About Alan
Alan exists to end the wait in healthcare. We are building the new standard in prevention insurance, integrating insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience. We partner with 40K+ companies and serve more than 1M+ members.
The Engineering Team
In our engineering team, we build the infrastructure, interfaces, and applications to provide first-class service to our members, health professionals, and even ourselves. We move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems. Our process is simple: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. We deploy daily and believe in distributed ownership: you build it, you own it.
The Agentic Platform Area
Our mission is to make it cheap, fast, and safe for every Alaner or crew to build, run, and improve agentic products and workflows. We own the environment agents run in (infrastructure, runtime, evaluation, observability, skills lifecycle), with security, privacy, and compliance by design.
