Principal, Agentic Product Design Engineer

Meet the Moment with Alteryx

We're living through a once-in-a-generation shift in how work gets done. Data, automation, and AI are quickly becoming the center of every business decision - and Alteryx is leading the transformation.

You'll be working on the challenges that sit at the heart of modern business. No matter your role, the work you do will help organizations move faster, clearly, and tackle questions that used to feel impossible.

If you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here.

Alteryx is searching for a Principal, Agentic Product Design Engineer . This position is remote-friendly.

Position Overview:

We're looking for an engineer to help transform how products are designed and built through AI-assisted workflows, intelligent tooling, and agentic systems. Embedded within the Design System team, you'll work at the intersection of product development, user experience, and AI, creating shared capabilities that help teams move faster, make better decisions, and deliver more intelligent experiences. Your focus will be on identifying high-leverage opportunities where AI can improve how Product, Design, and Engineering teams work, then turning those opportunities into scalable systems, tools, and patterns that can be adopted across the organization.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, Research, and Operations teams to identify where agentic systems can meaningfully improve how we design, build, ship, and use products. Sometimes that means building internal tools and workflow automations. Sometimes it means prototyping entirely new interaction models powered by LLMs and AI agents. Sometimes it means helping teams rethink the boundaries between product UX, developer experience, and organizational process.

Within the first 6–12 months, this person is expected to identify and deliver several high-leverage AI initiatives, establish a roadmap for AI-enabled product development, create reusable patterns and tooling adopted by multiple teams, and help shape how our organization designs, builds, and ships AI-powered experiences.

Primary Responsibilities:

Define the Future of AI-Enabled Product Development

Partner with Product, Design, Engineering, and Marketing teams to identify and prioritize high-leverage opportunities where AI can improve workflows, customer experiences, and the delivery of product value

Help shape the organization's strategy for AI-assisted workflows, intelligent tooling, and AI-powered user experiences

Influence roadmaps, investment decisions, and operating models that support AI adoption across teams

Build Shared AI Capabilities and Infrastructure

Create reusable infrastructure, frameworks, APIs, and tooling that enable teams to build AI-powered experiences consistently and efficiently

Develop internal platforms and workflows that augment product development with AI capabilities

Establish scalable foundations that help teams move from experimentation to adoption

Evolve Experience Systems for the AI Era

Partner with design system engineers and designers to define patterns, standards, and interaction models for AI-powered experiences

Ensure AI experiences remain coherent, accessible, trustworthy, and usable across products

Explore how agents, copilots, and adaptive interfaces can become reusable capabilities across the product ecosystem

Prototype and Validate Emerging Concepts

Build prototypes and proof-of-concepts that explore new interaction models, intelligent workflows, and agent-driven experiences

Evaluate emerging technologies and approaches, including LLMs, agent frameworks, retrieval systems, orchestration tools, and evaluation methods

Use experimentation to inform long-term platform and product strategy

Translate successful prototypes into production-ready capabilities, partnering with teams to deliver real improvements to products, workflows, and user experiences

Identify and implement high-impact enhancements across design system tooling, AI-enabled workflows, and product experiences, balancing long-term platform investments with immediate user and developer needs

Enable Teams and Drive Adoption

Mentor engineers and designers working at the intersection of UX, systems thinking, and AI

Establish best practices for responsible AI development, governance, and human-in-the-loop systems

Help teams adopt new tools, workflows, and capabilities through coaching, collaboration, and shared standards

Qualifications:

8+ years of experience in software engineering, design engineering, design systems, creative technology, UX engineering, or related fields

Strong frontend engineering skills with modern web technologies and application architecture

Experience building AI-powered applications using LLM APIs and orchestration frameworks

Demonstrated ability to prototype quickly and think in systems

Strong understanding of interaction design, product thinking, and user experience principles

Experience building developer platforms, internal tools, or workflow systems

Ability to navigate ambiguity and operate effectively in 0-to-1 environments

Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

A systems-oriented mindset with strong product intuition

Valued Skills:

Experience with agent frameworks, retrieval systems, MCP servers, or multi-agent orchestration

Experience integrating AI into product development workflows

Familiarity with design systems and component architecture

Experience with evaluation pipelines, prompt engineering, or AI observability tooling

Background in computational design, creative tooling, or generative interfaces

Experience leading organizational transformation initiatives
