- You have strong experience with cloud platforms (especially AWS)
- You have experience with monitoring, alerting, and observability tools
- You're comfortable writing code for automation and tooling
- You have some experience as a Full-Stack or Backend software engineer
- Willing to work in Python/JavaScript (but you don’t need to have experience with those 2 languages!)
- You understand modern deployment practices and CI/CD
- You're able to debug complex system issues
- 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
- 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

- Scope:
- Infrastructure enablement for product crews (e.g. hosting improvements, CI/CD, ...)
- Security and compliance facilitation (e.g. authentication, database anonymization...)
- Developer productivity enhancements (e.g. local environment setup, monorepo tooling, custom CLI and dashboards ...)
- Design and development unification (e.g. Design System, ...)
- In 2025, we will grow the team significantly to further increase our impact. We want to improve the quality of our foundations, from Infrastructure to code foundations (backend/frontend/mobile)
- We also have ambitions around our Security stack (authentication in particular) and enhanced tools and processes for developers
- While you’re applying for a particular area, please note that you may ultimately join a different part of our engineering organization, depending on where we believe you will have the most impact
- You’ll be able to tackle high-impact & high-risk projects involving many engineers
- You'll design and implement robust infrastructure systems with a focus on reliability and observability
- You'll maintain our uptime targets while optimizing infrastructure costs
- You'll improve our incident management processes and lead post-mortems
