Job Details

Here at Appian, we're passionate about automation, speed, and efficiency; and the CIO department is a great place to apply these values! From Information Security, Business Technology, to Solution Engineering, joining Appian will provide you with the opportunity to lead technical strategy, execution and communication for all applications to support Appian employees, customers, and partners across the world. Join us, as we work collaboratively to grow Appian.

This position is responsible for the design, code, build, and support of security vulnerability architecture components for securing Appian's Cloud and Corporate environments. This position is for you if you seek out building secure solutions in a dynamic team involving cloud computing technologies and multiple security frameworks. As such, we are looking for a person with a strong technical background and a desire to apply that expertise to decisions that have direct customer impact.

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 will:
  • Build and code security tooling detections and technology into our existing corporate and customer infrastructures
  • Enhance our security engineering infrastructure and systems that are continuously evaluating the threat-landscape for Appian's operations and service offerings
  • Work directly with technical teams (e.g. Engineering, Cloud, IT) to design, analyze, and/or recommend secure infrastructure and tooling
  • Lead/contribute to major projects and initiatives that involve large security tool deployments or engineering efforts
  • Create integrations using APIs to build a reporting, dashboarding, and alerting system for Vulnerability Management
  • Contribute ideas to improve the security posture and detections in our security program
  • Stay knowledgeable around the cutting edge of information security, threats, tools, and techniques

About you:
  • Education: B.S. in Computer Science or related field/degree.
  • 1+ years experience in coding with languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, Go, C, etc.
  • 1+ years experience in SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and/or cloud infrastructure development environments (experience with Amazon Web Services is a plus)
  • 1+ years experience using various security technologies
  • 1+ years experience with security architecture and design
  • Experience with UNIX or its variants, such as Linux
  • Familiar with networking protocols and technologies - TCP/IP, DNS, SMTP, etc.
  • Familiar with common security frameworks such as the Mitre ATT&CK framework and threat hunting concepts to identify IOCs

Some of the tools and resources we will equip you with include:
  • We value innovation and investment in our people by providing opportunities for growth and leadership. Whether it's through Engineering IndieTime (dedicated time to build whatever you want with whomever you want), or annual hackathons, we value activities that inspire others and get creative juices flowing.
  • Appian has a large engineering team where you are made to feel autonomous by our engineering business group model. Working within an agile team allows our engineers and leaders to have a sense of community and accomplishment.
  • We'll immerse you into our community rooted in respect starting on day one. Our community is strong and growing! Our affinity groups are a great place to start connecting with peers from all across the globe.
