Description du poste

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 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!

We do security as we do everything else — that is, not quite the traditional way, but always in line with our leadership principles.

Joining Alan as a Security Software Engineer team means you're at the forefront of protecting sensitive health data and ensuring our systems are resilient against threats.

🤖 The Tech Foundations area

🎯 Mission

Tech Foundations enables product crews and creates the environment to thrive—combining world‑class infrastructure, intuitive developer experience, exquisite operational excellence, and built‑in security to make shipping exceptional products effortless.

🔭 Scope

• Infrastructure enablement for product crews (e.g. hosting improvements, CI/CD, scalability, multi‑cloud architecture)
• Security and compliance facilitation (e.g. authentication, encryption, threat protection)
• Developer productivity enhancements (e.g. local environment setup, monorepo tooling, observability, tech stack evolution)
• Design and development unification (e.g. design system, accessibility)
• AI‑assisted engineering enablement (e.g. agentic development, code assistants, MCP servers)

👀 Focus for 2026

In 2026, we will grow the team significantly to further increase our impact. We want to expand our cloud footprint with a revisited multi‑cloud strategy as we expand internationally, while we’re elevating the quality bar, from infrastructure to code foundations (backend/frontend/mobile). We are also evolving our AI‑augmented development, by putting AI code assistants as a first‑class citizen for everyone, including non‑engineers. Ultimately we have massive ambitions around our Security stack and posture with enhanced tools and processes to protect our developers and users.
