Data, automation, and AI are quickly becoming the center of every business decision - and Alteryx is leading the transformation.\nYou'll be working on the challenges that sit at the heart of modern business. No matter your role, the work you do will help organizations move faster, see more clearly, and tackle questions that used to feel impossible.\nIf you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here.\nSenior Software Engineer - Orchestration & Job Execution (Cloud Platform)\nAlteryx is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our cloud platform engineering team. In this role, you will help design, build, operate, and evolve backend services that coordinate how work moves through Alteryx Cloud. You will work on platform capabilities related to orchestration, job execution, workflow runtime services, and reliable service-to-service coordination. This is a senior engineering role for someone comfortable owning complex production systems end to end. You should be able to reason about distributed systems, asynchronous processing, reliability, observability, failure modes, and operational tradeoffs. You will partner with platform, product, security, QE, and application teams to make cloud platform capabilities reliable, understandable, and safe to operate at scale. The role is backend-heavy and involves building APIs, services, workers, libraries, and runtime infrastructure. You will work with modern cloud-native systems and technologies such as TypeScript/Node.js, relational databases, messaging or queueing systems, event-driven architecture, containers, Kubernetes, and observability tooling.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and deliver backend services, APIs, workers, and shared libraries that power cloud platform capabilities.\nBuild and improve systems for orchestrating work across services, including job submission, execution tracking, status propagation, retries, cancellation, results, and operational visibility.\nDevelop reliable asynchronous and event-driven systems using queues, messaging, background workers, and durable state.\nWork on distributed execution flows across platform services, including service-to-service communication, routing, acknowledgements, and failure recovery.\nBuild and maintain cloud-native runtime infrastructure using containers, Kubernetes, deployment automation, and related platform tooling.\nIntegrate platform services with persistence layers, event streams, REST APIs, and internal service contracts.\nImprove production reliability through metrics, tracing, structured logging, health checks, dashboards, alerting, runbooks, and incident follow-up.\nLead technical design for ambiguous or cross-service work, review code with a systems mindset, and mentor engineers on distributed-system and production-engineering practices.\nCollaborate with partner teams to turn product requirements into incremental, testable, and operable platform capabilities.\nUse AI and modern development tools to improve engineering productivity, code quality, and delivery speed.\nWhat We’re Looking For\n4+ years of professional software development experience, with meaningful ownership of production backend services, cloud platform capabilities, or distributed systems.\nStrong experience building backend services, APIs, shared libraries, or long-running workers using TypeScript, Node.js, or comparable backend technologies.\nExperience designing and operating asynchronous, queue-driven, or event-driven systems, including patterns such as retries, cancellation, idempotency, concurrency, ordering, timeouts, and failure handling.\nExperience working with durable persistence, service contracts, RESTful APIs, and integrations across multiple services or platform components.\nExperience with cloud-native production systems, including containers, Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms, service health, scaling behavior, and operational debugging.\nStrong production engineering practices, including testing, observability, structured logging, metrics, tracing, incident response, and continuous reliability improvement.\nAbility to lead design discussions, communicate technical tradeoffs clearly, mentor other engineers, and drive cross-team work through ambiguity with an ownership-oriented mindset.\nNice to Have\nExperience with workflow engines, orchestration systems, job runners, task execution platforms, or runtime infrastructure.\nExperience with Kubernetes deployment patterns, GitOps, multi-cluster environments, cloud platform operations, or infrastructure automation.\nExperience with messaging systems, event contracts, schema management, asynchronous notification pipelines, or distributed service coordination.\nExperience with real-time communication, long-lived connections, service-to-service messaging, or coordination across unreliable networks.\nExperience with secure service-to-service authentication, token handling, secrets management, authorization boundaries, or customer-scoped execution contexts.\nExperience with log collection, log streaming, distributed workload observability, operational dashboards, or production support tooling.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\nSuccess Looks Like\nWithin 30-60 days, you understand the cloud platform architecture, can trace work across key services, and are shipping focused improvements with clear tests and operational awareness.\nWithin 90+ days, you are owning senior-level workstreams across service boundaries, improving reliability and debuggability, leading design decisions, and helping the team make platform behavior safer, clearer, and easier to operate.\nOver time, you become a go-to engineer for distributed execution and orchestration patterns across Alteryx Cloud, raising the bar for platform correctness, production maturity, and cross-team delivery.\nCompensation:\nAlteryx is committed to fair, equitable, and transparent compensation.\nThe salary range for this role varies based on the geographic location of the position. The ranges below represent the expected base salary for candidates hired in the applicable locations:\n Zone A: New York (statewide), Arlington, VA, Northern California, Washington, DC, Massachusetts (statewide), and Seattle, WA - $130,000-$175,000\nZone B: All other U.S. locations - $120,000-$160,000\nActual compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including the candidate’s skills, experience, qualifications, geographic location, and other business and organizational considerations.\nEmployees may also be eligible for a wide range of other benefits, such as a bonus or commission, medical, retirement, financial, wellness, time off, employee discounts, and others.\nInterested?
