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.\nWhat you get to do in this role:\nYou will design, build, and operate components of our Kubernetes platform and its core subsystems, owning a well-scoped area end to end.\nYou will write and review a lot of Go-controllers, operators, platform services, and the automation around them.\nYou will take a defined problem with open design questions and drive it to a working, production-ready answer, checking in on direction rather than needing it handed to you.\nYou will help operate what the team builds: on-call, incident investigation, and the follow-up work that stops the same failure twice.\nYou will contribute to how workloads run on the platform, working with the teams that depend on it.\nYou will work on a platform that serves regulated markets, where compliance constraints including FedRAMP shape design choices.\n To be successful in this role you have:\nExperience leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into engineering work - whether using AI-powered coding and operational tooling, automating workflows, or reasoning about how AI changes the way software and infrastructure are built.\nAlready built and shipped Kubernetes infrastructure or platform components in production. A smaller scope than a whole platform is fine, but it needs to be something you designed and owned, not something you configured or consumed.\n5+ years building production software, with real experience running workloads on Kubernetes and debugging them when they misbehave.\n Solid programming skills in Go, or strong systems-language skills and a clear willingness to work primarily in Go.\nWorking experience with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP), including its core compute, networking, and IAM primitives.\nComfort with containers, CI/CD and GitOps-based delivery, and infrastructure-as-code.\nCuriosity about how AI changes platform engineering-using AI-powered tooling, automating operational work, or thinking about what it means for how infrastructure is built and run.\nIt also helps if you have:\nExperience building Kubernetes controllers or operators with the operator pattern.\nExposure to container networking (CNI), service mesh, or workload identity and mTLS.\nExperience with secrets management, certificate lifecycle, or similar core platform subsystems.\nExperience with observability tooling-metrics, tracing, and SLOs.\nExperience with managed Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), Terraform, or Crossplane.\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. Learn more here. To determine eligibility for a work persona, ServiceNow may confirm the distance between your primary residence and the closest ServiceNow office using a third-party service.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nServiceNow is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, gender identity, veteran status, or any other category protected by law. In addition, all qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with legal requirements.\nAccommodations\nWe strive to create an accessible and inclusive experience for all candidates. If you require a reasonable accommodation to complete any part of the application process, or are unable to use this online application and need an alternative method to apply, please contact  for assistance.\nExport Control Regulations\nFor positions requiring access to controlled technology subject to export control regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), ServiceNow may be required to obtain export control approval from government authorities for certain individuals. All employment is contingent upon ServiceNow obtaining any export license or other approval that may be required by relevant export control authorities.\nFrom Fortune. ©2026 Fortune Media IP Limited.
