You. Better. With Alan.
Alan is building a vertically integrated health partner that unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one seamless system. Our vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all.
Our mission: Help people live in good health to 100 while helping employers feel proud, turning health benefits from a cost centre into their most valuable investment.
By connecting all aspects of care (private, public, and direct to consumer) we create the most member-centric healthcare experience, reducing claims costs while generating new monetization opportunities.
We partner with tens of thousands of companies across France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Canada 🇨🇦, serving over a million members.
How we work: our Leadership Principles
- Mission is the Boss — We think long-term and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else.
- Distributed Ownership — Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results.
- Radical Transparency — All information is accessible and written-first, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously.
- Always Growing — Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with self-growth ownership.
🎯 The mission & impact
Our system defines what Insurance coverage (health or life & disability) our members get, with a high level of customization:
- we equip our Sales team with tools to craft these offers, price them, and contractualize them in one go. We also power our self-serve subscription flow.
- Over time, we manage our contract lifecycles, making sure they are always up-to-date in terms of legal requirements and responsible consumption best practices, and at equilibrium in terms of loss ratio.
- Alan's claim engine, billing system and many other part of our stack relies on the offers we build to deliver a pristine experience to our members.
🚀 What you'll build and who you’ll work with
- Next-Gen Healthcare Framework: 4 countries (and more to come), multiple products (Insurance but also several other healthcare products) but one system. Come build the contract & service stack that will power Alan’s growth for the next 10 years.
- AI-powered Acquisition Engine: Sales teams are autonomous & assisted by AI to customize coverage, compute pricing, and generate contracts in real-time. No need for actuaries, no more waiting days for quotes.
- Automated Renewal System: Automatically reviews and adjusts coverage for our entire portfolio annually, accounting for legal changes, consumption trends, and economic shifts.
You'll work closely with insurance experts, business specialist, sales teams, and collaborate with other eng teams across Alan. We're the bridge between complex regulations and simple user experiences.
