Who We Are:

Alma is a cloud-based student information system (SIS) that serves K-12 administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Our Product team is small and mission-driven. We serve schools and districts across the US and internationally, and aim to improve education by empowering the greatest learning resource that students have at school: educators. 

As individuals, we take ownership over our roles and responsibilities. As a team, our solutions have both an educational & societal impact, and we take that very seriously. We are nimble, fast-paced, evolving, and determined to make a difference.

The students, parents, and educators Alma serves come from every walk of life: they attend public, private, and charter schools in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Our users include English language learners, people with disabilities, gender minorities, families experiencing housing instability, and students who will be the first in their family to go to college.

It is fundamental to Alma’s mission that we continue to build a team with a diversity of lived experiences and perspectives, so that we can better anticipate and serve the needs of all students. To that end, we hire for culture add over culture fit, and strive to create an environment where all team members’ voices are heard and welcomed. We are committed to maintaining a workplace where people can be themselves each day. 

All Alma team members receive health benefits, a retirement account, significant paid time off and paid holidays, and a competitive base salary.

For candidates not based in the Portland Metro Area this is a remote position. For candidates in the Portland Metro Area hybrid is preferred.
