Appian Developer

We are seeking a skilled Appian Developer to design, build, and optimize enterprise-grade business applications on the Appian low-code automation platform. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience across the full Appian development lifecycle — from process modeling and SAIL interface design to system integrations and application performance tuning — and will collaborate closely with business analysts, solution architects, and client stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable, high‑quality solutions.

• Design, develop, test, and deploy Appian‑based business process management (BPM) applications, including process models, records, reports, sites, and interfaces (SAIL).
• Translate business requirements into technical designs, conceptual application architecture, and detailed process/data models.
• Build and maintain integrations between Appian and external systems, APIs, databases, and third‑party platforms (REST, SOAP, Web Services).
• Perform SQL‑based data modeling, database design, and data source configuration within Appian.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in interfaces, process models, and application performance.
• Apply Appian best practices for scalability, security, and maintainability across the application lifecycle.
• Collaborate with business analysts, solution architects, QA, and cross‑functional Agile/SAFe teams to deliver features on schedule.
• Support requirements gathering and analysis sessions, providing technical input during solution design discussions.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior/mid‑level Appian developers.
• Maintain thorough technical documentation across applications and process workflows.
• Participate in code reviews, unit testing, and deployment activities across dev/test/prod environments.
• Stay current with new Appian platform releases, features, and mobile development capabilities.

• Design and configure AI Agents within Appian process models, embedding them with proper context, guardrails, and auditability rather than deploying AI in isolation.
• Build intelligent document processing (IDP) capabilities into applications, including self‑improving extraction models for complex/unstructured document formats.
• Leverage Appian Data Fabric to give AI agents and third‑party tools secure, unified read/write access to enterprise data without data migration.
• Integrate Appian AI Agents with external systems and models via Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling secure interoperability across the AI ecosystem (e.g., Snowflake Cortex AI and similar platforms).
• Use AI‑assisted, spec‑driven development tools (e.g., Appian Composer) to extract specifications from legacy applications and accelerate build/modernization cycles.
• Apply Process HQ and process intelligence/mining capabilities to identify bottlenecks, quantify ROI, and target automation opportunities with AI and RPA.
• Ensure all AI actions embedded in workflows and interfaces are governed, controllable, and traceable to business outcomes — supporting compliance, auditability, and responsible AI use.
• Track and tune agent performance over time, applying agent memory/learning to improve decision‑making within governed processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 8+ years of overall software development experience, including hands‑on Appian development experience (tailor to seniority level).
• Strong understanding of Appian Application Architecture: process models, records, reports, sites, groups, and rules.
• Proficiency in Appian SAIL for building dynamic, responsive interfaces.
• Solid SQL skills and experience with relational database…
