About the role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a platform engineering team responsible for foundational services that product and engineering teams rely on to build, ship, and operate Alteryx products.
This role is accountable for developing engineers, improving execution discipline, and delivering reliable, maintainable platform capabilities at scale.
You will partner closely with Product, Architecture, Security, SRE, and engineering leaders to turn strategy into clear plans, manage tradeoffs and dependencies, and balance near-term delivery with long-term platform health.

Responsibilities

Directly manage a team of software engineers, including hiring, onboarding, performance management, compensation input, promotion readiness, and career development.
Set clear expectations, give timely feedback, and build an inclusive, accountable team culture where engineers can do high-impact work and continue to grow.
Own delivery, quality, operational readiness, and predictability for the team's commitments.
Manage team capacity, execution risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs; proactively escalate when scope, timing, or quality are at risk.
Maintain strong engineering hygiene across planning, estimation, retrospectives, incident follow-up, quality practices, and technical debt management.
Provide tactical technical guidance and oversight, including reviewing designs, implementation approaches, and operational considerations for quality, maintainability, scalability, and alignment with engineering standards.
Partner closely with senior engineers and architects on technical decisions, tradeoffs, sequencing, and execution plans.
Build strong working relationships with product managers, program managers, security, SRE, support, and other cross-functional partners through clear communication and consistent execution.
At Alteryx, we support a growth mindset for our associates through all stages of their careers.
As part of our ongoing commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, we're invested in building teams with a wide variety of backgrounds, identities, and experiences.

Requirements

Ability to plan, prioritize, and execute effectively within a defined team scope while managing ambiguity, dependencies, and changing business priorities.
Strong cross-functional partnership skills and the ability to align engineering delivery with product priorities and broader platform strategy.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize progress, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions for both technical teams and senior stakeholders.
