As part of our Data Server squad you'll dive into challenges of scaling a complex and powerful cloud platform. You'll leverage the latest tools to build a new data layer to accelerate data persistence and retrieval by making it intuitive and fast. As an increasing number of apps are being built by our users on the platform the data layer team must shape the future of Appian's reporting engine.

In addition, you will be improving the rapidly growing, complex and highly available server architecture for our customers. You will need to define best practices for automated procedures in upgrading and debugging performance tuning issues. We expect you to know database systems inside and out and be a little bit obsessive about performance and scalability.

Join us as we scale into the future!
