Job Details

Here at Appian, we're passionate about technology. We love making it, and we love using it. Joining Appian Engineering will provide you with the opportunity to learn in an environment that values cross-functional collaboration and is committed to personal and professional growth. We want to revolutionize the way people work, and in doing so, we develop the Appian platform to be simple so our customers can thrive.

Building the infrastructure for the leading low-code platform requires agile, reliable, highly secure, highly scalable, and highly available systems. Documentation can make our product seem harder than it is, or make the hard parts seem easy. As a Senior Information Developer supporting the Cloud Native group, your mission is to learn the behavior of new features for our platform infrastructure, and create documentation geared toward both our Cloud and self-managed customers that explains how to use and administer the platform, along with the best practices for doing so. We have a lot of reverence for our documentation, and you'll work with an enthusiastic conglomerate of writers and product managers who are passionate about the product being documented in a way that makes it as accessible and successful as possible. You will contribute exemplary content, and help shape and steer our content vision and strategy.

Appian is headquartered in the McLean, Virginia area, and we are supportive of both Remote and Hybrid work environments.

To be successful in this role, you need to:
  • Produce high-quality documentation that supports our users and our product strategy.
  • Ensure fulfillment of our content strategy through articulate reviews, examples, and guided revision.
  • Collaborate with product managers to determine the best strategy for documenting the evolving product landscape.
  • Contributes to defining the overall structure of the documentation site, including its information architecture and methods of content reuse.
  • Look for opportunities to explore and experiment with novel documentation technologies and styles.

Some of the tools and resources we will equip you with include:
  • Within your first few weeks of joining us, you will attend new hire orientation along with our 2-day engineering bootcamp to ensure you are set up for success
  • Access to over 1,000+ Udemy course, along with dedicated learning time to focus on areas you specifically would like to focus on as a programmer
  • An agile-led work environment where you will be challenged and your ideas will be heard

Basic Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of writing and delivering compelling, technical documentation for platform infrastructure services, with 2+ years in a senior or lead role.
  • B.A. or B.S. degree in Professional and Technical Writing (or related field/degree)
