Managers, Software Development (Applications) provide technical leadership in Appian solution development and are responsible for the professional growth and development of engineers working in that layer. As an engineering manager, they provide direct 1-on-1 mentoring and coaching to a small group of product engineers to improve their skills while also handling general HR management responsibilities. Managers are servant-leaders who should enjoy helping groups succeed. They spend roughly 75% of their time as a developer (technical design, writing code, code reviews, etc.) and 25% managing direct reports. If an MPE is also in the role of a Squad Coach, their time as a developer is expected to be reduced (to roughly 30%).
