You. Better. With 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.

🚀 What you'll build and who you'll work with

You'll lead 6-15 engineers across multiple crews, working closely with product managers, designers, support operations, and data scientists. You're the bridge between technology and real member impact. In this role, you will:

• Set technical direction by balancing debt with features, establishing quality standards through code reviews, and driving operational excellence in monitoring and security

• Build talent density through strategic hiring, honest performance management, and creating engaging technical challenges that excite engineers

• Enable effective collaboration across crews by fostering psychological safety, facilitating knowledge sharing, and addressing team dynamics proactively

• Drive strategic alignment with product partners, improve development efficiency using modern tools (AI, Cursor, Dust), and ensure realistic commitments that balance technical needs with business goals

• Stay hands-on with architecture decisions, technical problem-solving, and maintaining your engineering skills while developing as a leader.

⚡ Why this role is special

• Dual impact: Shape both technical excellence and team growth - your engineers become better while building better products

• Leadership growth: Influence engineering culture, mentor future leaders, and drive technical strategy that shapes the future of healthcare delivery

🔍 What we're looking for

Leadership experience:

• 3-5 years managing engineering teams with a track record of building high-performers

• Experience scaling teams and establishing engineering excellence standards

Technical foundations:

• Strong technical background with the ability to guide architectural decisions

• Experience with modern development practices and AI-assisted development tools

• Recent hands-on technical experience (2-3 years)

What we value:

• You balance technical debt with feature delivery while maintaining quality

• You develop people as much as you develop products

• Clear progression in your management career - increasing team size, scope, and strategic impact

Mission alignment:

• Healthcare technology and innovation excite you

• You understand that great engineering teams are built on psychological safety and continuous learning

🌍 How we work

Location: You must be legally eligible to work in France, Belgium, or Spain.

Hybrid approach: Amazing office spaces, sponsored co-working hubs, or full remote - we want you where you're most effective at leading and developing your teams.

Growth mindset: Every Alaner gets a dedicated coach from day one. As a leader, you'll have additional support for developing your management skills.

🎯 Important note: we hire people, not roles.

If you're excited about this opportunity but don't check every box, we'd love to hear from you. 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?
