Fullstack Software Engineer (x/f/m) - Contract Lifecycle
Alan
About the role
About
Alan is building a vertically integrated health partner that unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one seamless system. Our vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all.
Our mission: 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.
By connecting all aspects of care (private, public, and direct to consumer) we create the most memberācentric healthcare experience, reducing claims costs while generating new monetization opportunities.
We partner with tens of thousands of companies across France š«š·, Spain šŖšø, Belgium š§šŖ, and Canada šØš¦, serving over a million members.
Leadership Principles
- Mission is the Boss ā We think longāterm and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else.
- Distributed Ownership ā Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results.
- Radical Transparency ā All information is accessible and writtenāfirst, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously.
- Always Growing ā Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with selfāgrowth ownership.
šÆ The mission & impact
We build the contract lifecycle platform that powers Alanās B2B insurance business endātoāend ā from proposal creation to renewals, amendments, alternatives, and terminations.
Concretely, This Means
- Renewals at scale: turning a highāstakes, highāvolume moment (renewal season) into a reliable, observable process ā less manual work, fewer errors, higher ops autonomy.
- A āsingle subscription / contracting stackā across countries: one global system (FR, BE, ES, CA, and upcoming markets like KSA) instead of local exceptions and fragile workarounds.
- A better Admin experience: admins should understand whatās happening on their contract throughout the year (not only at renewal), with clear compliance signals, alternatives, termination status, and impact reporting.
- Foundation for the rest of Alan: claims, billing, reporting, and many parts of our stack rely on clean, consistent contracting data ā when contract lifecycle is solid, everything downstream becomes simpler and more reliable.
š What you'll build and who youāll work with
- Renewal at scale (Opsāfirst): one system to run renewals endātoāend ā less manual work, clear pacing between automation and overrides, ability to dismiss/cancel proposals, and monitoring with historization (no overwrites).
- Global contracting stack (all countries): a single contracting/subscription stack across FR/BE/ES/CA (and future markets), with Proposal Builder integrated as a step in Offer Builder and legal docs decoupled ā no local hacks, cleaner APIs.
- Internal tools that scale (Proposal Builder + Account Hub): safer UX for internal users, a global Account Hub with contract history and the right context, and reduced reliance on Flask admin for nonāengineers.
- Admin Experience (compliance, alternatives, termination): make compliance issues visible and actionable, improve alternatives (discoverability + personalization), and build robust termination tooling yearāround (not just at renewal).
ā” Why this role is special
- Direct Impact: Your decisions affect Alanās scaling, growth, profitability and ability to provide easy access to healthcare to more and more people.
- Complex Problems: Modelling a complex world in a simple stack, realātime pricing, scale challenges.
- Ownership & Growth: Influence product direction, mentor other engineers, and lead technical initiatives that shape the future of healthcare access.
