Almanac is a modern collaboration tool for remote teams that makes the dream of fewer meetings a reality. It's a single source of truth for project documentation and decision-making: one place where remote technical teams can write, approve, track, and document.

We believe teams and companies are the sum of their systems and processes—but most are surprisingly informal about how they collaborate, leading to chaos, delays, and frustration for managers, executives, and clients.

Technical teams at companies like Airbyte, Ender, and Indeed are using Almanac to change how they write docs, get feedback without meetings, and automate repetitive processes.

That's where you come in: we're looking for a passionate QA Automation Engineer who wants to make a big impact as we grow Almanac's surface area and scale it to millions.
