Fullstack Software Engineer (x/f/m) - Global Architecture

You. Better. With Alan.

Alan's vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all.

Our mission is to help people live in good health to 100 while helping employers feel proud, turning health benefits from a cost centre into their most valuable investment.

We’re building a vertically integrated health partner that seamlessly unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one system.

By connecting all aspects of care - private, public, and direct to consumer - we create the most member‑centric healthcare experience. Through deep engagement, we empower everyone to overcome day‑to‑day health obstacles and live healthier lives.

We partner with 35K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M users, and have reached 770M+ in ARR.

Our team of 700+ people (still growing) operates across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada.

How we do it

People joining Alan are always surprised and delighted by our innovative working method. We have a set of cultural values that guide our approach to work.

• Mission is the boss: long‑term thinking, mission above all else
• Member & customer‑led: obsessed with solving problems and delighting users

How we build excellence

• Champions of excellence: extremely high standards and talent density
• Distributed ownership: everyone owns their decisions and results
• Radically transparent: all information accessible, written‑first, async decisions

How we grow together

• Empathetic challengers: direct, caring feedback to help each other grow
• Bold contrarians: think differently, try new approaches

How we move fast

• Disciplined execution: decisive action with compounding focus
• Fight for simplicity: high‑impact processes, smart frugality

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 product interaction. We move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems! Our process is very simple: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. Our stack is Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL.

Enabling Global‑First product development

In Alan's early expansion, we made a strategic decision to create separate codebases for each country we ventured into. This approach allowed us to quickly adapt and tailor our applications to meet the unique healthcare and regulatory requirements of France, Belgium, Spain, and Canada.

In 2024, we reached a crucial point where it was essential to merge these codebases into global, configurable modules. Yet, writing local code is still easier than building global solutions. The Global Architecture team is central to this transformation — our goal is to enable any team at Alan to develop and launch features seamlessly across markets, as outlined in our 2025 technical strategy.

Your mission

• Design Cross‑Cutting Modules — transform country‑specific implementations into elegant global components that will become the new building blocks of other teams to build global features
• Remove technical blockers for product teams — tackle technical blockers that cut across several domains and eliminate the need for team‑specific workarounds, allowing product teams to focus on their core business
• Orchestrate data transformations — implement strategies to harmonize different countries' data models without losing local flexibility and consolidate existing data into unified schemas
• Build and own what you create — responsible for the entire lifecycle of your solutions, from initial design through long‑term maintenance. We don't just design — we build, deploy, and maintain what we create

Why this role matters

• Focus on high‑impact, cross‑domain solutions — work exclusively on blockers that span multiple business domains heavily depended upon. Every solution you build has an impact across multiple teams
• Enable teams, don't replace them — focus on removing obstacles that prevent teams from building global‑first solutions, working with them to remove these obstacles
• Learn and share globalization patterns — as you design and implement global solutions, develop expertise in globalization patterns and share learnings with other teams, helping them make better decisions about global vs local solutions in their own work

What we're looking for

• Write code and maintain what you build. At Alan there is no architect in an ivory tower, we implement what we design
• Navigate complex systems spanning multiple business domains and technical boundaries
• Worked with diverse architectural patterns and can articulate the nuanced trade‑offs between them
• Spot technical obstacles that are blocking multiple teams and design solutions that remove those obstacles

Is it you we’re looking for?

We are looking for problem‑solver engineers with 5+ years of experience who get excited about simplifying complex business problems:

• Be able to tackle high‑impact & high‑risk projects involving many engineers
• Design efficient systems and engineering practices to align with and facilitate interactions between multiple teams/products
• Have the opportunity to mentor other engineers & lead crews (more details in this article)
• Contribute to hiring your future coworkers and shape candidates’ hiring experience (improving our technical assessment process, etc.)

Skills & fit

• Well‑versed in Object‑Oriented Programming such as Python, Java, C#, and enthusiast about web technologies such as modern Javascript
• Willing to work in Python/JavaScript (but you don’t need to have experience with those 2 languages)
• Passionate about building products
• Self‑starting and entrepreneurial
• Humble and still willing to grow (no matter your seniority)
• Collaborative, enthusiastic about teamwork, learning and teaching
• Fluent in English (no need to speak French)

We are aiming to hire within the D‑F level range. 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.

Perks & Benefits

• Fair rewards. Generous equity packages complement your base salary.
• Flexible office. Amazing office space at our HQ, sponsored co‑working hubs or a full‑remote experience with home office equipment sponsorship; we want you to live where you’re the happiest.
• All the tools you need. Top‑of‑the‑range equipment: MacBook Pro, keyboard, laptop stand, monitor, and noise‑canceling headphones.
• Flexible vacation policy and flexible working hours. Organize your time as you wish.
• Delightful healthcare insurance. Extremely comprehensive health insurance – 100% for you and your children, 90‑100% for partners depending on your country (permanent contracts only).
• Transport. Country‑specific commuter benefits.
• Learning & Training opportunities. A highly flexible training policy free books and budget to attend and speak at conferences if the opportunity arises.
• Personal growth through coaching. Coaching isn't just a perk – it's core to who we are. Every Alaner is paired with a dedicated coach from day one, who helps maximize your impact, nurture engagement, and navigate Alan's values to develop your full potential.

• Parental leave. Extended parental leave for all new parents.

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.

If you identify yourself as a woman: Did you know that research shows women often apply only when meeting 100% of requirements?

Remember, this is just a guide, not a checklist.
