To make the healthcare system frictionless, fair and friendly for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for problem-solver engineers with 5+ years of experience who get excited about simplifying complex business problems
- You write code and maintain what you build. At Alan there is no architect in an ivory tower, we implement what we design
- You’re able to navigate complex systems spanning multiple business domains and technical boundaries
- You've worked with diverse architectural patterns and can articulate the nuanced trade-offs between them
- You can spot technical obstacles that are blocking multiple teams and design solutions that remove those obstacles
- You’ll be able to tackle high-impact & high-risk projects involving many engineers
- You’ll design efficient systems and engineering practices to align with and facilitate interactions between multiple teams/products
- You’ll have the opportunity to mentor other engineers & lead crews (more details in this article)
- You’ll be able to contribute to hiring your future coworkers and shape candidates’ hiring experience (improving our technical assessment process etc...)
- Well-versed in Object Oriented Programming such as Python, Java, C#, and enthusiastic about web technologies such as modern Javascript
- Willing to work in Python/JavaScript (but you don’t need to have experience with those 2 languages!)
- Passionate about building products
- Self-starting and entrepreneurial
- Humble and still willing to grow (no matter your seniority!)
- Collaborative, enthusiastic about teamwork, learning, and teaching
- Fluent in English (no need to speak French!)
What the job involves
- 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
- Focus on High-Impact, Cross-Domain Solutions You work exclusively on blockers that span multiple business domains that are heavily depended upon. This means every solution you build has an impact across multiple teams
- Enable Teams, Don't Replace Them Your job isn't to substitute other teams or globalize everything. Instead, you'll work on technical obstacles that prevent teams from building global-first solutions and work with them to remove those obstacles
- Learn and Share Globalization Patterns As you design and implement global solutions, you'll develop an expertise in globalization patterns. You'll share these learnings with other teams, helping them make better decisions about global vs. local solutions in their own work
