We are looking for new talents to join our offices in Helsinki or Tampere. At Alma, we offer you flexible working hours, hybrid working model and the possibility to work part-time if needed. Alma-house in Helsinki and Siperia in Tampere are both accessible workspaces. Finnish language skills are advantage but not required

Technologies we use:

Alma uses highly automated development tools and environments. Modern technologies such as TypeScript, Golang, Kotlin, Java and Python are the ones we mainly use. Different databases and big data tools also play a significant role. We use Amazon’s and Google’s cloud services, where source code changes located in Github are automatically exported using Continuous Integration tools such as Github Actions or AWS CodePipeline. The technologies vary from product to product, and you get to influence which technologies you use in which project. You can read more about the technologies we use at https://almamedia.dev/. The user experience and user interfaces are designed using the Figma, which enables quick prototyping of functionalities and easy cooperation with frontend developers. In addition, we also use Affinity and Adobe products. Design decisions can be validated with real users, for example through analytics and A/B testing.

Join Alma – the company where courage grows together

Our program is rated 9,5 out of 10 by the previous group of trainees. They loved having personal mentors, high-quality training, and real projects to work on. We’ve been running this program since 2017, and 60% of the developers we hired through it are still working at Alma.

At Alma, we foster a culture of collaboration and teamwork, where everyone is accepted as who they are. In our constantly changing business environment, it takes courage to try new things, push boundaries, and drive innovation. For us courage is not only big heroic actions, but those small things that occur in our daily work: when you have the courage to say your opinion, speak a foreign language, try something new and fail.
