Job Description

• Members first. We put our members first, our team second, our shareholders third.
• Radical Transparency. We make all choices in writing and adopt a direct and honest style of communication.
• Personal & Team Growth. We are self-improving whilst helping others grow. We’re no ego-doers and we all edit the company.
• Distributed Ownership. We trust our colleagues to make the right choices. We are not afraid to fail fast individually to learn collectively in the long run.
• Fearless ambition. We shoot for the moon and work backwards. We focus on solving complex problems with simple principles far from ready made ideas.

 Is it you we’re looking for?

We are looking for engineers with 3+ years of experience to help us scale our Engineering community from different perspectives (product, tech, and internal organization-wise):

• You’ll be able to tackle high-impact & high-risk projects involving many engineers.
• You'll design efficient systems and engineering practices to align with and facilitate interactions between multiple teams/products.
• You’ll have the opportunity to mentor other engineers & lead crews (more details in this article).
• You'll be able to contribute to hiring your future coworkers and shape candidates' hiring experience (improving our technical assessment process etc...)

You would be a good fit at Alan if most of this sounds like you:

• Well-versed in Object Oriented Programming such as Python, Java, C#, and enthusiastic about web technologies such as modern Javascript.
• Willing to work in Python/JavaScript (but you don't need to have experience with those 2 languages!).
• Passionate about building products.
• Self-starting and entrepreneurial.
• Humble and still willing to grow (no matter your seniority!).
• Collaborative, enthusiastic about teamwork, learning, and teaching.
• Fluent in English (no need to speak French!).

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.
