Health can’t wait .
But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. 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.
So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience.
We are on an incredible journey to build a integral leading company, with a unique culture . If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. We 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.
Python/Flask, Typescript, React, React Native on the coding side. AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, Terraform/Terramate, Datadog, Cloudflare, GitHub Actions on the platform side, all in a monorepo. We deploy daily and believe in distributed ownership - you build it, you own it.
The Data Foundations crew - within the Tech Foundations area
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.
Data Foundations - is one of its crews. Its mission: be the enabling and platform team for data lifecycle and privacy engineering across Alan: retention, deletion, anonymization, and pseudonymization, by design. It builds and runs the GDPR Orchestrator (the platform's current embodiment) 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 (e.g.



You design the contract areas build on and keep it reliable as adoption grows.
# Build the paved road (enable, teach to fish): docs, templates, and self-serve tooling so any of our 15+ areas can plug into the platform and manage its own data rules and dependencies. Coordinate across areas (the cross-area bridge): align legal, security, data, and the data-producing areas on requirements, surface cross-area data dependencies, and resolve design trade-offs between them. each area stays accountable for its own data and rules.
# Push the foundations forward: drive open platform design questions to a conclusion and grow the platform's capabilities as Alan's data, products, and footprint expand.

Own the platform: become the long-term owner of the GDPR Orchestrator and shape the roadmap for how Alan manages data lifecycle at scale.
Raise the bar on the platform: invest in its safety, observability, and developer experience so areas build on it with confidence.
Lay the paved road: ship the docs, templates, and tooling that let areas self-serve, then move ownership of data rules to the areas that produce the data.
Scale the surface: grow the platform's reach across data stores and third-party systems as Alan expands into new countries.
Is it you we're looking for?
Senior-level experience (typically 8+ years) in backend or platform software engineering, or equivalent, with deep production ownership (API and contract design, data modeling, running what you ship).
You've built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them.




You'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.
Strong plus: prior privacy, GDPR, or data-governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform-team operating model.
Explicitly not required: deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it.
You treat platform engineering as product work : engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless.
You're hands-on : 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.
You design and communicate : 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.
You're an enabler : you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. You build reusable patterns : guardrails, libraries, and safe-by-default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale.
You're fluent in English (French is not required).
Remote work : We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in-person collaboration.
Everyone, no matter how underrepresented, should feel free to apply, as it can only bring learnings or success.
If you identify yourself as a woman : Did you know that research shows women often apply only when meeting 100% of requirements?
