Job Summary: VersaTech is seeking an experienced Appian Developer with proven end-to-end application build experience to join our high-impact federal project team. This role is focused on the greenfield implementation and ongoing enhancement of the Government Acquisition Management Suite (GAMS) using Appian's low-code automation platform.
