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.\nTitle: Software Engineer - Orchestration & Job Execution (Cloud Platform)\nAlteryx is looking for a Software Engineer to join our cloud platform engineering team, with a focus on orchestration, job execution, workflow runtime services, and shared control-plane/data-plane capabilities. 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. 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. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who writes modular, readable, and performant code, understands trade-offs in time, complexity, and maintainability, and leverages AI to improve productivity. You should be comfortable learning existing systems, designing small features, writing clear tests, and debugging behavior across services with guidance from experienced engineers. You will partner with platform, product, security, quality, and application teams to make orchestration and job execution capabilities reliable, understandable, and secure.\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.\nParticipate constructively in code reviews, identify common bugs and style issues, and apply feedback to improve the quality of your work.\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\n2+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining production software, or equivalent practical experience.\nExperience building backend services, APIs, or background workers and writing modular, readable, and performant code independently, preferably using TypeScript and Node.js.\nExperience owning feature-level work with moderate ambiguity, including basic design of small-to-medium systems or APIs and independent decisions within feature scope.\nUnderstanding of asynchronous and distributed processing concepts such as task dependencies, state transitions, retries, cancellation, idempotency, concurrency, and timeouts.\nExperience working with durable persistence, service integrations, and modern development and deployment practices, with the ability to investigate issues using logs, metrics, and existing operational tools.\nExperience writing effective unit and integration tests and applying basic quality, reliability, and security practices.\nClear communication, realistic estimation, and an ownership mindset. You can collaborate with partner teams, communicate progress and blockers, and follow work through implementation, testing, rollout, and production support.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\nNice to Have\nFamiliarity with task and workflow orchestration concepts, including task graphs, dependencies, pluggable task types, or flexible job specifications.\nExposure to job lifecycle concepts such as registering work, submitting jobs, handling cancellation and timeouts, and returning status or results.\nExposure to workloads that run across multiple environments, including deployment, scaling, or cross-service coordination concerns.\nFamiliarity with asynchronous processing concepts such as queues, retries, polling, or worker coordination.\nExposure to using logs, metrics, dashboards, or other operational tools to understand workload behavior and help troubleshoot issues.\nSuccess Looks Like\nWithin 30-60 days, you understand the core orchestration and job execution architecture, can trace a job or task across the services you support, and are shipping focused improvements with clear tests and operational awareness.\nWithin 90+ days, you are independently delivering feature-level work, contributing realistic estimates and design input, improving reliability and debuggability, and becoming a dependable contributor to the team's orchestration and job execution work.\nOver time, you own features and services in production, help onboard and mentor newer engineers, and become a trusted team-level contributor for job execution and orchestration patterns across Alteryx Cloud.\nAlteryx is committed to fair, equitable, and transparent compensation. Final compensation will be determined by various factors such as your relevant work experience, education, certifications, skills, and geographic location.\nThe salary range for this role in the United States is $105,000 - $140,000.\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.\nFind yourself checking a lot of these boxes but doubting whether you should apply? At Alteryx, we support a growth mindset for our associates through all stages of their careers. If you meet some of the requirements and you share our values, we encourage you to apply. As part of our ongoing commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, we’re invested in building teams with a wide variety of backgrounds, identities, and experiences.\nBenefits & Perks:\nAlteryx has amazing benefits for all Associates which can be viewed here.\nFor roles in San Francisco and Los Angeles: Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring, Alteryx will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.\nThis position involves access to software/technology that is subject to U.S. export controls. Any job offer made will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7560,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Integration & ETL Tools","Data Science & Notebook Platforms"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T04:08:20Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 8 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":8,"filings_prev_12m":9,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":185833,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":4}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":140000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alteryx-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alteryx-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T02:25:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4456,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":544,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4949},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4949"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falteryx-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falteryx-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falteryx-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/alteryx-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falteryx-software-engineer"}]}
