Title: Software Engineer - Transport, Networking & Connectivity (Cloud Platform)

Job Description

Role summary: We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help build, own, evolve and maintain networking-heavy software services that power secure connectivity between customer environments and Alteryx Cloud. You’ll work on foundational “data plane transport” capabilities (connectivity, routing, service-to-service and environment-to-environment communication, reliability patterns) alongside senior engineers who will coach you through design, implementation, debugging, and on-call best practices.

What you’ll do:

• Design and deliver features in services that enable secure connectivity and data plane transport (e.g., connection orchestration, routing, proxy/relay patterns, reliability mechanisms).

• Own medium-sized workstreams end-to-end: technical approach, implementation, testing, rollout, and operational readiness.

• Improve system reliability through better monitoring/alerting, performance tuning, and incident learnings (postmortems, action items).

• Debug production issues that span networking and distributed systems (DNS/TLS/certs, timeouts, retries, scaling behavior, multi-service interaction).

• Partner cross-functionally (platform, security, QE, product) to align requirements and deliver in increments.

• Participate in code reviews, learn team standards, and iterate quickly with feedback.

What we’re looking for:

• Must have Proficiency in GoLang and Node/TypeScript/React.

• 2–5+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent depth in relevant systems work).

• Strong coding and debugging skills; consistent track record of shipping production changes with appropriate tests.

• Practical networking knowledge: HTTP/TLS, DNS, load balancing/proxy behavior, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.

• Experience operating software in production environments (monitoring, incident response, on-call, operational docs).

• Clear communication and ownership mindset-able to drive work forward with minimal ambiguity.

Nice to have

• Kubernetes/service mesh experience; cloud networking patterns; secrets/cert management; distributed tracing/observability.

• Prior work on connectivity agents, proxies/relays, gateways, or data-plane style services.

Success looks like

• Within 30–60 days: owning and shipping multiple medium-scope changes; proactively identifying reliability/tech-debt improvements.

• Within 90+ days: acting as a go-to engineer for transport/connectivity components and improving operational maturity (runbooks, alerts, SLO-ish thinking).
