Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Are you a seasoned Appian developer with a passion for crafting impactful technology solutions and mentoring others? As the Lead Demo Engineer for Appian's SPEAR Team in Chennai, you'll take on a dual role: leading the day-to-day operations of the Chennai Demo Engineers and serving as a senior individual contributor yourself. You'll play a critical part in scaling Appian's global Presales organization by managing team workflows, providing technical guidance, and personally delivering the highest-quality demo assets that fuel hundreds of sales engagements each year.
• In this role, you'll act as both a manager and a technical lead. You'll oversee the daily activities of the team, monitor progress, ensure work is completed on time and to a high standard, and serve as a key resource for technical guidance when Demo Engineers run into challenges. You'll also continue to do the work yourself -- de-branding prospect demos, modernizing aging assets with the latest Appian capabilities, contributing to DemoHub (Appian's centralized demo catalog and governance system), and producing polished clickable demos, walkthrough videos, and scripts. By fostering a collaborative and supportive environment, you'll empower your team to excel while ensuring alignment with global SPEAR priorities and deadlines.
• You will report directly to the US-based Area Vice President of Solutions Consulting, who leads the SPEAR Team. This reporting structure gives you a direct line into the strategy and priorities of Appian's global Presales organization, and positions you as the on-site Chennai leader and primary liaison between the Chennai team and stakeholders worldwide.
• This role combines leadership, deep technical expertise, and strategic oversight, offering you the chance to make a significant impact both as a contributor and as a mentor. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and are ready to elevate the capabilities of your team while showcasing the power of Appian's platform, this role is for you.

Who can apply

• Strong, senior-level experience with Appian or a similar low-code application development platform, including design, development, and debugging of complex applications.
• Proven ability to manage and mentor technical teams, with demonstrated leadership and people management skills.
• Excellent technical and programming skills, with concrete examples of delivering polished, impactful work that others have used as a benchmark.
• Highly organized, with a track record of managing multiple projects and priorities in a high-volume, dynamic environment.
• Skilled in cross-functional collaboration, with solid verbal, written, presentation, and interpersonal communication abilities -- including the ability to communicate clearly across global teams and time zones.
• Familiarity with interactive demo platforms (Storylane, Reprise, Navattic, Walnut, or similar) is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with video recording and editing tools for producing walkthrough content is a plus.
• Self-motivated, driven individual with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a strong sense of urgency.
• B.S. or M.S. in Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields, or equivalent work experience.
• Tools and Resources
