Job summary

Alteryx is seeking a Staff Developer Platform Engineer to drive infrastructure, pipeline, and deployment excellence across our engineering organizations. This role will own platform tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and progressive delivery in a large, distributed cloud environment.

You'll partner with Developer Platform & Enablement teams, coach engineers on deployment safety, and help scale GitLab usage in GCP/GKE. This is a remote-friendly USA-based position with strong cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

8+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, DevOps/Platform Engineer, or SRE with Staff-level scope.
Deep hands-on experience administering GitLab at scale in a self-hosted ecosystem (GCP/GKE or AWS/EKS/EC2).
Proven experience designing and operating CI/CD pipeline and orchestration systems, including progressive-delivery tooling (Argo Rollouts, Kargo).
Strong track record managing safe deployment, rollback, and recovery processes for large, distributed cloud systems, including database change management.
Solid understanding of Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred).

Responsibilities

Evolve GitLab at scale within GCP/GKE, including governance, permissions, runners, and pipeline infrastructure, as part of our broader Developer Experience and build/release operations.
Design and implement pipeline orchestration and progressive-delivery systems built on Argo Rollouts and Kargo, including auto-promote/auto-rollback patterns.
Partner with our Connectors teams on DevOps for third-party connectors (ODBC and similar), including their build, release, and deployment pipelines.
Contribute to FinSights: developer insights and FinOps tooling and practices.
Design and oversee buildout of deployment and release-safety practices for large, distributed cloud systems, including clear guidance on when it's safe to roll back versus roll forward.
Partner with engineering teams on safe database change management and recovery processes for production systems.
Drive adoption and continuous improvement of quality-of-life toolsets, alongside AI SDLC systems and other developer tooling.
Toolset focuses include: agentic code review systems, internal developer platforms, AI ROI analytics systems, and localdev/ephemeral environment systems.
Build and evangelize self-service tooling that makes safe deployment and recovery practices easy enough for teams to actually adopt and love.
Coach and mentor engineers across teams on deployment safety, pipeline design, and infrastructure best practices.
Collaborate closely with peer Staff Engineers to identify and close coverage gaps across the Developer Platform (and greater Engineering Enablement scope).
Translate architects' longer-range direction on pipeline systems and orchestration into concrete technical plans and hands-on execution.
Bring product-management-adjacent thinking - roadmapping, stakeholder alignment, adoption strategy - to drive org-wide uptake of new platform tooling and practices.
