• Proven experience working in a hands-on ServiceNow development role, with expertise and relevant certification; CSA (Certified System Administrator), CAD (Certified Application Developer) and CIS in ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, CSM, or other key modules.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, ServiceNow scripting (Business Rules, Client Scripts, Script Includes), Flow Designer, IntegrationHub, and REST/SOAP APIs.
• Experience integrating ServiceNow with third-party systems using APIs, web services, and automation tools.
• Experience leading development teams, mentoring junior developers, and driving technical initiatives.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to identify and resolve issues efficiently.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to interact with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
