You. Better. With Alan. Alan is building a vertically integrated health partner that unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one seamless system. Our vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all.

Our mission:

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.

By connecting all aspects of care (private, public, and direct to consumer) we create the most member‑centric healthcare experience, reducing claims costs while generating new monetization opportunities.

We partner with tens of thousands of companies across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada, serving over a million members.

How we work: our Leadership Principles

• Mission is the Boss — We think long‑term and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else.
• Distributed Ownership — Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results.
• Radical Transparency — All information is accessible and written‑first, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously.
• Always Growing — Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with self‑growth ownership.

⭐ The Product Platform Area

🎯 Mission

We enable product crews to move faster by providing reliable, reusable, and simple internal services. We encapsulate complexity, expose clear interfaces, and build mature, long‑term building blocks.

🔭 Scope

• Core Services: APIs & systems like Payment, Messaging, Document Processing, Pricing Engine
• Shared Platforms — Centralized services (e.g. AI Platform) with strong adoption across areas.
• Operational Tooling — Dashboards and automation that support reliability, observability, and scalability.
• Foundational User Experience — Ensure quality and consistency of the UX through shared layout systems, navigation, reusable UI components.

⚡ Impact

• Your work will be used daily by hundreds of product builders across Alan.
• You’ll shape reusable building blocks that make it faster and safer to launch products across multiple countries.
• By improving adoption of our services, you’ll directly improve product velocity, consistency, and member experience.

⚡ Why this role is special

• High Leverage: Your work is multiplied across the entire company — adoption & reliability is our main KPIs.
• Complex Problems: Multi‑country services, abstraction design, and adoption challenges.
• Platform Mindset: You’ll build services like a product, with product teams as your customers.
• Ownership: You’ll influence product direction, mentor engineers, and shape Alan’s internal platform for years to come.

• You are collaborative, humble, and motivated by enabling others
• You leverage AI to redefine our roles and unlock scalability
