We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The title says 'Lead' but the posting describes a hands-on individual-contributor role with mentoring responsibilities — no people-management scope is described. Seniority is assessed as Senior based on 4+ years of Appian experience and the mentoring/lead-contributor framing.
The JD requires applicants to be U.S. citizens who can obtain and maintain a US Government Public Trust clearance. This is a suitability/background-check requirement, not a hard security clearance gate (Public Trust is not a classified clearance level), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Appian SAIL, Process Models, Interfaces, Process Monitoring, and Integrations are listed under the 'It would be great if you also had' (nice-to-have) section. SAIL and Process Models are captured as preferred; Interfaces, Process Monitoring, and Integrations are generic Appian feature areas rather than distinct named tools and are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Agile is listed under the nice-to-have section alongside project management experience and is marked preferred accordingly.
'Other open source technology experience' is too vague to capture as a named skill and is omitted.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
