Appian Architect

Appian Architect

We are seeking a highly experienced Appian Architect to join our team in delivering advanced, enterprise-grade applications built on the Appian BPM platform. This role is not for traditional low-code/no-code developers — we are looking for a true expert who thrives on building complex, custom-coded Appian solutions that go far beyond drag-and-drop interfaces.

The ideal candidate has multiple years of experience working with deeply customized Appian environments, writing intricate logic, building robust integrations, and architecting scalable systems. You will play a key role in shaping and supporting a mission-critical codebase that underpins sophisticated business processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and implement complex Appian applications with heavy custom logic and code beyond typical low-code usage.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners, and technical teams to gather and analyze detailed business requirements.
• Manually write advanced Appian SAIL interfaces, process models, expressions, and custom integrations.
• Ensure code scalability, performance, and maintainability through clean architecture and coding best practices.
• Mentor junior Appian developers and conduct in-depth code reviews.
• Resolve performance issues, technical bottlenecks, and production incidents effectively.
• Stay up to date on Appian platform changes and introduce advanced features to enhance capabilities.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 5–7+ years of software development experience, with 3–5+ years focused on Appian BPM.
• Proven experience in designing and delivering complex, custom Appian applications — not just low-code workflows.
• Deep understanding of Appian architecture, custom SAIL development, expression rules, and Appian Records.
• Expertise in manual code development within Appian, with advanced knowledge of its internal functions and configuration capabilities.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and DevOps practices.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Appian Certified Lead Developer or higher (Architect preferred).
• Experience with large-scale Appian implementations in enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Experience using tools like JIRA, Confluence, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Prior experience leading development teams or serving in a technical leadership role.
