At Valtech, you’ll find an environment designed for continuous learning, meaningful impact, and professional growth. Whether you're pioneering new digital solutions, challenging conventional thinking or building the next generation of customer experiences, your work will help transform industries.

You’ll work alongside multidisciplinary teams of strategists, architects, engineers, analysts, designers and consultants, helping enterprise organisations modernise business operations through low-code technology, workflow automation and intelligent digital solutions. As a Senior Appian Consultant, you’ll play a key role in designing and delivering scalable Appian solutions that improve operational efficiency, automate manual processes and enable organisations to respond faster to changing business needs. This is a hands‑on consulting role requiring strong technical expertise, client engagement skills and the ability to translate business requirements into robust enterprise applications.

Role Responsibilities

• You are a hands‑on Appian specialist who enjoys solving complex business challenges through modern low‑code technology. You combine strong technical capability with a consulting mindset and enjoy working closely with clients to understand problems before designing scalable solutions.
• You will lead the design, configuration and development of enterprise Appian applications, ensuring solutions are secure, maintainable and aligned to Appian best practices. You'll contribute throughout the delivery lifecycle, from technical design and sprint planning through to testing, deployment and production support.
• Working collaboratively with architects, product managers, business analysts and engineering teams, you’ll help shape technical solutions that balance business requirements with implementation practicality.
• You’ll be comfortable leading technical discussions with clients, providing guidance on solution design, integration approaches and delivery best practice while mentoring junior developers and helping elevate engineering quality across delivery teams.
• You will actively contribute to Agile delivery ceremonies, supporting backlog refinement, estimation, sprint demonstrations and continuous improvement initiatives. You will also play an important role in maintaining delivery quality through technical reviews, unit testing, deployment management and performance optimisation.
• As technology continues to evolve, you remain curious and committed to continuous learning; embracing new Appian capabilities and identifying opportunities to improve delivery through automation, reusable components and emerging AI capabilities.

• Experience designing and implementing integrations using Connected Systems, Web APIs and external services, including REST and SOAP‑based integration patterns, exercising sound judgement on when to use built‑in objects, expressions, rules and plug‑ins versus custom development.
• Experience identifying performance bottlenecks, applying caching strategies, and using the Appian Health Check report and process monitoring tab to maintain production stability within an application.
• Experience implementing Appian's security model and managing Appian deployments, release pipelines, and troubleshooting production issues within a single application or workstream.
