About the role

Hiring: Senior Appian Developer

iShift is looking for a senior Appian developer for a federal client

building a new enterprise booking and scheduling application from the

ground up. One dedicated seat, embedded with the client's team, hands-on

from requirements through post-MVP stabilization. This is a build role,

not a maintenance role.

What you'd be building:

  • A unified self-service request portal replacing several disconnected

intake channels, with a guided wizard that routes each request to the

right fulfilling group

  • Back-office dashboards and reporting for the staff who work the queue
  • Integration with an existing Appian room reservation application so

bookings flow through to the right team automatically

Must have:

  • 3+ years developing full-time on Appian
  • ACTIVE Appian Senior Developer or Lead Developer certification — this

one is non-negotiable and lapsed credentials don't count

  • 5+ years in a related IT role
  • Web API development
  • Configuring Appian with complex API integrations, data structures,

business rules, and group/user security

  • Leading requirements workshops with non-technical stakeholders
  • Performance tuning of Appian processes and interfaces
  • MariaDB (preferred), MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MSSQL
  • HTML, CSS, HTTP, JSON
  • Microsoft Office including Visio
  • Agile/Scrum
  • Able to pass a federal background check

What makes you stand out:

  • Appian solutions that schedule requests across multiple assignable

resources

  • Appian integrated with the Microsoft Graph API for calendar events
  • Pentaho PDI or comparable ETL
  • ClickUp
  • Local to the DC metro area

Responsibilities

  • Build a unified self-service request portal
  • Create back-office dashboards and reporting
  • Integrate with existing Appian room reservation application

Qualifications

  • 3+ years developing full-time on Appian
  • ACTIVE Appian Senior Developer or Lead Developer certification
  • 5+ years in a related IT role
  • Web API development experience
  • Configuring Appian with complex API integrations
  • Leading requirements workshops with non-technical stakeholders
  • Performance tuning of Appian processes and interfaces
  • Experience with MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MSSQL
