Configure and tune models for ITSM use cases, evaluate new AI capabilities for enterprise fit, and treat data quality and CMDB health as a precondition for AI performance.
• Integration & Automation Engineer: design, develop, and implement integrations between ServiceNow and enterprise systems using REST, SOAP, MID Server, and IntegrationHub. Build automation and workflow solutions using Flow Designer, Business Rules, and scripted REST APIs, ensuring seamless data flow and process automation across ITSM and adjacent domains.
