Overview:

Alteryx is modernizing its cloud platform to power next-gen enterprise analytics and AI. We're seeking a Principal Cloud Platform Architect to define the technical vision for our multi-tenant, multi-cloud infrastructure — leading cross-cutting initiatives across infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, security, and product engineering. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set architectural standards, drive major modernization efforts, and ensure the platform scales securely and reliably.

What You'll Work On:

• Cloud Platform Modernization— Define the long-term multi-cloud, multi-region architecture; lead migrations and drive cloud-native adoption.

• Kubernetes & Platform Infrastructure— Architect shared platform services (networking, compute, storage, APIs) for scalable SaaS.

• Reliability & Operational Excellence — Partner with SRE on availability, disaster recovery, and observability; design for fault tolerance and capacity.

• Cross-Platform Architecture— Set standards and patterns across services, APIs, and deployment models; guide teams through modernization.

• Platform Enablement— Improve CI/CD and developer tooling with Platform Engineering; make infrastructure easily consumable by product teams.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Own the long-term architecture for Alteryx's cloud platform, driving migrations and modernization initiatives.

• Proven track record architecting large-scale, multi-region, multi-tenant cloud-native SaaS platforms.

• Deep expertise in distributed systems, Kubernetes, and containerized platforms.

• Strong experience with GCP (preferred), AWS, or Azure.

• Solid grasp of cloud networking (load balancing, service discovery, ingress, DNS, service mesh) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar).

• Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog).

• Strong coding skills in Java, Python, Go, or similar.

• Excellent communication and consensus-building skills across engineering orgs.

Valued Skills:

• Leading enterprise cloud migrations or IDP/platform engineering builds.

• Experience with AI, analytics, or large-scale data platforms.

• Cloud security, governance, or compliance experience.
