Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Appian Corporation as an employer.

What you need

  • Proven experience building and leading a DevOps or Tier 2/Tier 3 operational support team
  • 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or production operations, with at least 3 years in a people leadership role at the senior manager level or above
  • 7+ years in Software Engineering with a proven track record of delivery
  • Deep experience defining operational onboarding standards for multi-team engineering organizations
  • Hands-on familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS strongly preferred), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Must be a US Citizen or US Permanent Resident

Nice to have

  • Strong experience supporting distributed systems at scale, including incident response and recovery coordination
  • Experience working across globally distributed teams and time zones
  • Experience with FedRAMP, GovCloud, or other restricted deployment environments

What you get

  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Flexible time off
  • Paid parental leave
  • Medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Life insurance
  • Disability insurance

Worth weighing
