Job summary

Alma is hiring a Product Engineer — a backend-leaning, AI-native engineer who owns features end-to-end, from database schema to the React component the user clicks on. You'll work directly with the founding team and early customers to ship a world-class AI-powered product, and help us scale our platform by 100x.

We need you to be in the 99th percentile of having a 'can-do' attitude. You also need to be deeply customer-obsessed.
