Alteryx is searching for a Principal, Platform Architect . This position is remote-friendly.

Position Overview:

Alteryx is evolving its cloud platform to support large-scale, multi-tenant workloads, extensibility through customer code and connectors, and a high-quality developer experience.

We are looking for a Platform Architect to lead cross-cutting architectural initiatives that span the entire software stack—from platform capabilities to application integration.

This role is focused on driving system-wide evolution, not just designing isolated components. You will define architecture, lead major transitions (e.g., cloud migrations, platform shifts), and work across teams to ensure consistent, scalable outcomes.

You will combine architectural leadership with hands-on execution—partnering with product, platform, and infrastructure teams to turn complex changes into concrete, deliverable systems.

What You’ll Work On:

You will lead high-impact, cross-team initiatives such as:

Platform migrations and transformations

Leading efforts like cloud migrations (e.g., AWS → GCP), evolving architecture while ensuring continuity across all product and platform teams

Cross-platform architecture alignment

Defining how services, APIs, and platform capabilities evolve consistently across teams

Developer experience and SDLC evolution

Partnering with internal platform teams to define requirements for CI/CD, testing, deployment, and developer workflows

System-wide design and integration

Ensuring that platform changes are correctly adopted across services, with clear contracts and minimal friction

Primary Responsibilities:

Drive cross-cutting architectural initiatives

Lead large-scale efforts that impact multiple teams and systems (e.g., migrations, re-architectures, platform shifts)

Assess impact across the full software ecosystem and define clear execution strategies

Break down complex transitions into actionable plans across teams

Bridge platform, infrastructure, and product teams

Translate infrastructure or platform changes into concrete requirements for application teams

Partner with SDLC / DevEx teams to define to
