About The Position

We’re looking for problem solvers, innovators, and dreamers who are searching for anything but business as usual. Like us, you’re a high performer who’s an expert at your craft, constantly challenging the status quo. You value inclusivity and want to join a culture that empowers you to show up as your authentic self. You know that success hinges on commitment, that our differences make us stronger, and that the finish line is always sweeter when the whole team crosses together. About the Role The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is a senior, hands-on technical role embedded with Alteryx’s most strategic enterprise customers and partners. Your mission is to make Alteryx One a core part of modern data and AI architectures by turning existing analytics workflows into AI-ready, cloud-native solution patterns that scale through partners. This is not a traditional professional services or slideware architect role. As an FDE, you will design, build, and validate real production systems, then package what works into repeatable patterns that partners can sell and deliver independently.

Requirements

• 7+ years building data, analytics, or platform systems in production
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud data platform (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, or AWS)
• Experience working directly with enterprise customers in a technical, field-facing role
• Strong background in analytics workflows, data pipelines, or analytics engineering
• Comfortable writing production workflows and lightweight code (primarily Python and SQL; APIs as needed)
• Solid understanding of cloud architecture, governance, and cost tradeoffs
• Builder mindset—you prefer shipping real systems over creating slides
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and giving candid technical guidance
• Motivated by scale, reuse, and partner leverage rather than one-off wins

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-ready data architectures using Alteryx One, anchored to cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and AWS
• Convert existing analytics workflows into deployable solution patterns that can be reused across customers
• Deliver lighthouse customer deployments that move from pilot to production in ~90 days
• Partner closely with systems integrators and consulting partners to enable partner-led delivery
• Work alongside Sales Engineers and Product teams to validate solutions in production and provide structured product feedback
• Create documentation, reference architectures, and playbooks so solutions can scale without ongoing FDE involvement
• Technical leadership from architecture → pilot → production → partner handoff
• Architecture decisions for cloud data platform and analytics modernization
• Creation of repeatable patterns that drive faster time-to-value, expansion, and consumption
• Clear exit criteria for every engagement—success is partner-led delivery, not long-term dependency

Benefits

• A monthly Connectivity Plus stipend of $150 to support remote work-related expenses
• An annual $200 home office reimbursement
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid parental leave, caregiver leave, and flexible time off
• Mental health support and wellness reimbursement
• Career development and education assistance
