Software Engineer |
Appian is building a ground-breaking web-based application that will change the way the world thinks about delivering applications and services on the web. With hundreds of customers globally, and millions of deployed seats, we sell one of the world's most actively used enterprise web apps. Our software is beautiful, elegant, and powerful: With our technology, delivered purely through a web interface, we can implement business applications faster than any technology platform you've ever seen.
The Team
The team is small, purposely so, and high quality. The productivity curve of engineering talent is well understood - we are very selective. More than talented, we’re a community of individuals intent on crafting amazing software. All engineers understands the company's vision of making it trivially easy to compose and evolve applications over the web.
The Approach
We build software using Scrum. We work in small teams of 3-6 people in brief development sprints. It's a very low-friction environment - few meetings or distractions and lots of high bandwidth interactions between engineers.
The Tools
We invest heavily in automated test infrastructure and virtualization because we believe that product quality must be measured frequently: We run a comprehensive test suite of nearly 20,000 tests every hour. We invest aggressively in tools for our engineers – the best application development environments, fast machines, multiple monitors, and a beautiful, distraction-free workplace.
The Job
We have opportunities for engineers interested in UI development, J2EE development, server platform development, and the creation of quality engineering automation tools.
