Meet the Moment with Alteryx
We're living through a once-in-a-generation shift in how work gets done. Data, automation, and AI are quickly becoming the center of every business decision - and Alteryx is leading the transformation.
You'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.
If you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here.
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.
What You’ll Do
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
What You’ll Own
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
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role is measured by what reaches production, what scales, and what continues without your direct involvement.
Ship production systems
Move enterprise customers from existing analytics workflows to AI-ready, cloud-native architectures built on Alteryx One
Take solutions from pilot to production in ~90 days
Create scalable solution patterns
Design architectures, workflows, and deployment models that are reused across customers
Establish repeatable patterns that become reference implementations
Enable partner-led delivery
Hand off solutions to systems integrators and consulting partners with clear ownership and exit criteria
Ensure partners can sell, implement, and extend solutions independently
Drive faster customer outcomes
Reduce time-to-production for analytics and AI initiatives
Deliver measurable impact, including cost reduction, faster insights, and improved operational efficiency
Shape the product with real-world evidence
Provide clear, structured feedback based on live deployments
Influence roadmap and product direction by validating solutions in production
What You Bring
Experience
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
Technical Skills
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
Ways of Working
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
