The role

Summary

Join Alan's Paris Recruitment Day on June 2nd, 2026, for an exclusive end-of-studies Software Engineering Internship. This 6-month internship offers hands-on experience building vertically integrated healthcare technology that serves over a million members across Europe. You'll work with a product-minded engineering team that values distributed ownership, rapid deployment, and real user impact, requiring prior production deployment experience and willingness to work with Python and JavaScript in a fast-moving startup environment.

What you'll do

Build Full-Stack Features: Develop and deploy both frontend and backend features that directly impact Alan's member-centric healthcare platform, working across JavaScript for user interfaces and Python for backend services in a production environment.
Own End-to-End Product Development: Take ownership of features from conception through production deployment, contributing to daily releases and experiencing the full development lifecycle in a distributed ownership model where you build it and own it.
Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams: Work alongside product, design, and engineering colleagues to solve complex healthcare integration challenges while maintaining high standards for code quality and user experience.
Contribute to Infrastructure and Interfaces: Participate in building robust infrastructure, APIs, and user interfaces that support Alan's healthcare platform serving tens of thousands of companies and over a million members across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada.
Iterate on Real User Feedback: Implement improvements based on feedback from real users including members, health professionals, and internal stakeholders, developing product instinct and understanding the healthcare domain.
Participate in Knowledge Sharing: Engage in code reviews, technical discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions with experienced engineers to accelerate learning and contribute to the team's collective growth.

What we look for

Technical

Full-Stack Production ExperienceDemonstrated experience deploying frontend and backend code to production for real users, showing comfort working across the entire technology stack and understanding of deployment processes.
Language FlexibilityWillingness to work with Python and JavaScript; prior experience with these languages is not required but demonstrates the ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt to team tech stacks.
Software Engineering FundamentalsSolid understanding of core programming concepts, data structures, algorithms, and ability to write clean, maintainable code with attention to best practices.
Problem-Solving MindsetAbility to break down complex problems, think through edge cases, and propose scalable solutions in a fast-paced environment with diverse technical challenges.

Education

Master's Degree CompletionCurrently enrolled in the final year of a Master's degree (or equivalent) at a university or engineering school, with ability to obtain university agreement for end-of-studies internship status.
Technical BackgroundUndergraduate or graduate-level coursework in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, physics, or related technical discipline providing foundational knowledge.

Experience

Prior Internship ExperienceAt least one previous internship or structured work experience in a software development role, demonstrating understanding of professional coding standards and team collaboration.
Side Project DevelopmentEvidence of personal coding projects, open-source contributions, or hackathon participation that demonstrates initiative, self-directed learning, and passion for building technology.
Product-Oriented DevelopmentExperience thinking about and building features from a product perspective, considering user needs and impact rather than technical implementation alone.

Skills

Required skills

JavaScript/Frontend DevelopmentProficiency or strong willingness to learn JavaScript, including modern frameworks and frontend development practices for building user interfaces.
Python/Backend DevelopmentComfort working with Python or willingness to quickly adopt it for backend development, API design, and server-side engineering.
