🌍 International Expansion & New Markets

At Alan, we're on a mission to bring our innovative healthcare model to new countries and scale across Europe and beyond. We're building the foundations for rapid international expansion, creating systems and platforms that can adapt to diverse healthcare markets while maintaining the exceptional experience our members love.

Examples of what you'd work on:

• Build global-first platforms designed for multi-country deployment from day one, creating reusable components and architecture that can be quickly adapted to new markets with different healthcare systems, regulations, and languages
• Launch new countries by designing and shipping core systems for insurance operations, claims processing, member experiences, and provider networks that work across diverse regulatory environments
• Scale payment and billing infrastructure to handle multiple currencies, tax systems, and payment methods while maintaining compliance with local financial regulations
• Design country-agnostic data models that accommodate vast differences in healthcare systems, from network-based models to reimbursement systems, while keeping data consistent and accessible globally
• Create configuration and localization systems that allow new countries to be onboarded in weeks, not months, flexible enough to handle local nuances while maintaining global product standards
• Ship member experiences that feel local while leveraging shared global components, building mobile and web interfaces that adapt seamlessly to different languages, cultures, and healthcare expectations
• Own critical technical decisions as a domain expert, defining how Alan's systems evolve to support 10+ countries while maintaining engineering velocity and system reliability
