Enabling Global-First product development – In Alan's early expansion, we made a strategic decision to create separate codebases for each country we ventured into. This approach allowed us to quickly adapt and tailor our applications to meet the unique healthcare and regulatory requirements of France, Belgium, Spain, and Canada. In 2024, we reached a crucial point where it was essential to merge these codebases into global, configurable modules. Yet, writing local code is still easier than building global solutions. The Global Architecture team is central to this transformation – our goal is to enable any team at Alan to develop and launch features seamlessly across markets, as outlined in our 2025 technical strategy. Your mission Design Cross-Cutting Modules – You'll transform country-specific implementations into elegant global components that will become the new building blocks of other teams to build global features. Remove Technical Blockers for Product Teams – You’ll tackle technical blockers that cut across several domains and eliminate the need for team-specific workarounds, allowing product teams to focus on their core business. Orchestrate Data Transformations – You'll implement strategies to harmonize different countries' data models without losing local flexibility and consolidate existing data into unified schemas. Build and Own What You Create – You'll be responsible for the entire lifecycle of your solutions, from initial design through long-term maintenance. We don't just design – we build, deploy, and maintain what we create. Why This Role Matters Focus on High-Impact, Cross-Domain Solutions – You work exclusively on blockers that span multiple business domains that are heavily depended upon. This means every solution you build has an impact across multiple teams. Enable Teams, Don't Replace Them – Your job isn't to substitute other teams or globalize everything. Instead, you'll work on technical obstacles that prevent teams from building global-first solutions and work with them to remove those obstacles. Learn and Share Globalization Patterns – As you design and implement global solutions, you'll develop an expertise in globalization patterns. You'll share these learnings with other teams, helping them make better decisions about global vs. local solutions in their own work. What we're looking for You write code and maintain what you build. At Alan there is no architect in an ivory tower, we implement what we design. You’re able to navigate complex systems spanning multiple business domains and technical boundaries. You’ve worked with diverse architectural patterns and can articulate the nuanced trade-offs between them.
