Technical Architect – Appian & Salesforce Platforms

NetImpact Strategies • Remote,

4d • $172,000 - $210,000

About The Position

NetImpact Strategies is seeking a hands-on Technical Architect to lead customer-facing application development and modernization initiatives. The role works directly with customers to understand applications, business processes, data, integrations, and modernization objectives, and translates those needs into production-ready architecture and software.

The position combines traditional software-engineering depth with hands-on experience building and deploying enterprise applications on Appian and/or Salesforce. It is not a platform-administration or low-code-only role. The architect uses modern AI-assisted development tools to generate and accelerate code, tests, documentation, and technical analysis, while remaining accountable for the security, quality, maintainability, and production readiness of the final solution.

The successful candidate will lead discovery, assess existing systems, make platform and build-versus-platform decisions, design and develop application components and integrations, and guide delivery teams through implementation, testing, deployment, stabilization, and support. They will communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to customers, business stakeholders, and engineering teams.

NetImpact Strategies is a federal-government digital transformation advisor that delivers work across strategic consulting, process automation, cloud, DevSecOps, data and analytics, and cybersecurity. The posted salary range is $172,000–$210,000; actual compensation may vary based on factors including skills, experience, training, location, and benefits.

Requirements

• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain the required federal suitability or security clearance.
• 10+ years of software development, application architecture, solution architecture, or technical-delivery experience.
• Demonstrated ownership of a significant application from requirements and design through production deployment and ongoing support.
• Strong hands-on engineering experience with Java, C#/.NET, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or comparable enterprise technologies.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying production applications using Appian and/or Salesforce in a large enterprise environment.
• Experience designing APIs, integrations, distributed systems, data solutions, and secure enterprise applications.
• Experience integrating Appian or Salesforce applications with custom software, databases, identity providers, cloud services, and external APIs.
• Experience with cloud platforms, containers, CI/CD, automated testing, security tooling, and production observability.
• Practical experience using AI tools to generate, refactor, test, document, or analyze production software, with disciplined human validation.
• Strong customer-facing discovery, consulting, communication, technical leadership, and problem-solving skills.

Nice To Haves

• Production application-development experience with both Appian and Salesforce.
• Appian certification and experience with process models, records, interfaces, expression rules, integrations, security, and deployment.

• Experience with AI coding agents, agentic workflows, MCP, automated evaluation, guardrails, or AI development governance.

Responsibilities

• Lead customer discovery and translate business and mission requirements into solution architectures, technical designs, and implementation plans.
• Assess existing applications, workflows, data, integrations, infrastructure, and modernization constraints.
• Architect and build enterprise applications using Appian, Salesforce, traditional software technologies, cloud-native services, or hybrid approaches.
• Make build-versus-platform decisions based on business requirements, platform capabilities, scalability, security, maintainability, and cost.
• Design application components, process workflows, data models, APIs, integrations, identity controls, and deployment approaches.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to analyze applications and generate code, tests, documentation, designs, and modernization artifacts.
• Personally develop critical application components, integrations, APIs, prototypes, and reusable architectural patterns.
• Review, test, refine, and validate AI-generated code and technical artifacts before production release.
• Guide delivery teams through implementation, testing, deployment, production stabilization, and ongoing support.
• Communicate architectural decisions, risks, and technical tradeoffs clearly to customers, business stakeholders, and engineering teams.
