🌍 Who we are

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.

Today, we serve 950K+ members across France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Canada 🇨🇦, partner with 35K+ companies, and have reached €680M+ ARR. Our team of 700+ Alaners is growing fast, with an ambition to reinvent healthcare at scale.

⭐ 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

Our focus is on building reusable internal capabilities that power multiple product flows:

• 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.

Our role is to empower product teams, reducing their cognitive load.

⚡ 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’ll work closely with product crews across all Alan areas, as well as with our Architecture Group and Tech Foundation Area, making sure our systems scale globally and align with long-term technical strategy.
