What they need
- 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 tooling, workflows, and developer-facing capabilities
- Ensure platform capabilities are usable, adoptable, and well-integrated
- Enable execution across teams:
- Support teams during major transitions by providing guidance, patterns, and hands-on help
- Identify and remove blockers that slow down adoption or delivery
- Step in when needed to prototype or validate key parts of the system
- Drive alignment and decision-making:
- Align multiple teams around shared architectural direction
- Drive clear, pragmatic decisions in ambiguous and evolving environments
- Communicate trade-offs and ensure consistent understanding across stakeholders- Strong ability to make trade-offs across teams, systems, and timelines
- Experience building and evolving complex distributed systems across multiple teams
- Hands-on mindset
- Experience leading large-scale technical changes
- Platform and infrastructure understanding
- Strong communication and ability to work across diverse technical domains
- Strong software engineering background
- Able to translate infrastructure concerns into software architecture decisions
- Proven track record of driving migrations or cross-cutting initiatives (e.g., cloud
- Cross-team leadership
- Migration, architecture evolution)
- Proven ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across organizations
- Ability to reason about system interactions, APIs, and integration points at scale
- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (GCP preferred), Kubernetes, and distributed systems
- Experience working in ambiguous environments with evolving constraints
- Ability to assess impact across many services and teams
- Architectural judgment
- Willing to engage directly with systems and teams to unblock progress and validate ideas
- Experience defining internal platform standards or developer workflows
- Background in data platforms or analytics systems
- Familiarity with internal developer platforms (IDPs)
- If you meet some of the requirements and you share our values, we encourage you to apply
