Senior Product Manager, Platform Engineering

Here at Appian, our values of Intensity and Excellence define who we are. We set high standards and live up to them, ensuring that everything we do is done with care and quality. We approach every challenge with ambition and commitment, holding ourselves and each other accountable to achieve the best results. When you join Appian, you’ll be part of a passionate team dedicated to accomplishing hard things, together.

You will be the product manager working on the mission to strengthen our self-managed distribution of Appian by analyzing trends in customer use cases, prioritizing the delivery of essential features and enhancements, and driving adoption of Appian on Kubernetes. You will be responsible for the direction and roadmap of the Appian on Kubernetes offering, ensuring reliable, high-performance operations for customers running Appian in their own managed environments.

This role emphasizes a connection to the customer. You will form relationships with key points of contact within our customers' organizations and must be equally comfortable conversing with deeply technical IT staff and executives alike. You will use your prior experience with deploying and managing containerized software in Kubernetes environments to explain to customers how Appian on Kubernetes adheres to cloud-native principles and meets enterprise‑grade requirements.

Likewise, you will use your deep domain knowledge to understand and analyze customer‑provided use cases and enhancement requests to judge suitability for the future product backlog.

This role is based at our headquartered in McLean, Virginia. Appian was built on a culture of in‑person collaboration, which we believe is a key driver of our mission to be the best. Employees hired for this position are expected to be in the office 5 days a week to foster that culture and ensure we continue to thrive through shared ideas and teamwork.

We believe being in the office provides more opportunities to come together and celebrate working with the exceptional people across Appian.
