About the role
Alteryx is searching for a Manager, Software Engineering. This position is remote-friendly.
Position Overview:
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.
Primary 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.
•
Coach engineers on execution, collaboration, ownership, technical judgment, and communication with stakeholders.
•
Clarify roles, ownership boundaries, and decision-making mechanisms so the team can move quickly without sacrificing quality or alignment.
•
Own delivery, quality, operational readiness, and predictability for the team’s commitments.
•
Translate product and engineering strategy into actionable plans, priorities, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
•
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.
•
Represent team progress, risks, decisions, and resourcing needs to senior leadership, while advocating for the support required to deliver effectively.
Requirements:
•
Previous people management experience leading software engineers directly, with demonstrated ownership of performance management, coaching, hiring, and team development.
•
3–5+ years of experience leading delivery of complex, multi-system engineering initiatives, preferably in SaaS, cloud platform, distributed systems, or enterprise software environments.
•
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
•
Demonstrated success as a senior software engineer, technical lead, or engineering manager with enough technical depth to earn trust and guide tradeoffs.
•
Proven ability to deliver high-quality software through a team, including balancing scope, schedule, quality, reliability, and operational supportability.
•
Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, feedback, performance management, career development, and building accountable teams.
•
Solid technical background relevant to backend services, APIs, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or platform-oriented engineering work.
•
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.
•
Experience improving engineering practices such as planning, estimation, design review, incident response, observability, testing, and technical debt management.
•
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize progress, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions for both technical teams and senior stakeholders.
