- Support knowledge transfer and transition of platform ownership from implementation partners to internal teams.
- Help establish technical standards, governance practices, and a sustainable operating model for the Appian platform.
- Mentor developers and provide technical guidance across the team.
- Collaborate with teams supporting integrated enterprise platforms, including Salesforce.
