Alan - Senior Platform Engineer (x/f/m) - Backend Platform

• 5+ years of backend engineering, with code other teams depend on: libraries, frameworks, pipelines, internal platforms. You ran it in production and owned it. • Distributed systems as a daily tool: events and messaging (delivery guarantees, ordering, idempotence, retries), data replication, consistency, transactions. • PostgreSQL in depth: transactions, locks, replication, query plans. • You have split a monolith or built services, step by step, while production kept running. • You measure before you optimise, and you set SLOs and alerts for what you own. • English working proficiency. French is not required. • Mindset we value • Product mindset. Product teams are your customers. Adoption is how you measure success. • Enabler. You build things others use on their own, instead of doing the work for them. • You write to think and align. Short framing docs and decision records are how this team works with the rest of engineering. • Influence without authority. You get other teams to change how they build, with no reporting line. • Incremental. One pilot first, then the playbook. No big-bang rewrites. • Strong plus: you worked in a platform team that served product teams · event-driven architecture at scale · CDC or logical replication · async Python (asyncio, FastAPI) · multi-region or data residency · health, payments or other regulated data. • Not required: frontend · Kubernetes and cluster operations · database administration · LLM or AI expertise. Other teams own those. • Mission alignment • Healthcare technology excites you. • Leveraging AI to redefine our roles and unlock scalability. • For this opportunity, we are aiming to hire at D level https://medium.com/alan/a-new-iteration-of-our-engineering-career-path-at-alan-f46f7b229b2d or above. These are senior individual-contributor seats. Your leverage comes from technical depth and from how many teams use what you build. • 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. • Location: You must be legally eligible to work in France, Belgium, or Spain. • Remote work: We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in-person collaboration. • 🎯 IMPORTANT NOTE: WE HIRE PEOPLE, NOT ROLES. • If you're excited about this opportunity but don't check every box, we'd love to hear from you.
