ppbHealth can’t wait /b.br/Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a six‑month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can’t.br/Alan exists to end the wait.br/Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when it’s coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. It’s not solely a question of willpower. It’s the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way.br/So we are building the bnew standard in prevention insurance /b. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience.br/We are on an incredible journey to build a bglobal leading company, with a /bbunique culture /b. We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached €800M+ in ARR.br/Prevention as the new norm. That's what we're building with our team of 800+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond. /p h3The Engineering team /h3 pIn our engineering team, we build the infrastructure, interfaces, and applications to provide first-class service to our members, health professionals, and even ourselves! /p pBeing an engineer at Alan means joining a team of talented, committed and passionate engineers, with a lot of interactions. /p pWe move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems! /p pOur process is very simple: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. /p pWe are also the stewards of our members' most sensitive data, and building privacy in by design is core engineering work for us, not an afterthought. /p pWant to know more?

(Wider platform: AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog.) /p h3The Data Foundations crew - within the Tech Foundations area /h3 h3Mission /h3 pYou’ll own the Data Privacy Orchestrator, the platform 15+ areas and 1M+ members depend on to handle personal data safely. Your job is to build safe-by-default abstractions at scale and enable every area to run its own data lifecycle, so the platform no longer depends on one person. /p ul liTech 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. /li liData Foundations - is one of its crews. Its mission:



be the benabling and platform team for data lifecycle and privacy engineering /b across Alan: retention, deletion, anonymization, and pseudonymization, by design. It builds and runs the bData Privacy Orchestrator /b and equips each area to own its own data rules on top of it. The team also handles data shared with third parties and partners, with Legal and Security on requirements, including authority-facing work. /li /ul h3What you’ll do /h3 ul libOwn and run the platform /b: its core engine, safety mechanisms (preview/dry-run, audit trail), and operational health (deploys, on-call, observability). /li libBuild the paved road /b: docs, templates, and self-serve tooling so any area plugs in and manages its own data rules, you build the capability, not do the work for them. /li libBridge across areas /b: align legal, security, data, and product on requirements; resolve deletion-ordering trade-offs. Each area stays accountable for its own data. /li libGrow the surface /b: extend coverage across data stores and third‑party systems as Alan expands into new countries. /li /ul h3What you’ll ship in your first 6 months /h3 ul liA hardened Data Privacy Orchestrator (safety + observability) running in production, documented end‑to‑end. /li liExtend coverage across data stores and third‑party systems, in step with Alan's expansion into new countries. /li /ul h3Focus for 2026 /h3 ul libOwn the platform: /b become the long‑term owner of the platform for GDPR‑compliant data lifecycle and shape the roadmap for how Alan manages data lifecycle at scale. /li libRaise the bar on the platform: /b invest in its safety, observability, and developer experience so areas build on it with confidence. /li libLay the paved road: /b ship the docs, templates, and tooling that let areas self‑serve, then move ownership of data rules to the areas that produce the data. /li libScale the surface: /b grow the platform’s reach across data stores and third‑party systems as Alan expands into new countries. /li /ul h3Is it you we're looking for? /h3 h3Experience we value /h3 ul liSenior/staff‑level backend or platform engineering, we're hiring at level E or above band. We care about evidence deep production ownership, not a year count. /li liYou’ve built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them.



/li liYou're comfortable operating across many teams and influencing without authoritarianism: getting legal, security, data, and product crews who don't report to you aligned on a plan, and driving it to completion. /li liYou bring pragmatism under constraint: you ship sound, safe solutions and improve them over time, rather than waiting for perfect. /li libStrong plus: /b prior privacy, GDPR, or data‑governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform‑team operating model. /li libExplicitly not required: /b deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it. /li /ul h3Mindset we value /h3 ul liYou treat platform engineering as bproduct work /b: engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless. /li liYou're bhands‑on /b: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on‑call, incident response. /li liYou bdesign and communicate /b: you're as comfortable writing a framing doc, drawing a dependency map, and aligning several areas on a design decision as you are writing the code. /li liYou're an benabler /b: you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you. /li liYou build breusable patterns /b: guardrails, libraries, and safe‑by‑default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale. /li liYou're fluent in bEnglish /b (French is not required). /li /ul pFor this opportunity, we are aiming to hire above the E level range. /p pBut above all, we are looking for high potential and curiosity: make sure to show us this when you apply! Everything else is a bonus. /p h3How we work /h3 ul libLocation /b: You must be legally eligible to work in France, Belgium, or Spain. /li libRemote work: /b We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in‑person collaboration. /li /ul h3Important note: we hire people, not roles /h3 pIf you identify yourself as a woman: Did you know that research shows women often apply only when meeting 100% of requirements? /p pRemember, this is just a guide, not a checklist. /p pCheck out our About Alan and Career pages, as well as our Medium, blog and Glassdoor page for more info. /p h3You want to know more about Alan /h3 ul libPerks Benefits: /b Alaners are provided with a stimulating environment and perks ensuring they are bhappy, efficient and spend only high‑quality time /b with co‑workers. /li libA strong culture: /b People joining Alan are often surprised and delighted by our innovative working method.
