Work for the City of Boulder

With over 300 miles of dedicated bikeways and more than 150 miles of hiking trails, Boulder values active lifestyles and access to nature. Forty-six thousand acres of protected land provide open space for recreation, natural environments and a green belt around the city.

Respect is one of our five city values and we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. We celebrate and support our differences across all spectrums, including but not limited to ethnicity, gender, age, disability and sexuality. Through our focus on racial equity, our employee benefits, and the many programs resources we offer our staff, we continually strive to weave respect for one another into the fabric of our organization.

Add your voice and talents to the City of Boulder and help us grow in service excellence for an inspired future.

The city began as a center for supply to miners, the venturers of their day, digging for gold in the surrounding mountains. Today Boulder continues to support entrepreneurship, with “the highest ‘high-tech startup density’ of any metro area in the U.S” according to the Boulder Economic Council and receiving the name “America’s Startup Capital” by Inc. Magazine. Home to The University of Colorado at Boulder, the city brings athletics and academics to its already entrepreneurial spirit.

In addition to innovation, the City of Boulder promotes civic engagement through advisory committees, public meetings and volunteerism. Through transparency and participation, Boulder works to make our government your government.
