Not for a six‑month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can’t.\n\nAlan exists to end the wait.\n\nFounded in Senegal in 2022, Tanel is the first digital health insurer in French-speaking West Africa. It operates in Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire, transforming a market dominated by paper-based processes and fragmented legacy players.\n\nWith more than 30,000 members, a network of over 1,200 healthcare providers and more than 400 pharmacies, as well as revenue that grew sevenfold in 2025, Tanel has demonstrated strong product-market fit in countries that were ready for a revolution in healthcare insurance.\n\nIn 2026, Alan, the European leader in prevention-focused health insurance, acquired Tanel to accelerate its expansion across the African continent. Alan serves more than one million members across France, Belgium, Spain and Canada, and generates more than €950 million in revenue.\n\nTogether, we are building the leading health insurance company in French-speaking West Africa, with the ambition of reaching $200 million in revenue by 2030.\n\nTHE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS\n\nWe bring together the best of both organisations: Tanel’s deep understanding of the local market, strong local relationships and trusted reputation, alongside Alan’s leading technology platform, actuarial expertise and experience operating across multiple countries.\n\n⭐ THE ENGINEERING TEAM ⭐\n\nWithin our Engineering team, we build the infrastructure, interfaces and applications that allow us to deliver a first-class service to our members, healthcare providers and internal teams.\n\nBeing an engineer at Alan means joining a team of talented, committed and passionate engineers, with a strong connection to product.\n\nWe move quickly, with a high level of ownership and autonomy, and we are proud to tackle complex problems.\n\nOur way of working is simple: the people who make product decisions are also the people who build the solutions.\n\nOur technology stack includes Python/Flask, React, React Native and PostgreSQL.\n\nWant to learn more?
