Role
Who you are

- Ideally this candidate is able to bridge the connection of the frontend and the backend
- You have 4-6 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
- You've got an understanding of observability and monitoring best practices
- You have implemented automated testing platforms and unit tests
- You possess a proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git
- You enjoy customer-centered software development and collaborating closely with a team of engineers, designers, and product managers
- You have a desire to experiment (succeed or fail), iterate, and make data-driven decisions
- You have experience working with junior engineers and providing mentorship to them as they work to improve/uplevel their skills
- You have experience leading medium to large size projects, including problem architecture/solutioning, breaking work into actionable tasks, and tracking progress to code completion delivery
- You understand how to accurately communicate expectations with stakeholders
- You are someone who champions best practices, challenges the status quo, brings fresh perspectives, and is proactive in shaping how things should be built to meet evolving needs
What the job involves
- Alma is looking for a mission-driven Full Stack Engineer with experience working across the entire stack, while leaning towards a strong focus on backend development, to our join team
- In this role, you will be building features that solve real problems for mental health providers and clients seeking care
- On this team, you will have a strong hand in defining Alma's features, services, and architecture
- Gain a deep understanding of what Alma clients do, how they operate, and where their pain points are
- Work across the stack and support complex initiatives in both the front and backend based on team need
- Design, develop, and implement maintainable and scalable product features using modern web technologies (React, Typescript, Python, Django, MySQL)
- Improve how our clients find care through search for care, how we rank our search results, our guided quiz experience, consultations, and how clients manage communications with prospective providers
- Build features to help providers market themselves and attract new clients. This includes support for updating/editing profiles, managing consultation requests, notifications, and scheduling features
- Collaborate with Alma PMs, product marketers, data scientists, and designers to test, conceptualize and build solutions
- Ensure applications and services meet Alma's standards for software including performance, scalability, and security
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.
