Immigration Attorney

role at

Alma Hi there! We’re Alma. We’re on a mission to make immigration more accessible, transparent, and human through cutting-edge technology and thoughtful legal support. Alma is backed by top-tier investors like Bling Capital, Village Global, Forerunner, NFX, and Conviction, and founded by a diverse team of Harvard Law, HBS, and UCLA grads with experience at Cooley, McKinsey, EY, and Uber. Our legal team is made up of former Fragomen, Kramer, Ogletree, BAL attorneys and paralegals.

What You’ll Do

As an Immigration Attorney at Alma, you’ll wear both legal and strategic hats. You’ll guide clients through complex immigration matters (think: EB-1s, H-1Bs, O-1s, TNs, and beyond), help design better legal workflows, and collaborate closely with our product and engineering teams to build tools that transform the immigration experience.

Here’s what you can expect to spend your time on:

Providing expert legal guidance on a wide range of employment-based immigration cases (EB-1A/B, EB-2 NIW, O-1A/B, H-1B, L-1, PERM, TN, E-2, etc.)

Serving as attorney of record and drafting petitions that are persuasive, well-reasoned, and client-centered

Helping clients navigate uncertainty with clear communication, strategic advice, and deep legal knowledge

Collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to improve our LegalTech platform and internal tools

Contributing to systems-building across templates, legal processes, and training resources

Supporting new client consultations, helping assess eligibility and recommend pathways

You Should Apply If:

You have 3–5 years of experience practicing employment-based immigration law

You’re licensed to practice law and hold a J.D. or L.L.M. from an accredited institution

You care deeply about client experience and pride yourself on being responsive, strategic, and human in your communication

You’re energized by the pace of a startup and want to help shape how legal services are delivered

You’re curious, collaborative, and excited to build new systems — not just operate within old ones

You Should NOT Apply If:

You’re looking for a traditional law firm environment with rigid hierarchies and a narrow scope of work

You prefer a clearly defined legal role that doesn’t involve product input or tech experimentation

You’re not comfortable with ambiguity — many cases fall into gray zones that require nuance and judgment

You’re not interested in building scalable legal solutions — we\’re deeply invested in systems thinking

What It’s Like To Work At Alma

We’re a small, mission-driven team reimagining immigration from the ground up. That means we value thoughtful writing, cross-functional collaboration, and building systems that scale with care. We move fast, work across disciplines, and are always learning from our clients and from each other. We’re remote-first, low-ego, and genuinely care about creating better outcomes for immigrants and their families.
