Sr Associate, MAPP Developer

ROLE SUMMARY

Pfizer Digital & Technology is a customer-oriented, front-line organization with a vision to Win the Digital Race in Pharma and Unleash the Power of our Colleagues by creating compelling digital experiences for our internal and external audiences.

MAPP (My Anti-corruption Policy and Procedures) is Pfizer’s compliance platform designed to uphold the company’s commitment to ethical business practices and adherence to global anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. The MAPP solution provides a centralized digital framework for managing, documenting, and approving interactions with healthcare professionals (HCPs), government officials, and third-party entities across global markets. The solution is a cornerstone of Pfizer’s compliance infrastructure, ensuring that all business activities are conducted with integrity and transparency.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing, testing, and supporting robust, scalable, and secure Appian applications that support critical business processes across the enterprise.

The position requires solid, hands-on proficiency in Appian platform capabilities—including process models, interfaces, rules, data design, integrations, and modern low‑code patterns—and sound judgment in applying established best practices to create maintainable, future‑proof solutions. In addition to hands‑on development, this role contributes to design discussions, and stays current with new Appian features and industry trends to support continuous improvement

In this role, you will need to work collaboratively with individuals across teams and functions to achieve the business outcomes.

• 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.
