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. We’re looking for a Staff Python Software Engineer who thrives on solving tough problems — not just building new features but understanding why systems behave the way they do and how to make them better. You’ll dig into legacy code, untangle complexity, and modernize critical systems while keeping business continuity intact. If you’ve ever looked at an old codebase and thought, “Challenge accepted,” you’ll feel right at home here.

  • Dive deep into existing Python and legacy systems — debug, refactor, and elevate code quality without breaking what works.
  • Design and implement scalable backend services and APIs.
  • Analyze performance bottlenecks and drive measurable improvements.
  • Collaborate across engineering, data, and product teams to modernize architecture and streamline deployments.
  • Lead and mentor engineers in problem-solving, debugging, and sustainable design patterns.
  • Shape system design decisions and drive modernization efforts with pragmatism and technical rigor.
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience , ideally across multiple system generations.
  • Expert-level Python skills — you know your way around async, profiling, and clean architecture.
  • Experience with extending and embedding the CPython interpreter
  • Strong debugging instincts — you don’t guess; you diagnose.
  • Experience with refactoring or migrating legacy systems (monolith to modular/microservices).
  • Solid understanding of data modeling, APIs, and performance optimization.
  • Familiarity with modern cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset — you build trust through clarity and delivery.
  • C++ experience , especially with system-level integrations or bridging legacy components into Python.
  • Background in analytics, ETL pipelines, or high-performance data processing.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Open-source contributions or a track record of improving developer tooling.
  • You’ll own big, messy, meaningful problems — and the space to solve them your way.
  • Work with seasoned engineers who value curiosity, craftsmanship, and straight talk.
  • Competitive pay, flexible work options, and a culture that prioritizes autonomy and impact.
  • Employees may also be eligible for a wide range of other benefits, including medical, retirement, financial, wellness, time off, employee discounts, and others.
  • Alteryx has amazing benefits for all Associates which can be viewed here .
