The role
As a Senior Drupal Backend Developer, you’ll work on a mix of impactful projects — from large-scale publishing platforms to NGO sites and headless CMS solutions.
You’ll take ownership of architecture and development, mentor teammates, and share your knowledge both inside and outside the team.

- Architect and develop scalable Drupal solutions
- Lead backend development and API integrations
- Support team members through reviews and collaboration
- Ensure code quality, testing and maintainability
- Participate in planning, deployment and CI/CD workflows

Nice to have:

- Contributions to open source projects (especially on drupal.org)
- Experience with hosting platforms (Amazee, Pantheon, Acquia)
- Familiarity with JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
- Knowledge of CI/CD, Docker or headless architectures
You don’t need to tick every single box. We know that great developers come with a variety of experiences, and we’re open to shaping the role based on your strengths. If you’re missing some of the “nice to have” skills – don’t worry, let’s talk anyway.
What we offer
- 100% remote-first work environment
- 37.5 hours / week
- 7 weeks paid vacation (including public holidays)
- Flexible working hours around the CET timezone
- 2–3 team retreats per year (including DrupalCon, all expenses paid)

Most AI writing tools live in another browser tab. You copy text out, write a prompt, copy the answer back and fix the formatting. We wanted to get rid of that loop for people who write in Drupal. Gutenberg AI is the product we are building to fix that. It brings AI into the Gutenberg block editor, right next to the content it works on.
Are you a Drupal developer looking to benchmark your expertise, or an agency mapping out your team's growth? Today, we are launching the Ramsalt Drupal Assessment, a free, personalized testing tool designed to evaluate your knowledge, highlight your strengths, and guide your next learning steps in the Drupal ecosystem.
The public sector is overflowing with knowledge – from reports to evaluations. The challenge has long been to find this information in the sea of PDFs. Ramsalt has been central to the development of Kudos – a national knowledge portal. By implementing groundbreaking AI-based document analysis, we have helped turn a chaotic document base into a goldmine of searchable insight.
Ramsalt’s Client Resource Manager, Nina Holzapfel, will speak at DrupalCon 2025 about how to manage scope creep and keep projects on track. With years of experience leading Drupal projects and keeping clients happy, she shares practical insights for teams who want smoother delivery and stronger results. In this interview, Nina explains why this topic matters and what attendees can expect from her session.
