This position reports to Sr. Manager, Systems Engineering Cloud Advancement Team

ServiceNow is changing the way people work. With a service-orientation toward the activities, tasks, and processes that make up day-to-day work life, we help the modern enterprise operate faster and be more scalable than ever before.

ServiceNow has been serving customers for 17 years and has built a resilient and robust business, with a solid customer base. The Cloud Infrastructure Systems Engineering team at ServiceNow is looking for help to architect and build the server infrastructure and core services that allow our SaaS platform to run at scale and with high availability. We are looking for a skilled Systems Engineer who can help craft the technology and processes needed to sustain ServiceNow’s growth while gaining valuable experience in modern systems and software development. This role is available in our Kirkland, Washington, San Diego, California offices, or applicable remote locations.

• Is an excellent oral and written communicator
• Has experience working with Agile software development methodologies (Previous SPRINT/SCRUM experience)
• Has integrity, and honesty and can uphold ServiceNow’s values

While these are not ‘musts’, they are undoubtedly nice-to-have:
