Senior Software Engineer II

The Opportunity

We are seeking experienced Manager-level Engineers to join the Operations Data and Analytics organization. These are senior individual contributor engineering roles reporting directly to the Director and providing technical leadership across ServiceNow, IT Service Management, automation, integrations, observability, and operational engineering.

A primary focus of these positions will be the design and development of enterprise capabilities supporting Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Management, and the CMDB capabilities and configuration data that enable those processes .

This role is designed for an experienced engineer who can independently own complex technical problems, influence architecture and engineering standards, mentor less-experienced engineers, and work across organizational boundaries to deliver enterprise-scale solutions.

While the role carries a Manager-level title, it does not have direct people-management responsibilities . Success will come through technical expertise, ownership, influence, execution, and the ability to raise the engineering capability of the broader team.

- 5+ years of professional software engineering or platform engineering experience , with demonstrated ability to independently deliver complex enterprise technology solutions.
- Significant hands-on experience developing solutions on the ServiceNow platform .
- Hands-on development experience with Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Management, and CMDB capabilities within ServiceNow.
- Strong understanding of ServiceNow development practices, platform architecture, workflows, integrations, APIs, and data models.
- Working knowledge of ITIL and ITSM processes .
- Experience developing or integrating CMDB capabilities that support ITSM workflows and operational decision-making.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, including application design, APIs, data structures, automated testing, source control, and CI/CD.
- Experience with JavaScript and technologies used within the ServiceNow development ecosystem.
- Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and web services.
- Experience developing and supporting production applications in a large enterprise environment.
- Ability to independently troubleshoot complex technical, data, integration, and production issues.
- Strong communication skills and demonstrated ability to influence technical decisions across teams.
- ServiceNow development, implementation, or architecture certifications.
- Experience with ServiceNow capabilities such as IntegrationHub, Flow Designer, CSDM, Event Management, Discovery, Service Mapping, or related platform capabilities.
- Experience with Git, Jenkins, or comparable CI/CD technologies.
- Familiarity with cloud and open-source technologies.
- Experience with Site Reliability Engineering or application support organizations.
- Experience in financial services or another highly regulated technology environment.
- Independently own complex technical problems from definition through production implementation.
- Exercise sound technical judgment and know when to involve architects, leadership, or other subject-matter experts.
- Influence technical direction through expertise and credibility rather than organizational authority.
- Mentor and support less-experienced engineers.
- Identify systemic problems rather than repeatedly solving individual symptoms.
- Look for opportunities to simplify, standardize, automate, and improve existing solutions.
- Communicate technical concepts and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Challenge existing approaches constructively when a better engineering solution is available.
- Balance delivery requirements with quality, reliability, security, and long-term maintainability.
