Why Acquia

Acquia is the commercial engine of the Drupal ecosystem. The company pairs the open source CMS with a managed cloud platform, then layers on digital asset management (expanded through the 2021 Widen acquisition, with AI features added in 2024), a customer data platform, and journey orchestration. It even runs its own marketing site on Drupal. Acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1 billion in 2019, it operates as a private-equity-backed company at scale, and its engineering stack runs on Kubernetes, Go, PHP, Python, and React.

The working culture is anchored in what Acquia calls its core DNA: Committed to Awesome, Do the Right Thing, Jump In and Own It, Give Back More, Dare To Be Different. The careers page frames the employee experience around five pillars, from meaningful work to trust in executive leadership, and community shows up in concrete ways: employee resource groups including AABLE, Women of Acquia, and Pride, plus a 10-year partnership with Wonderfund that fulfills the holiday wish lists of 200 local children each year. Learning is organized around a stated philosophy of contribution, connection, and growth.
