This position requires a strong practitioner mindset-approximately 75% hands-on development and 25% consulting/technical leadership-supporting multiple enterprise initiatives while helping guide the organization's Appian strategy and engineering standards. The team is currently expanding its Appian capabilities and investing in upskilling engineers. This role will help close key gaps in Appian development expertise, support platform rationalization efforts, and evaluate opportunities to migrate workflow applications from other platforms into Appian.

The ideal candidate combines principal-level enterprise experience, deep Appian technical knowledge, and hands-on development skills to deliver scalable and maintainable platform solutions.

    • Reusable components
  • Lead hands-on development of workflow and case management applications supporting multiple concurrent enterprise initiatives.
  • Build scalable and maintainable solutions aligned with enterprise architecture and engineering standards.
  • Participate in platform rationalization efforts, helping determine which applications should be built or migrated to Appian.

Platform Engineering & Optimization
  • Apply advanced expertise in Appian platform configuration, security models, and performance optimization.
  • Evaluate and implement new Appian platform features and upgrades to improve scalability and developer productivity.
  • Establish and maintain consistent development standards, reusable components, and governance practices across the Appian platform.

Integration & Data Connectivity
  • Develop and support Appian integrations using:
    • RESTful services
    • Enterprise APIs
    • External data sources and enterprise systems
  • Ensure secure, reliable, and scalable integration with internal platforms and services.

Technical Leadership
  • Serve as a technical authority for the Appian platform, guiding architecture decisions and solution design.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to development teams as the organization continues expanding its Appian expertise.
  • Promote engineering excellence through standards, reusable patterns, and shared platform capabilities.

Qualifications

  • Strong expertise in:
    • Appian process modeling and workflow design
    • SAIL interface development
    • Record types and data modeling
    • Expression rules and reusable components
  • Experience integrating Appian with REST APIs, enterprise systems, and external data sources.
  • Deep understanding of Appian platform security, performance tuning, and governance.
  • Proven ability to support multiple concurrent enterprise initiatives.
  • Experience operating at a Principal or Lead Engineer level within enterprise environments.
