Job Description
As a Software Engineer working on Appian’s Android app, you will be responsible for the mobile face of Appian to our customer’s end users. From the News feed and Task list, to the custom UIs our customers design on the Appian platform, you must make them look good and perform well on any modern Android device. Your scope extends from RESTful web API design on the server, to the Android-specific renderer for Appian’s cross-platform user interface framework, to the final user experience of the Appian app.

Frameworks: You have heavy-duty experience with Activities and Fragments, especially as it relates to things like their lifecycle, using ListViews and view recycling, and the use of XMLs and creating views in code. You also have a good working knowledge of how to deal with UI fragmentation in Android (ActionBarSherlock), networking frameworks (HttpClient, RestTemplate), Loaders/AsyncTasks, accessing a database (SQLite) unit testing and dependency injection.

- Get Android app enhancements that support a wide variety of devices to the Play Store on schedule with our server releases
