Forward Deployed Engineer

About This Role

The Forward Deployed Engineer is a senior technical role working with Alteryx's strategic enterprise customers and partners to integrate Alteryx One into modern data and AI architectures. This engineer will design, build, and validate production systems, then package them into repeatable patterns for partners.

Responsibilities

• 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
• Provide technical leadership from architecture to pilot to production and partner handoff
• Make architecture decisions for cloud data platform and analytics modernization
• Create repeatable patterns that drive faster time-to-value, expansion, and consumption

Requirements

• 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
