About Alan

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 member-centric healthcare experience, reducing claims costs while generating new monetization opportunities.

We partner with tens of thousands of companies across France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Canada 🇨🇦, serving over a million members.

How we work: our Leadership Principles

• Mission is the Boss — We think long-term and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else. • Distributed Ownership — Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results. • Radical Transparency — All information is accessible and written-first, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously. • Always Growing — Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with self-growth ownership.

Design and own our billing platform

At Alan, billing is a critical platform that powers all of our services across multiples countries. We turn complex rules, multi-country regulations, and high transaction volumes into scalable, reliable systems.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will:

• Build the core billing engine: process thousands of transactions daily with precision and reliability. • Design modular, reusable billing primitives and abstractions that scale across products and regions. • Integrate with payment gateways, partner APIs, and internal systems. • Automate billing schedules and workflows across multiple countries. • Ensure system reliability, accuracy, and operational excellence. • Collaborate with product, design, and operations to create a unified platform.

Why this role is special:

• Design Alan’s core financial systems and global expansion. • Work on complex distributed systems powering thousands of transactions daily. • Influence platform design, architecture, and future scalability. • Be part of a team that values engineering craftsmanship and continuous improvement. • Work in an environment where your ideas, designs, and decisions drive tangible outcomes.

Your playground

• Stack: Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL. • What you’ll do: ship scalable, reliable systems and build the backbone of Alan’s billing operations. • Impact: your work directly unlocks new services, countries, and exciting deals. It then supports their reliable operation.

Who we’re looking for

• We are looking for software engineers of all experience levels, ideally with backend / full-stack experience. • Passionate about navigating complex business logic and system dependencies. • Experienced with scalable, resilient platform design. • Well-versed in OOP languages (Python, Java, C#). • Fluent in English (French is a plus but not required). • Curious, self-starting, humble, collaborative, and eager to grow.

Perks & Benefits

• Fair rewards & equity packages. • Flexible office & remote options. • Top-tier equipment: MacBook Pro, monitor, noise-canceling headphones. • Flexible vacation & hours. • Comprehensive healthcare for you, children, and partners. • Transport support and coaching for personal growth. • Training budget for conferences, courses, books. • Extended parental leave for all parents.
