🐼 Who we are

You. Better. With Alan.

Alan's vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all. Our mission is to help people live in good health to 100 while helping employers feel proud, turning health benefits from a cost centre into their most valuable investment.

🛠️ The Stack

Python/Flask, React, React Native, PostgreSQL in a monorepo. We deploy daily and believe in distributed ownership - you build it, you own it.

🤖 The Tech Foundations area

🎯 Mission: Tech Foundations enables product crews and creates the environment to thrive—combining world-class infrastructure, intuitive developer experience, exquisite operational excellence, and built-in security to make shipping exceptional products effortless.

🔭 Scope:

  1. Infrastructure enablement for product crews (e.g. hosting improvements, CI/CD, scalability, multi-cloud architecture)

  2. Security and compliance facilitation (e.g. authentication, encryption, threat protection)

  3. Developer productivity enhancements (e.g. local environment setup, monorepo tooling, observability, tech stack evolution)

  4. Design and development unification (e.g. design system, accessibility)

  5. AI-assisted engineering enablement (e.g. agentic development, code assistants, MCP servers)

👀 Focus for 2026:

In 2026, we will grow the team significantly to further increase our impact. We want to expand our cloud footprint with a revisited multi-cloud strategy as we expand internationally, while we’re elevating the quality bar, from infrastructure to code foundations (backend/frontend/mobile). We are also evolving our AI-augmented development, by putting AI code assistants as a first-class citizen for everyone, including non-engineers. Ultimately we have massive ambitions around our Security stack and posture with enhanced tools and processes to protect our developers and users.
