Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is able to recognize that successful software development requires communication, experimentation, and iteration
- The ideal person for this role loves to collaborate, has a solid foundation in backend engineering, some exposure to frontend development, and leverages this skill set to build amazing digital experiences
- You have 3-5 years of experience as an engineer with a proven history of working across the stack and building products at scale
- You have extensive experience with web technologies. We are language agnostic in our interviews but require experience with one or more common web frameworks
- You've got an understanding of accessibility and security compliance

What the job involves
- Alma is seeking a mission-driven Full Stack Engineer with experience working across the stack to join our Billing team
- We are dedicated to building tools and services which help our providers more easily manage and grow their practice
- In this role, you will be building features that solve real problems for mental health providers
- On this scaling team, you will have a strong hand in defining Alma's features, services, and architecture
- Gain a deep understanding of what Alma members do, how they operate, and where their pain points are
- Work in our backend space (~60% of the role) while tackling work full stack as needed to support projects with frontend-oriented goals (~40% of the role)
- Design, develop, and implement maintainable and scalable product features using modern front and back end web technologies (Python, Django, MySQL, React, Typescript)
- Develop both member-facing and internal-facing features around onboarding, scheduling, billing, and client management
- Collaborate with Alma managers, PMs, designers, and stakeholders to conceptualize and build solutions for practical problems facing Alma members
- Ensure applications and services meet Alma's standards for software including performance, scalability, and security
- Collaborate closely with other engineers and EM to contribute to a technical roadmap for the team, finding opportunities to mentor and elevate team members along the way
Our take
4 in 10 adults in the United States suffer from some form of anxiety or depression, but most go without appropriate support because of difficulties in accessing mental health care providers. Alma exists to meet a growing demand for mental health services by supporting providers in offering online care, and making it easy for people who need help to find qualified, in-network therapist who meets their needs.
There has been something of a boom in the virtual mental health space, and by encouraging online therapy Alma is competing against a plethora of well-funded apps aimed at self help and mental wellbeing offered at a far lower price than regular therapy. However, these are largely unregulated and their quality is often questionable. By prioritising vetted and professional therapists, Alma has provided a real alternative to in-person therapy and this has allowed it to grow rapidly, growing its network to over 8,000 therapists across all 50 states.
Alma's success has also attracted a large amount of funding. This is being used to further expand its network and to develop the tools offered to its providers. Having scaled rapidly through 2022 it is showing no signs of slowing down, and is well poised for future growth.
