Company mission
To put data and AI to work for the Intelligent Enterprise.
Role
Who you are
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Find yourself checking a lot of these boxes but doubting whether you should apply? At Alteryx, we support a growth mindset for our associates through all stages of their careers. If you meet some of the requirements and you share our values, we encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- Success in this role is measured by what reaches production, what scales, and what continues without your direct involvement
- 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
- Design architectures, workflows, and deployment models that are reused across customers
- Establish repeatable patterns that become reference implementations
- Hand off solutions to systems integrators and consulting partners with clear ownership and exit criteria
- Ensure partners can sell, implement, and extend solutions independently
- Reduce time-to-production for analytics and AI initiatives
- Deliver measurable impact, including cost reduction, faster insights, and improved operational efficiency
- Provide clear, structured feedback based on live deployments
- Influence roadmap and product direction by validating solutions in production
- At Alteryx, you’ll work on real customer problems at the intersection of data platforms, analytics, and AI—while shaping how our product shows up in enterprise architectures around the world. You’ll have direct impact on customers, partners, and product direction, all while building solutions that scale
- The Forward Deployed Engineer role is for builders, not advisors. If you want to own production outcomes and help define how enterprises operationalize analytics and AI, we’d love to hear from you
Our take
Alteryx brings a suite of tools to automate data driven processes on a large scale, massively speeding up data based procedures. The system also uses AI to analyse data and provide insights to enable rapid decision making.
What Alteryx does differently from other data science tool developers is focus on the accessibility of its software, taking a low code/no code approach. This allows for greater collaboration between people with differing skill sets, speeding up processes for its users.
The business has made some strategic partnerships over time, most notably with Snowflake and Blue Prism. And with AI becoming more, Alteryx is projected to make major inroads in its market as more companies turn to automated solutions for data analysis.
