At Alma, we believe in commerce as a force of progress, and we want to put finance back in the service of commerce. We are convinced trade is sustainable only if it is well balanced. We believe that it is possible to create financial products that empower merchants to sell more, and help consumers purchase better products while never encouraging them to get over-indebted.

We develop tech solutions that are accessible to all, easy to implement, and that eliminate purchase friction.

For merchants, our instalment and deferred payment solutions are excellent ways of increasing customers' loyalty and satisfaction, as well as generating up to 20% extra sales revenues without any risk. and they generate an incomparable level of satisfaction with 64 Net Promoter Score.

For consumers, the purchase experience is enhanced (4.7/5 on Trustpilot) and Alma helps them handle their budget easily. They pay later, Alma pays the merchants right away.

We are the leader in France and are on track to win the European market on the (very) hot Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) industry, as we’re now processing payments in 10 European countries. Over the past 3 years, more than 7,800 merchants have chosen Alma to be their innovative BNPL solution, and we have served over 1.7 million consumers.

The team has grown from 2 to 350+ people, we raised a €210M series C early 2022 to help us accelerate further and Alma is already part of the Next40 ranking of the most promising French technology companies. And that's only the beginning.

Product & Engineering at Alma

Product & Engineering Organization at Alma is divided into five Impact Teams, composed of one or several squads and three Specialist Teams.

The Impact Teams are defined by their mission:

• Merchant Acquisition: Improve Alma Product Market Fit and ensure the Product fits the requirements of our prospects
• Merchant Performance: Make our existing merchants as performant as possible
• International: Conquer new markets by adapting the Product to each country specificities
• Scale: Ensure Alma can pursue dynamic growth in an efficient and sustainable manner

The Specialist Teams work on specific technologies and areas:

• Integration: Provide Alma offering at speed while making plug & play modules for merchants on e-commerce platforms
• Platform: Develop our platform on four pillars, Infrastructure, Security, Data, and dev experience
• Risk: Limit the frauds and outstanding payments

Those teams are also supported by User Researchers and Product Designers who make us level up in terms of discovery methodologies, practices and tooling.

What we value in Product & Engineering at Alma

One team: Product & Engineering have the same objectives and work together to reach them. We expect engineers to take part in Product thinking on future iterations, and we expect product managers to take into account issues such as technical debt.

Discovery: The Product Manager’s role is to take the heat out of the debate on product evolution by providing strong evidence thanks to discovery.

Ownership: Squads are responsible for achieving their goals and therefore have the freedom to define how they do it.

Autonomy: Each team can modify any part of the Product if it is relevant to reach their objectives, therefore, limiting the dependencies.
