Senior Appian developer

POSITION SUMMARY

Newlight Solutions is a global digital‑transformation firm with offices in Jaipur and New York. We design, build, and operate mission‑critical low‑code systems—across supply chain, finance, healthcare, public sector, and beyond—using Appian as our primary platform and AI components where they deliver clear value.

We are hiring a Senior Appian Developer to lead full‑cycle delivery: architecture, implementation, quality assurance, and client demonstrations. You will mentor mid‑level engineers, curate development standards, and drive continuous improvement as we scale.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and develop performant Appian applications—data models, process models, interfaces, Records, Sites, and role‑based security.
• Facilitate requirement‑gathering workshops and convert business objectives into detailed technical specifications and user stories.
• Prepare workload estimates, sprint plans, and resource forecasts to keep delivery predictable.
• Define and enforce Appian design patterns, coding standards, and naming conventions across all project artefacts.
• Conduct performance tuning, load‑testing, and capacity planning to ensure applications scale reliably.
• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation (architecture decks, release notes, runbooks) for internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Coordinate environment management—version control, package migration, and hot‑fix roll‑outs—in collaboration with DevOps.
• Manage change‑control logs, assess delivery risks, and drive remediation plans before issues escalate.
• Track emerging Appian features and industry trends; recommend platform upgrades or POCs that add measurable value.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 4 + years of end‑to‑end Appian delivery with at least two full production go‑lives where you owned architecture and build; Level 2 certification mandatory, Level 3 strongly preferred.
• Deep command of the full Appian feature set—SAIL interfaces, Records, Data Fabric, Sites, Process Models, Decision Objects, and role‑based security.
• Integration expertise: REST/SOAP APIs, RDBMS, OAuth2 / OIDC, SAML SSO, webhooks; able to diagnose latency and security issues in distributed environments.
• Hands‑on development of Appian plug‑ins in Java; proficiency in Python or JavaScript for auxiliary scripts and micro‑services is a plus.
• Demonstrated senior developer capability—regularly conduct code reviews, mentor junior developers, and drive Agile ceremonies (refinement, sprint planning, retrospectives).
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; comfortable translating complex technical decisions into clear business impact for executive stakeholders.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience embedding OpenAI / Azure OpenAI or AI Skills into Appian solutions.
• Familiarity with Mendix, Microsoft Power Platform, or micro‑services architectures.
• Prior technical‑lead or mentorship experience in Agile delivery teams.

SUCCESS METRICS – FIRST 6 MONTHS

• Two production go‑lives with fewer than 1 % post‑deployment defects.
• Organisation‑wide adoption of your security‑by‑design checklist.
• Clients explicitly request your involvement in roadmap or enhancement sessions.
