Fullstack Software Engineer (x/f/m) - Payroll & Benefits Platform for HR

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.

• 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.

When companies choose Alan, HR teams are the ones making it happen: enrolling employees, managing payroll contributions, and handling billing. Our mission is to make these processes frictionless, reliable, and even delightful.

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will:

• Engineer our employee affiliation engine: reliably process thousands of lifecycle events daily.

• Simplify payroll and billing: craft tools that HR teams love 💙.

• Build seamless integrations: connect with platforms like Payfit and Workday so things "just work."

• Automate workflows at scale: adapt solutions to companies of all sizes across multiple countries.

• Make billing delightful: ensure invoices are accurate, reliable, and easy to manage.

• Collaborate across teams: partner with product, design, and ops to deliver a unified experience.

• Work on mission-critical systems powering Alan's growth and renewals.

• Impact hundreds of thousands of lives, making it simple for companies to use Alan.

• Solve complex business and technical puzzles, while maintaining our "uncompromising simplicity" principle.

• Shape product direction and experience, not just ship code.

• Join a team obsessed with engineering excellence and continuous learning.

• Stack: Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL.

• What you'll do: ship solutions that handle high complexity and scale across multiple countries, collaborating closely with product and design teams.

• Impact: your work touches core business operations and enables hundreds of thousands of employees to benefit from Alan every day.

• You may ultimately join the part of the engineering organization where you can have the most impact.
