goals.

We are Acquia. We are building for the future and we want you to be a part of it! 

About the Role

Acquia is looking for a Director of Developer Relations & Technical Content to build and lead a team of evangelists who bring Drupal and Acquia to audiences that have never heard of us. This is a player-coach role: you will set the strategy, hire and develop the team, and personally own the digital leader and marketing technologist persona as a hands-on evangelist.

The ideal candidate is a developer who has risen through the ranks into a digital or marketing technology leadership role or someone who has worked so closely alongside that persona that they can speak to the technical and strategic pressures with equal fluency. You understand how marketing technology stacks are built, evaluated, and championed internally. You know what keeps a digital leader up at night.

Our thesis is simple: the way to grow Acquia is to grow Drupal's reach and that means getting outside the Drupal community. You will lead the charge to expand into new ecosystems, and in doing so, you will bring new practitioners and advocates into the Drupal community as a whole.

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow a team of technical evangelists and content creators, including our existing Drupal developer advocate who owns the core Drupal/developer community audience.
• Own the strategy for developer relations beyond the Drupal bubble, designing programs that reach digital leaders, marketing technologists, and adjacent technical personas.
• Personally evangelise Acquia and Drupal to the digital leader and marketing technologist audience through content, speaking, and community as a credible peer, not a vendor.
• Be hands-on with our products at all times. You will demo, build with, and create content actively using Acquia products as the star, not as a backdrop. Talking about what our products can do is not enough; you must be seen doing it.
• Maintain an active public presence: speak at industry events, post on LinkedIn and relevant communities, engage in forums and comment threads, and show up where digital leaders and marketing technologists already are.
• Define and execute a content strategy spanning video, written, social, and live formats that drives awareness and adoption outside traditional Drupal channels.
• Collaborate with Product, Sales, and Demand Gen to align dev rel programs with pipeline and product adoption goals.
• Build and manage relationships with key influencers, SME evangelists, and community leaders across target personas.
• Establish metrics and reporting cadences to demonstrate the impact of dev rel investments on brand awareness and community growth.

What You Bring

• 7+ years in developer relations, technical marketing, or developer advocacy, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
• A developer background with a career arc toward digital leadership or marketing technology. You have built things and you have also been accountable for digital outcomes.
• Deep understanding of the marketing technologist persona: you know how martech stacks get selected, integrated, and championed, and you can have a credible conversation with both the developer implementing the platform and the VP of Digital owning the roadmap.
• Demonstrated experience with Drupal. You understand the ecosystem, the community, and the technology well enough to be credible.
• An existing portfolio of developer relations content: videos, conference talks, blog posts, tutorials, or courses that you can share. We want to see your work before we meet.
• An active community presence. You already attend and speak at industry events, engage on Reddit or equivalent forums, and have a YouTube channel, newsletter, or social following in a relevant space.
• Proven ability to build and grow communities outside an established ecosystem.
• Strong leadership and team development skills. You build people up and hold a high bar.
• Comfort with data: you use metrics to inform decisions and communicate program impact to executives.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a DXP, CMS, or martech company.
• Familiarity with vibe coding tools and the no-code/low-code movement.
• Experience in a role that required you to bridge engineering and marketing — a solutions architect, technical product manager, or similar.
•

The opportunity

Help us define what AI-era marketing sites look like.

At Acquia, we power the digital experiences of the world's most ambitious brands through Drupal and our suite of digital experience products. Our own site, Acquia.com, is where that story lives — and it's about to change in a big way. AI is rewriting how people discover, explore, and decide on B2B software, and we want a designer who is excited to shape what that looks like in the open.

This is not a "make the page pretty" role. It's a craft-led, system-minded, build-it-yourself role for a senior designer who wants real ownership of a flagship B2B web property and a real seat at the table as we redesign the site for an AI-first audience.

What you'll own

Acquia.com — craft, brand, and creative range

You'll set the visual and experiential bar for Acquia.com. We want bolder, more playful, more confident work than a typical B2B site. You'll translate brand and product positioning into web experiences that make Acquia feel as ambitious as the brands we serve, and partner closely with our Brand & Creative team to keep identity tight while pushing the web expression forward.

A modern, component-based design system

You'll co-own our web design system alongside Brand & Creative. We're moving toward a Tailwind + React component foundation built on top of Drupal. You'll define and document the components, patterns, and tokens, hold the line on consistency and accessibility, and make the system something Brand, Marketing, and Dev all want to build with.

AI-era web design

Roughly 40% of this role is forward-looking AI design work. You'll lead how Acquia.com adopts AI-generated and AI-assisted surfaces — personalized hero treatments, dynamic copy patterns, content generated against guardrails — and define the design language for what is generated, how it's signaled to the visitor, and how we keep quality high. You'll also lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted design and build tools (Figma AI, v0, Cursor, Claude, Lovable, and what comes next), turning them into a real velocity advantage instead of a novelty.

Design and build

You'll design and ship. We want a designer who can take a concept from sketch to live page without long handoff loops — Tailwind and React fluency, fluent in modern CMS authoring, able to reach into custom HTML/CSS and lightweight JS where the system falls short. You won't be the only person who can ship code, but you'll be the designer who can.

End-to-end ownership

You'll own the full arc — the brief, the concept, the system implications, the build, the measurement, and the iteration. We're looking for someone who comes with a point of view about where the site should go and the credibility to argue for it.

Who you'll work with

• Brand & Creative on identity, photography, illustration, and large campaigns
• Web development engineers on build, performance, and technical implementation
• Marketing campaigns and demand gen on landing pages, conversion experiences, and launches
• The wider ADX leadership team on the roadmap for Acquia.com and our AI surface area

What success looks like in your first year

• Acquia.com visibly stands out from our B2B SaaS peers — measurably better engagement and conversion, and work the team is proud to point at
• The web design system is live, documented, adopted across Brand, Marketing, and Dev, and reduces friction on every new launch
• The team's design-to-ship velocity is meaningfully higher because of how you've integrated AI tooling — without dropping the quality bar

What we're looking for

• 5+ years designing for the web, with senior-level ownership of at least one complex site or property
• A portfolio that includes a shipped B2B SaaS or enterprise web project, a design system or substantial component library you helped build, and a point of view about where web design is heading
• Strong visual design instincts with creative range — illustration, motion, layout, type — and the confidence to push beyond the safe B2B template
• Working fluency with Tailwind and modern React component patterns, and willingness to write the code, not just spec it
• Comfort with Figma as a daily driver and with Adobe Creative Suite when the work calls for it
• Real accessibility chops — WCAG 2.1 AA as a default, not a checkbox at the end
• Curiosity and demonstrated experience with AI-assisted design and build workflows, and an opinion about how to use them well
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, fluent in English, comfortable presenting work to leadership and defending the choices behind it
• Self-directed: this is a remote role on a senior team, and we trust you to set the pace

Nice to have

• Direct experience with Drupal or other enterprise CMS platforms
• Background designing for AI-native or agentic experiences
• Front-end engineering experience beyond Tailwind/React (build tools, design tokens, component testing)
• A track record of evolving a brand's web expression — not just executing against an existing one

Our interview process

• Recruiter screen
• Hiring manager conversation
• Portfolio deep-dive with the ADX team
• Practical design exercise — focused on creative range, system thinking, and how you partner with AI tools, not just polished pixels
• Final round with cross-functional partners

We are an organization that embraces innovation and the potential of AI to enhance our processes and improve our work. We are always looking for individuals who are open to learning new technologies and collaborating with AI tools to achieve our goals.
