Software Engineer - Global Architecture

Software Engineer - Global Architecture Join to apply for the Software Engineer - Global Architecture role at Alan.

About 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. 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 .

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.

Global Architecture Role Overview In Alan’s early expansion, we created separate codebases for each country to adapt quickly to local regulations. In 2024, we are merging these into global, configurable modules. 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.
