He served as Ceylon's Trade Commissioner and a District Judge and held multiple appointments as President of the Royal Asiatic Society of Sri Lanka. It has been remarked that Pieris was never given a position in the Civil Service that was commensurate with his intellect and ability, and as such he turned his attention toward in depth historical research on the European occupation in Ceylon from the 16th Century onwards. He carried out extensive historical research in Ceylon and he was several times elected the President of the Royal Asiatic Society of Ceylon having last held the role from 1932 to 1934 to whose journal he contributed frequently from 1904 to 1948. He further single-handedly edited the journal during the years of World War II when the society's functions were greatly disrupted by external factors.
