Role
Who you are
- 3+ years leading engineering teams, with a track record of building high performers
- You partner with other product functions as a true equal: you shape the roadmap, name trade-offs honestly, and help the team commit to what it can actually deliver
- Experience establishing engineering excellence standards, with the ability to guide architectural decisions
- Experience with modern development practices and AI-assisted development tools
- Recent hands-on experience. You still review code, and you still write some
- Curious, self-starting, humble, collaborative, and eager to grow
- You develop people as much as you develop products
- Fluent in English (French is a plus but not required)
- Healthcare technology and innovation excite you
- You understand that great engineering teams are built on psychological safety and continuous learning
- 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
What the job involves
- Alan has spent 10 years developing a distinctive way of working: radical transparency, written culture, distributed decision-making, no managers, no meetings by default
- This wasn't just philosophy. It was a deliberate architectural choice, and it made Alan one of the most productive companies in European tech
- Now, agentic AI empowers us to make it much more personalized. The principles that made Alan productive become the foundation for a much more ambitious journey: a company where AI agents handle organizational complexity, surface the right context instantly, and let every person focus on the work that matters
- The Work Environment area builds that. Alaners are our users, and our internal platform is a Tier-1 product. The team is small and growing fast, and you'll lead its engineering
- What you'll build and who you'll work with:
- Alan Home, the portal every Alaner opens first. The internal Operating System and the source of truth for who's who and who has access to what
- The rails the company runs on. Our automation platform, Identity & Access Management, Privileged Access Management, and user lifecycle automation across 25+ systems
- Alan-native software instead of generic SaaS. Where a vendor forces Alan into someone else's way of working, we replace it, internalize and build our own. You'll hold the bar on which replacements earn their place, with a written case and a real ROI
- 🧑 A growing team. You'll hire it, shape it, and decide what it works on. Talent density, onboarding, feedback, and the mix of skills the area needs are yours to own
- ️ Technical direction and operational excellence. Architecture calls, quality standards, security practices, and incident response for systems that every single Alaner depends on. And you stay hands-on: at Alan, engineering leaders are expected to build
- Why this role is special:
- Dual impact: Shape both technical excellence and team growth, 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
- Your users sit next to you. Every Alaner uses what your team ships, every day. The feedback loop between building and impact is very short, which allows you to iterate and move quickly
Our take
Alan addresses health insurance for businesses and employees in Europe through a healthcare app, backed by official regulatory approval. This endorsement grants Alan the ability to offer a wide range of regulated healthcare insurance services, distinguishing itself in the market.
Focused on user experience and customer satisfaction, Alan employs a people-centric approach, streamlining insurance claims and designing user-friendly health insurance products. While competitors like Babylon and Ada Health exist, Alan's primary focus on health insurance sets it apart.
Despite macroeconomic challenges prompting a goal realignment, Alan achieved significant revenue growth in 2023 and reached a valuation of $4.5 billion in late 2024. This was driven by impressive funding rounds and an expansion of its client base, leveraging AI tools for enhanced productivity. With a robust cash revenue, Alan plans to sustain growth, consolidate its position in the existing markets, and explore expansion into new territories, positioning itself for a potential future IPO.
