She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone-freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow- helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.\nJoin us to put AI to work for people.\nServiceNow is moving from a workflow platform with AI features to an AI platform where agents do the work. That shift depends entirely on whether the operational data underneath it can be trusted, which is the problem this role owns.\nThe ITOM Solution Architect designs and leads technical delivery of ServiceNow ITOM solutions across CMDB and service data foundations, Discovery, Service Mapping, ITOM Health, event intelligence, and service observability, and increasingly designs the agentic layer built on top of them. The role moves fluidly between deep technical design and executive advisory, with the judgement to give customers evidence-based assessments of their operational maturity rather than aspirational ones.\nWhat you'll do:\nArchitect the data foundation\nOwn ITOM architecture: Discovery, Service Graph Connectors, Agent Client Collector, CMDB/CSDM design, IRE and reconciliation, and Service Mapping strategy \nDesign and data foundations AI-ready and trustworthy \nDesign sustainable data population architecture, including MID Server and collection topologies that hold up under real enterprise network and security constraints \nDesign the event intelligence and observability layer\nArchitect ITOM Health and Service Observability with SLO-based Service Reliability Management as one signal-to-service model \nIntegrate existing monitoring estates (for example, Dynatrace, Datadog, SolarWinds, Splunk) \nDefine operational success: noise reduction, alert-to-CI coverage, MTTR, and service health accuracy \nDesign and govern the agentic layer\nDesign where ServiceNow Otto and AI agents fit operationally, including alert triage, detecting and correcting CMDB issues, and autonomous SLO creation \nBuild custom agentic workflows in AI Agent Studio where out-of-box coverage stops \nBuild guardrails before automation, especially in regulated environments \nAdvise and lead\nGive honest current-state assessments, including telling customers when they are not ready for the use case they came in asking for \nTranslate architecture into business outcomes for CIOs and infrastructure leaders: risk, cost, and toil avoided \nFlag integration, data-quality, and scalability risk before it hits delivery \nKeep architecture consistent with engagement managers, technical consultants, and platform architects \nSupport pre-sales scoping with realistic effort and sequencing \nContribute reusable IP to the practice and mentor consultants toward architect capability \nAdvise on release cadence and upgrade sequencing as part of architecture, not an afterthought\nWhy join us\nShape the architecture of multi-million-dollar transformation programs from the first design conversation \nWork on the problem that determines whether autonomous IT actually works: trustworthy operational data \nJoin a practice that invests in architect development and values honest delivery over optimistic scoping\n Required:\nSubstantial ServiceNow ITOM delivery experience at architect or lead level on large, multi-workstream programs \nDemonstrated depth in CMDB architecture, CSDM alignment, IRE and reconciliation design, and Discovery pattern design \nWorking command of ITOM Visibility and ITOM Health, including enterprise-scale Event Management design \nPractical experience applying AI to operational work, and the judgement to know where it helps and where it does not \nInfrastructure and cloud fluency: hybrid and multi-cloud architecture, containers and Kubernetes, and the network and security constraints that affect discovery and monitoring \nIntegration fluency: REST, MID Server architecture, credential and certificate handling, and event and telemetry ingestion patterns \nExecutive presence, with the ability to hold a design position under challenge and explain it without jargon \nA collaborative, one-team posture across sales, solution consulting, and delivery \nPreferred\nExperience designing agentic solutions in AI Agent Studio \nExperience governing AI through AI Control Tower, including scope, autonomy, escalation, and value measurement \nAdjacent ITAM (HAM/SAM) or SecOps experience, given shared CMDB dependencies \nScripting fluency sufficient to review and debug pattern, transform, and event-rule logic \nCertifications\nRequired: CIS-Data Foundations, CIS-Discovery, CIS-Service Mapping, and CIS-Event Management, held or obtained within an agreed window \nPreferred: CSA; ArchX, CTA, or CMA for architect-track candidates; and current experience with Now Assist, ServiceNow Otto, and AI Agents \n Work Personas\nWe approach our distributed world of work with flexibility and trust. Work personas (flexible, remote, or required in office) are categories that are assigned to ServiceNow employees depending on the nature of their work and their assigned work location.
