“We're building software that changes how the most important decisions in people's careers get made. That requires people who care deeply about doing it right, not just fast.”
Malcolm Burenstam Linder, CEO & Co-founder, Alva Labs
Five things we hold ourselves to
These aren't aspirational poster words. They're the values actually used in retros.
Being worthy of trust
We earn the trust of each other, our candidates, and our customers by being honest, fair, and accurate in what we do.
Raising the bar
We constantly want to improve. We judge our work using our own pride as a bar for quality — if you're proud of it, it's probably at the level others expect.
Embracing the journey
We stay curious about what's ahead and make the best of the cards we're dealt in an ever-changing environment.
Being supportive
We're a team, and we value each other. Together we create something that's bigger than the sum of its parts.
Taking ownership
We take initiative and act proactively with Alva's best interest in mind. That's how we move at high velocity.
Some of the people
you'd be working with.
From 18 countries. Ex-Tesla, Octopus Energy, Deutsche Bahn — and a few who never worked at a name brand, but built remarkable things anyway.
I came to Alva Labs to do psychology. I ended up building an entire department. When a company trusts you with that kind of ownership, you don't just do your job. You shape it.
I care about how things feel, not just how they work. At Alva Labs, I shape how people experience AI-driven hiring, and the stack lets me move fast without cutting corners.
I spent my career in TA at Spotify, Amazon, and King. I understand what hiring teams need because I've led several. That's why I joined Alva Labs: the product solves problems I lived with for a decade.
This is where sharp people get sharper.
We move fast, we use every tool available, and we surround ourselves with people who genuinely raise the bar. If you want a place where 12 months gives you three years of the growth you'd get elsewhere — this is it.
AI isn't a perk here. It's how we operate.
We run internal AI leadership programs and expect everyone — across functions — to be fluent. You'll learn how the best teams in the world are using AI before most of the industry has figured it out. That edge compounds fast.
The smartest room you've been in.
Our team is small and deliberately senior. People here have built things that matter, think differently, and will challenge your assumptions in the best possible way. Mediocrity doesn't last long — in either direction.
Real scope. From day one.
We don't use seniority as a gatekeeper for responsibility. Engineers own features in their first quarter. PMs own roadmaps within 6 months. The feedback is direct, the stakes are real, and you'll feel it.
Benefits that fit your life,
not the other way around.
