What you'll do
- Convert product requirements, business goals, and ambiguous problem statements into structured, testable specifications — with clear scope, interfaces, constraints, non-goals, and acceptance criteria — that both engineers and AI agents can act on with high accuracy.
- Drive technical design and architecture for Workplace Service Delivery, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability across multi-tenant enterprise deployments.
- Define the data models, composable building blocks, and integration contracts that underpin employee self-service, request management, and WSD×CSM/FSM workflows.
- Decompose work into agent-sized tasks and direct AI coding agents to generate, modify, and refactor production code across multiple files and services — supervising several workstreams in parallel.
- Author and maintain the context that drives correct results: system prompts, agent configuration files, architectural decision records, glossaries, golden examples, and agent-readable documentation.
- Determine when to delegate to an agent versus implement directly, making sound sequencing decisions before work begins and course-correcting quickly when output diverges from intent.
- Design and maintain the constraints that make agent output trustworthy at scale: automated tests (including property-based and mutation tests), evaluation suites, CI/CD quality gates, and least-privilege execution environments.
- Rigorously evaluate code — human- or agent-generated — for correctness, spec adherence, security, performance, and maintainability, confirming behaviour matches intent and that edge cases and failure modes are genuinely handled.
Who can apply
- Build measurable evaluation frameworks — benchmarks, golden datasets, continuous evaluation pipelines, and drift detection — that hold production AI to the same rigour as deterministically testable software.
- Take end-to-end responsibility for the software you ship: integrate changes safely, monitor production, and feed production signals back into specs and evaluation sets.
- Defend against risks specific to AI-integrated systems: prompt injection, sensitive-data and secret leakage, tool-access governance, and model abuse — translated into concrete engineering controls.
- Monitor production AI for hallucinations, behavioural drift, and safety regressions; maintain agent observability through reasoning traces and model quality telemetry; implement rollback mechanisms when autonomous behaviour deviates from intent.
- Treat the development process itself as a product: trace failures back to missing specs or context gaps, refine prompts, tests, and guardrails, and raise the team's overall throughput and reliability — not just your own.
- Mentor and grow lead engineers and senior engineers, investing in their AI-native fluency, architectural judgment, and verification rigour.
- Collaborate with product managers and UX designers to translate requirements and mockups into fully functional, accessible, and delightful employee experiences.
- 10+ years of experience designing and building scalable, reusable enterprise software products and components.
About ServiceNow
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…
