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

We partner with 35K+ companies of all sizes, serve more than 950+ members, and have reached 680M+ in ARR. Our team of 700+ people (still growing) operates across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada.

We move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems. Our stack is Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL.
Global Architecture Team
In Alan's early expansion, we made a strategic decision to create separate codebases for each country. We now aim to merge these into global, configurable modules. The Global Architecture team is central to this transformation – our goal is to enable any team 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 for other teams.
* Remove Technical Blockers for Product Teams – tackle technical blockers that cut across several domains and eliminate the need for team‑specific workarounds.
* 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.
🌟 Why This Role Matters
* Focus on High-Impact, Cross-Domain Solutions – work exclusively on blockers that span multiple business domains.
* Enable Teams, Don’t Replace Them – work on technical obstacles that prevent teams from building global‑first solutions and collaborate to remove those obstacles.
* Learn and Share Globalization Patterns – develop expertise in globalization patterns and share learnings with other teams.
🚀 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 articulate nuanced trade‑offs between them.
* Spot technical obstacles that block multiple teams and design solutions to remove them.
