Immigration Coordinator

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 Village Global, NFX, and Conviction, and we’re founded by a diverse team of Harvard Law, HBS, and UCLA grads with experience at Cooley, McKinsey, EY, and Uber.

We’re looking for an organized and detail-oriented Immigration Coordinator to join our fast-growing legal team. This is an onsite role based in our Palo Alto, California office, supporting our legal team with case preparation and operational tasks. If you’re meticulous, thrive on keeping things running smoothly, and are excited to learn about immigration law from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll work behind the scenes to support our legal team in preparing immigration cases. Your day-to-day will focus on administrative and operational tasks that are critical to ensuring accuracy and efficiency in our casework. Over time, there’s room to grow into a paralegal role and take on more complex case preparation.

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

Printing, assembling, and shipping case materials with exceptional attention to detail.
Performing data entry and maintaining case files to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Reviewing case packets for errors or missing information.
Supporting internal knowledge management and document organization.
Assisting with other administrative tasks to keep our legal operations running smoothly.

You Should Apply If:

You have strong organizational skills and a sharp eye for detail.
You are comfortable working on detail-heavy tasks where accuracy is critical.
You’re eager to learn about immigration law and grow into a paralegal role over time.
You are comfortable juggling multiple tasks and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
You enjoy contributing to operational efficiency and improving team processes.
You are available to work onsite at our Palo Alto, California office and can reliably handle tasks requiring a physical presence.

You Should NOT Apply If:

You’re looking for a traditional law firm environment with strict roles, long memos, and well-worn routines - we’re startup-minded and always evolving.
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 with direction than thinking through how to improve the systems and processes behind the work - iteration is core to how we grow.

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. That means we value clear communication, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous feedback—across roles and across borders.

We’re startup-minded, mission-driven, and deeply committed to doing meaningful work that impacts real people’s lives.

Health insurance reimbursement
A front-row seat to startup growth, with mentorship from legal, tech, and business leaders
Opportunity to learn immigration law and grow into a paralegal role
