Alma operates a BNPL payments platform across 10 European countries, with product and payments infrastructure built on Python, React, PostgreSQL, and cloud-native tooling (GCP, Kubernetes, Docker). The hiring mix—sales and engineering roughly equal, with notable gaps in leadership and QA scaling—tracks against their stated challenges: acquiring mid-market and enterprise accounts while evolving architecture for growth and expanding into new markets.
