Quality Engineer
at Appian in Washington, DC (Vienna, VA)
Senior Quality Engineer (Automation) needed to run and optimize all automated testing infrastructure for our highly sophisticated Business Process Management Suite. Position offers an attractive base and incentive bonus package that includes competitive benefits, as well as the opportunity to help us revolutionize the way business software is built!
We are a highly successful, venture-backed, pre-IPO software company located in the Washington, DC area with hundreds of customers worldwide. We provide an extremely powerful platform for business users to create and evolve sophisticated, scalable, web-based applications in both enterprise and SaaS environments without writing a single line of code.
Our highly professional development organization consists of a diverse and talented team of engineers who long ago reined in the chaos of a startup. But we have still managed to maintain a dynamic and fun work environment. We are a close-knit, high-bandwidth group that is very selective in our recruiting. And the whole team works together on one floor: We believe that visionary works of engineering cannot be outsourced.
We have a long history of successfully solving hard problems:
*We have built a hugely flexible, highly secure, drag-and-drop, WYSIWYG, AJAX-based modeling environment that allows non-technical users to construct fully functional web applications using just a standard web browser. We began architecting this long before AJAX became popular, and we haven’t yet seen another web-based tool that rivals its power.
*We have built an extremely high performance engine to handle hundreds of complex model- and rule-based calculations per second, per thread. We power customer sites that service over 500,000 unique users per day.
*We have built a very scalable and fault-tolerant platform. Both government and commercial customers use us in mission critical environments worldwide.
We are looking for exceptionally talented engineers who share our vision for the future of web-based applications and enjoy solving cutting-edge problems to join our elite team.
