The workforce is undergoing a massive transformation, with up to 50% of today’s jobs expected to require new skill sets within a few years. This shift makes evaluating talent challenging, and closing this skill gap is rapidly becoming the most critical issue for companies worldwide.
At Alva, we believe you are more than just your CV. Traditional evaluations can't capture your full potential, especially in a world where roles evolve quickly. We're dedicated to building an inclusive product that gives everyone an equal opportunity to showcase their abilities and match efficiently with relevant job opportunities. By doing so, we empower companies to thrive and improve their performance through better talent alignment.
We are currently seeking 2-4 Senior Fullstack Engineers to help us revolutionize how the world views talent, today and tomorrow.

Your future colleagues
We are a team of 60+ people, representing a wide selection of professional backgrounds. And all of that is absolutely fantastic, but the true beauty is the trust and warmth you will experience. You will most likely never be in a place where people are as nerdy about what we do, and have so many brilliant minds to learn from and ask for guidance. To quote our CEO during our last company trip, “It feels like hanging out with a bunch of old friends”.
What we offer
We strongly believe that experimentation is the best way of learning and making decisions about product and technology. Therefore, we try our best to keep the feedback loops short to iteratively improve our product and our system. For this to be possible, we need a modern system that is pleasant to work with. The core of our tech stack is;
The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to work with something that truly makes a difference.
What else? We have flexible work hours in a hybrid setup, where you spend at least 3 days/week in the office. You will get six weeks of vacation, a flexible compensation and benefits package where you can make individual adaptations, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks.
