It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. 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.
Join us to put AI to work for people.
What you get to do in this role:
- Build and ship AI-powered features that are simple to use and deliver real value to customers.
- Write clean, scalable, reusable code and uphold engineering best practices: code reviews, unit testing, and automated test coverage that keeps releases stable and production-ready.
- Work with product owners to understand detailed requirements, and own your work end to end from design and implementation through test automation and delivery.
- Design software and APIs that customers can easily extend and customize to meet their specific needs.
- Build accessible, performant, componentized user interfaces that work consistently across web, workspace and mobile experiences.
- Investigate and resolve customer-reported defects and escalations, finding root causes across client, server and platform layers.
- Help design and implement new products and features while enhancing the existing product suite.
To be successful in this role you have:
- Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry.
- 2+ years of experience with Java or a similar OO language, and strong JavaScript skills.
- A passion for the Web as a platform, reusability and componentization, with experience in a modern UI framework such as Angular, React or Vue.
- Experience with data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, design patterns, and performance and scale considerations.
- Experience building or consuming REST APIs. Exposure to generative AI or LLM-based features (prompting, grounding, evaluating output quality) is a plus.
- Experience with test automation and a strong quality mindset, plus a working understanding of web accessibility.
- Strong analytical, debugging and design skills.
- Working knowledge of everyday tools: IDE, debugger, build tools, source control, ServiceNow instances, profilers, and system administration and Unix tools.
