Role
Who you are
- Senior-level experience (typically 8+ years) in backend or platform software engineering, or equivalent, with deep production ownership (API and contract design, data modeling, running what you ship)
- You've built and operated platforms, libraries, or services that other engineers depend on, and you care about the contract you expose to them
- You're comfortable operating across many teams and influencing without authority, getting alignment from legal, security, data, and product crews who don't report to you
- You bring pragmatism under constraint: you ship sound, safe solutions and improve them over time, rather than waiting for perfect
- Strong plus: prior privacy, GDPR, or data-governance exposure, and experience working in an enabling or platform-team operating model
- Explicitly not required: deep legal expertise. Legal and security partner with this role; they don't get replaced by it
- You treat platform engineering as product work: engineers and members are your customers, and doing the right thing with their data should feel effortless
- You're hands-on: writing code is the bulk of the job (Python, TypeScript). You ship what you write to production yourself, then operate it: rollouts, alerting, on-call, incident response
- You design and communicate: you're as comfortable writing a framing doc, drawing a dependency map, and aligning several areas on a design decision as you are writing the code
- You're an enabler: you measure your impact by how fast areas run their own data rules without ever consulting you. The harder you've worked, the less they have to engage you
- You build reusable patterns: guardrails, libraries, and safe-by-default abstractions that keep data handling correct and safe by design at scale
- You're fluent in English (French is not required)
- But above all, we are looking for high potential and curiosity: make sure to show us this when you apply! Everything else is a bonus
- 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
- Tech Foundations - enables product crews and creates the environment to thrive, combining world-class infrastructure, intuitive developer experience, exquisite operational excellence, and built-in security to make shipping exceptional products effortless
- Data Foundations - is one of its crews. Its mission: be the enabling and platform team for data lifecycle and privacy engineering across Alan. It builds and runs the GDPR Orchestrator, the shared platform that lets every area manage the lifecycle of member data, privacy-compliant by design, and it equips each area to own its own data rules on top of that platform
- Own and evolve the GDPR Orchestrator (build & run): the platform's core engine, its safety mechanisms (preview/dry-run, audit trail), and its operational health (deploys, on-call, observability). You design the contract areas build on and keep it reliable as adoption grows
- Build the paved road (enable, teach to fish): docs, templates, and self-serve tooling so any of our 15+ areas can plug into the platform and manage its own data rules and dependencies. You coach areas through pairing and syncs; you build the capability rather than doing the work for them
- Coordinate across areas (the cross-area bridge): align legal, security, data, and the data-producing areas on requirements, surface cross-area data dependencies, and resolve design trade-offs between them. You own the coordination; each area stays accountable for its own data and rules
- Push the foundations forward: drive open platform design questions to a conclusion and grow the platform's capabilities as Alan's data, products, and footprint expand
- Focus for 2026
- Own the platform: become the long-term owner of the GDPR Orchestrator and shape the roadmap for how Alan manages data lifecycle at scale
- Raise the bar on the platform: invest in its safety, observability, and developer experience so areas build on it with confidence
- Lay the paved road: ship the docs, templates, and tooling that let areas self-serve, then move ownership of data rules to the areas that produce the data
- Scale the surface: grow the platform's reach across data stores and third-party systems as Alan expands into new countries
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.
