What We Do:
Alluma is a non-profit on a bold mission: to remove the barriers between people and the services and support that matter most. We believe that applying for benefits — and finding the food, shelter, or health services you need — should be quick, simple, and dignified. Our diverse team is made up of policy experts, technologists, determined leaders, and compassionate innovators, united by our desire to do whatever it takes to solve complex problems in connecting people to health and social services. We create technology solutions that empower people and put them first.
How We Work:
Alluma employees dig deep to understand the challenges that communities face and how social service and health care professionals and organizations work to address those challenges. With that understanding we dig into how our clients work and the challenges faced by the people they serve, so we can streamline complicated processes and design smart solutions that work better for everyone. At Alluma, everyone has a role in ensuring that nobody falls through the cracks. We put people and their unique needs at the center of what we do. Each client and each community that we work with is unique and different, so our technology solutions must flex to each opportunity.
Alluma is fully committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. We know through experience that people with wide-ranging ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds foster a stronger and more creative work environment. We encourage everyone to apply.
