About the Company

HEALTH CAN'T WAIT. Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a six month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that's exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can't. Alan exists to end the wait. Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when it's coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. It's not solely a question of willpower. It's the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way. So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience. We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture https://alan.com/en/careers. We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached 800M+ in ARR. Prevention as the new norm. That's what we're building with our team of 1000+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond. THE ENGINEERING TEAM In our engineering team, we build the infrastructure, interfaces, and applications to provide first-class service to our members, health professionals, and even ourselves Being an engineer at Alan means joining a team of talented, committed and passionate engineers, with a lot of interactions. We move fast,

Requirements

  • ● Senior-level experience (typically 8+ years) in backend or platform software engineering, or equivalent, with deep production ownership (API and contract design, data modeling, running what you ship).
  • ● You've built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them.
  • ● You're comfortable operating across many teams and influencing without authoritarianism: getting legal, security, data, and product crews who don't report to you aligned on a plan, and driving it to completion.
  • ● You bring pragmatism under constraint: you ship sound, safe solutions and improve them over time, rather than waiting for perfect.
  • ● Strong plus: prior privacy, GDPR, or data-governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform-team operating model.
  • ● Explicitly not required: deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it.
  • ● MINDSET WE VALUE
  • ● You treat platform engineering as product work: engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless.
  • ● You're hands-on: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on-call, incident response.
  • ● You design and communicate: you're as comfortable writing a framing doc, drawing a dependency map, and aligning several areas on a design decision as you are writing the code.
  • ● You're an enabler: you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you.
  • ● You build reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and safe-by-default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale.
  • ● You're fluent in English (French is not required).
  • ● For this opportunity, we are aiming to hire above the E level range https://medium.com/alan/a-new-iteration-of-our-engineering-career-path-at-alan-f46f7b229b2d.
  • ● But above all, we are looking for high potential and curiosity: make sure to show us this when you apply Everything else is a bonus.
  • ● HOW WE WORK
  • ● Location: You must be legally eligible to work in France, Belgium, or Spain.
  • ● Remote work: We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in-person collaboration.
  • ● IMPORTANT NOTE: WE HIRE PEOPLE, NOT ROLES.
  • ● If you're excited about this opportunity but don't check every box, we'd love to hear from you. Everyone, no matter how underrepresented, should feel free to apply, as it can only bring learnings or success.
