Our team builds and operates foundational services that enable secure, reliable communication between Alteryx Cloud, data planes, and customer environments. Our work includes Data Bridge, which enables customers to securely access private data sources, along with shared platform services for connectivity, networking, registration, and orchestration across distributed cloud environments. This is a hands-on, backend-focused engineering role, primarily developing services and APIs in Go, with some opportunities to contribute to frontend applications using TypeScript and React. You'll collaborate with experienced engineers, contribute to technical decisions, and take ownership of features and improvements from development through production., Design, develop, test, and maintain backend services, APIs, and distributed systems, primarily using Go. Build and improve secure connectivity solutions involving service registration, orchestration, routing, and proxy/relay-based communication. Own well-defined features and enhancements through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. Develop and maintain cloud-native services running in AWS and GCP, with a focus on reliability, security, and scalability. Contribute to frontend applications and platform management experiences using TypeScript and React when needed. Investigate and troubleshoot issues across application code, cloud infrastructure, and networking components. Improve automated testing, monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational tooling. Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and code reviews while collaborating with Product, Infrastructure, Security, and other engineering teams. Participate in an on-call rotation after onboarding, helping maintain production reliability and address recurring issues.
