If you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here. Alteryx is searching for an Sr. Engineering Insights Analyst . This position is remote-friendly. Position Overview: We are building a data-driven understanding of how our engineering organization operates, and we’re looking for a Data Analyst focused on Engineering Intelligence to help us do it. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, data, and operational excellence. Your mission is to transform engineering signals into insights that help us improve software quality, productivity, reliability, and cost efficiency. You will analyze data from across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from pull requests and CI/CD pipelines to service reliability metrics and incident management, and translate it into dashboards and insights that guide engineering leaders. If you are passionate about understanding how engineering organizations work and how they can improve, this role is for you. What You’ll Work On: Engineering Effectiveness & SDLC Metrics You will help measure and improve how our engineering organization builds and operates software. Examples of metrics you will analyze include: Development & productivity Pull request volume and cycle time Code review latency Deployment frequency Lead time for changes Change failure rate Reliability & operations SLO / SLA performance Incident and escalation patterns Engineering quality Defect trends Incident root causes Platform adoption Usage of internal platforms and services Adoption of engineering standards and best practices Engineering cost efficiency Infrastructure cost trends Cost per service / team Efficiency of engineering investments Build Data Products for Engineering You will create data products used daily by engineering leaders, including: Engineering health dashboards Service reliability dashboards Operational insights for engineering managers Executive views of engineering performance Adoption dashboards for internal platforms Dashboards will primarily be built using Superset. Data Pipelines & Analysis You will work directly with engineering data systems. Responsibilities include: Writing advanced SQL queries to analyze engineering data Building lightweight Python pipelines to aggregate and process signals Integrating data from sources such as: Git repositories (PRs, commits) CI/CD systems Incident management systems Observability platforms Ticketing systems Cost management tools You will help ensure that engineering metrics are accurate, consistent, and trusted across the organization. Generate Insights That Drive Decisions Beyond dashboards, your work will focus on finding meaningful patterns in engineering data. Examples include: Identifying bottlenecks in the development process Detecting reliability risks early Understanding operational load across teams Measuring whether internal platform investments are working Connecting engineering activity with infrastructure costs You will translate complex datasets into clear insights and recommendations for engineering leadership. Collaborate Across Engineering This role requires deep collaboration with engineering teams. You will work closely with: Engineering managers Platform and infrastructure teams DevOps / SRE FinOps Engineering leadership You will help define consistent engineering KPIs and ensure teams are producing the right operational data. Qualifications: Technical Skills Strong SQL skills Experience using Python for data analysis or pipelines Experience building dashboards in Superset, Tableau, Looker, or similar BI tools Experience working with complex operational datasets Familiarity with data modeling and metric definitions Engineering Awareness You should be comfortable working with engineering concepts such as: Pull Requests (PRs) CI/CD pipelines Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Service Level Objectives (SLOs) Incident management Escalation tickets Service reliability metrics You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you should enjoy working closely with engineers and understanding how systems are built and operated. Analytical & Communication Skills Strong analytical thinking Ability to translate ambiguous questions into measurable metrics Ability to communicate insights clearly to technical and leadership audiences Strong attention to data quality and metric consistency What Success Looks Like: Within your first months: Engineering leaders have clear dashboards showing service health and engineering productivity Reliable metrics exist for SDLC performance and operational health Engineering leadership can easily track reliability, quality, and adoption of platforms Over time: Engineering decisions become data-driven Operational risks are surfaced early through metrics Platform investments can be evaluated through measurable adoption The organization develops a shared understanding of engineering effectiveness Why This Role Is Exciting: Engineering organizations generate enormous amounts of operational data — but very few companies truly understand it. This role will help us answer questions like: Are we becoming more productive or slower over time? Are our systems getting more reliable? Are our platform investments paying off? Where are engineers spending their time? Are we scaling engineering efficiently and sustainably? You will help build the operating intelligence layer for engineering.
