What you will do:

  • Build high-quality, scalable, clean, and reusable applications and integration solutions using ServiceNow platform and related technologies. 
  • Partner with the product owners to understand detailed requirements and own your code from design, implementation, test automation and delivery of high-quality products to our users.

  • Own critical technical initiatives from planning to deployment, continuously refining and improving existing applications and services. 
  • Explore the latest ServiceNow features and evaluate them for adoption 
  • Develop proof-of-concept and prototype solutions to validate architectural, design decisions and demonstrate feasibility. 
  • Establish and promote best practices around platform development, integrations, and performance optimization. 
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement by sharing best practices in engineering and quality  
  • Mentor and guide engineers, fostering technical excellence and professional growth within the team.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of software engineering, with a record of technical direction adopted beyond your immediate team.  
  • Effective, accountable use of AI coding assistants and agents. 
  • Direct, hands-on experience authoring agentic instructions and prompts, designing autonomous workflows, and building the evaluation that verifies them.  
  • Production experience with LLM APIs, retrieval-grounded features, agent orchestration, tool and function calling, and structured output enforcement — including at least one model or orchestration migration carried through production.  
  • Experience in system design, APIs, data modelling, and testing across front-end, server-side, and relational data work with a high quality mindset. 
  • Experience in software stack including Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, React and demonstrated ability to quickly learn new tools and frameworks.  
  • Familiarity with automated testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Selenium, TestNG, Playwright) and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines. 
  • On-call and incident-command experience on customer-facing systems, including ownership of the systemic fixes that followed.  
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and optimize performance across the stack. 
  • Bachelor's degree in CS, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.  

Good to have:  

  • Experience using AI Coding tools such as Claude or Codex. 
  • CRM domain knowledge and working experience
