About AlteraSF

AlteraSF builds AI that calls bluff on resumes. Our screening tool, Altera AI Screen, reads resumes and auto-generates technical questions based on what candidates claim to know. This helps skeptical hiring managers, overloaded HR teams, and admissions committees verify expertise fast.

We catch resume BS before it reaches the interview stage, exposing exaggeration, testing real-world depth, and surfacing red flags early.

Currently in limited-access deployment, we’re scaling quickly and looking for our first junior engineer to grow with us.
