You will be the product manager working closely with the team whose mission is re-architecting existing subsystems into modern, API-first components. You will be responsible for the direction and roadmap of several of these components to ensure backward compatibility, reliability, high-performance operations, and extensibility. This role requires a unique blend of technical curiosity and strategic reasoning: you aren't just managing a backlog; you are analyzing how our systems should be rebuilt to support a future of AI-driven process automation.
Job Responsibility:
Partner with engineering to deconstruct existing subsystems and define modern, scalable Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
Evaluate current architectural patterns against industry standards
Use the Impact-Metrics-Plans framework to ensure design decisions map to Appian’s goals for process automation, data fabric capabilities, or AI throughput
Work closely with stakeholders in both Chennai and the US to understand how backend changes will impact the development experience for designers using our platform
Manage the release and sprint backlog through rigorous grooming, writing detailed specifications that leave no room for ambiguity
Write detailed specifications for the team and fellow product managers to review and provide feedback on
Track adoption and usage of new features, applying appropriate metrics and analytics to evaluate whether they are having the desired impact
Own features all the way through final documentation, go-to-market, prioritization of bugs, and usage analysis
Requirements:
3–5 years of experience in Product Management, ideally within a technical or platform-oriented domain
Strong technical background, understanding backend system interactions, and experience defining and documenting APIs
Ability to perform comparative analysis between different technical solutions and communicate the 'why' behind a chosen path
Problem solver with a proven ability to prioritize, negotiate, and execute in a fast-paced environment
Ability to synthesize complex technical updates into actionable insights for the broader organization
Use data and logic to reach a resolution that serves the product
Take personal ownership of your subsystem’s performance and adoption metrics
BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
