Immigration Paralegal

Join to apply for the Immigration Paralegal role at 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 and founded by a diverse team of Harvard Law, HBS, and UCLA grads. We’re looking for a skilled and creative Immigration Paralegal & Legal Writer to join our fast-growing legal team. If you love writing, are deeply familiar with employment-based visas, and want to help shape the future of immigration law, we’d love to hear from you. What You’ll Do In this role, you’ll own a wide range of interesting and complex employment-based immigration cases. You’ll be deeply involved in both the legal and operational side of Alma’s service, using your expertise to craft compelling petitions, streamline case workflows, and collaborate cross-functionally across the company. Here’s what you can expect to spend your time on: Drafting and preparing visa petitions and applications (including H-1B, L-1A, TN, E-2, O-1A, O-1B, EB-1, and EB-2 NIW). Writing persuasive and well-supported legal documents that tell each client’s story clearly and compellingly. Collaborating with our supervising attorney and legal team to improve case templates, protocols, and internal resources. Working independently on multiple cases and projects with minimal supervision. Giving feedback to our product and engineering teams to help improve our legal tech platform. Helping us build scalable, repeatable systems that bring clarity to complex legal processes. You Should Apply If: You’ve worked on at least 2 years of talent visa cases (especially O-1s, EB-1s, and EB-2 NIWs). You love writing and are excited by the idea of blending legal knowledge with storytelling. You’ve got a Bachelor’s degree or a Paralegal Certification . You’re comfortable juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced startup environment. You enjoy thinking about how to improve systems and aren’t afraid to propose new ways of doing things. You care deeply about getting the details right and have a strong sense of ownership over your work. You want to be part of a small, passionate team shaping a new kind of immigration firm. You Should NOT Apply If: You’re looking for a traditional law firm environment with strict roles, long memos, and well-worn routines. You’re not comfortable working in ambiguity — immigration law can be gray, and we often navigate unclear paths with strategic thinking and collaboration. You’d rather focus solely on execution than helping improve the systems and processes behind the work. You prefer to work only with legal peers — we work closely with product, engineering, and design teams to shape our tools and client experience. You want a quick, transactional writing process — this role is about thoughtful, persuasive storytelling that takes time and care. What It’s Like to Work at Alma We’re a team of curious, mission-driven people who believe that fixing immigration is both a legal and technological challenge. We value clear writing, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous feedback—across roles and across borders. We offer: Flexible PTO - take time off when you need it Health Insurance reimbursement Monthly wellness reimbursements A front-row seat to startup growth, with mentorship from legal, tech, and business leaders Opportunity to shape internal processes and build new legal tools from the ground up Collaborative, low-ego team that genuinely cares about the mission and each other #J-18808-Ljbffr
