About Alan
Alan exists to end the wait. 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. 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.
The Engineering Team
In our engineering team, we build the infrastructure, interfaces, and applications to provide first-class service to our members, health professionals, and even ourselves! Being an engineer at Alan means joining a team of talented, committed and passionate engineers, with a lot of product interaction. We move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems! Our process is very simple: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. Our stack is Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL.
Enabling Global-First product development
In 2024, we reached a crucial point where it was essential to merge these codebases into global, configurable modules. The Global Architecture team is central to this transformation — our goal is to enable any team at Alan to develop and launch features seamlessly across markets.
Your Mission
- Design Cross-Cutting Modules: You'll transform country-specific implementations into elegant global components that will become the new building blocks of other teams to build global features.
- Remove Technical Blockers for Product Teams: You’ll tackle technical blockers that cut across several domains and eliminate the need for team-specific workarounds, allowing product teams to focus on their core business.
- Orchestrate Data Transformations: You'll implement strategies to harmonize different countries' data models without losing local flexibility and consolidate existing data into unified schemas.
- Build and Own What You Create: You'll be responsible for the entire lifecycle of your solutions, from initial design through long-term maintenance. We don't just design — we build, deploy, and maintain what we create.
