Working at Almabase

Team & Location:

You'll be part of our PDEQ (Product, Design, Engineering, Quality) team based in Bangalore. We work from the office 2 days per week with flexibility for remote work when needed. You must be located in Bangalore or willing to relocate.

Working Hours & Customer Engagement:

Our customers are primarily in the US, so customer research calls typically occur between 4 PM and 2 AM IST. You'll need comfort with occasional evening work for customer-facing activities.

How We Work:

We rely heavily on asynchronous communication and written documentation to minimize meetings and maximize flexibility. Strong writing is essential—most strategic decisions begin with well-crafted documents. If you thrive with async collaboration and can articulate complex ideas in writing, you'll excel here.
