- Assist with performance tuning and troubleshooting using logs, performance dashboards, and Appian Health Check prior to release
- Support packaging and promotion of applications across environments with Appian deployment tooling/Admin Console; contribute to release notes and rollback plans
- Support release coordination with QA/DevOps and stakeholders; ensure compliance with quality and security gates in Agile increments.
- Stabilize and support post‑go‑live: monitor, triage, resolve incidents; perform root‑cause analysis and deliver hotfixes.
- Contribute to continuous improvement: adopt new Appian features, help refine reusable components, and share knowledge with Associate team members.
