You will work directly with customers to understand their applications, business processes, data, integrations, and modernization objectives, then translate those needs into production-ready architecture and software. The ideal candidate combines traditional software-engineering depth with hands-on experience building and deploying enterprise applications on Appian and/or Salesforce. This is not a platform-administration or low-code-only role. You will use modern AI-assisted development tools to generate and accelerate code, tests, documentation, and technical analysis while remaining accountable for the security, quality, maintainability, and production readiness of the final solution. Responsibilities Lead customer discovery and translate business and mission requirements into solution architectures, technical designs, and implementation plans. * Assess existing applications, workflows, data, integrations, infrastructure, and modernization constraints. * Architect and build enterprise applications using Appian, Salesforce, traditional software technologies, cloud-native services, or hybrid approaches. * Make informed build-versus-platform decisions based on business requirements, platform capabilities, scalability, security, maintainability, and cost. * Design application components, process workflows, data models, APIs, integrations, identity controls, and deployment approaches. * Use AI-assisted development tools to analyze applications and generate code, tests, documentation, designs, and modernization artifacts. * Personally develop critical application components, integrations, APIs, prototypes, and reusable architectural patterns. * Review, test, refine, and validate AI-generated code and technical artifacts before production release. * Guide delivery teams through implementation, testing, deployment, production stabilization, and ongoing support. * Communicate architectural decisions, risks, and technical tradeoffs clearly to customers, business stakeholders, and engineering teams.
