Descripción del empleo

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. 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 800+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond.

What you'll build and who you'll work with

Role

You’ll lead 6-15 engineers across multiple crews, working closely with product managers, designers, support operations, and data scientists. You’re the bridge between technology and real member impact. In this role, you will:

• Set technical direction by balancing debt with features, establishing quality standards through code reviews, and driving operational excellence in monitoring and security
• Build talent density through strategic hiring, honest performance management, and creating engaging technical challenges that excite engineers
• Enable effective collaboration across crews by fostering psychological safety, facilitating knowledge sharing, and addressing team dynamics proactively
• Drive strategic alignment with product partners, improve development efficiency using modern tools (AI, Cursor, Dust), and ensure realistic commitments that balance technical needs with business goals
• Stay hands‑on with architecture decisions, technical problem‑solving, and maintaining your engineering skills while developing as a leader.

Why this role is special

• Dual impact: Shape both technical excellence and team growth - your engineers become better while building better products
• Leadership growth: Influence engineering culture, mentor future leaders, and drive technical strategy that shapes the future of healthcare delivery

What we’re looking for

Leadership experience

• 3-5 years managing engineering teams with a track record of building high‑performers
• Experience scaling teams and establishing engineering excellence standards

Technical foundations

• Experience with modern development practices and AI‑assisted development tools
• Recent hands‑on technical experience (2-3 years)

What we value

• You balance technical debt with feature delivery while maintaining quality
• You develop people as much as you develop products
• Clear progression in your management career - increasing team size, scope, and strategic impact

Mission alignment

• Healthcare technology and innovation excite you
• You understand that great engineering teams are built on psychological safety and continuous learning

How we work
