ServiceNow AI Architect 10+ years

About the Role

We are looking for a ServiceNow AI Architect to define and lead the design of AI-enabled workflows on the ServiceNow platform. You will turn business problems into scalable, secure and governed solutions that use Now Assist, Generative AI Controller, Predictive Intelligence, AI Search and Agentic AI capabilities, along with external large language models where they add value.

This is a hands-on architecture role. You will work with business leaders, platform owners, data teams and delivery squads to shape the AI roadmap, set technical standards and make sure AI features reach production safely and deliver measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the end-to-end AI architecture for ServiceNow across ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, CSM, SPM, SecOps and custom applications.
• Design and implement Now Assist, Predictive Intelligence, Virtual Agent, AI Search and AI Agents use cases, such as case summarization, resolution recommendations, intelligent routing and knowledge generation.
• Integrate third-party and enterprise LLMs (for example Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI) through the Generative AI Controller, IntegrationHub, REST and MID Server patterns.
• Architect retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions, grounding AI responses in the CMDB, knowledge bases, Workflow Data Fabric and external data sources.
• Establish AI governance, including responsible AI guidelines, prompt standards, human-in-the-loop controls, data privacy, access control and auditability.
• Lead proofs of concept and pilots, define success metrics and build business cases that quantify value such as deflection, MTTR reduction and agent productivity.
• Set platform standards for performance, scalability, upgrade-safe development and instance health across AI-enabled applications.
• Guide and mentor developers, platform engineers and consultants. Run design reviews and make sure delivery follows architecture principles.
• Partner with security, data and compliance teams to address risk, model behaviour, data residency and regulatory requirements.
• Track the ServiceNow release cycle and the wider AI landscape, and advise stakeholders on emerging capabilities and their adoption.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10–15 years in enterprise IT, with at least 5 years of hands‑on ServiceNow architecture or senior technical lead experience.
• Proven delivery of at least two AI or machine learning initiatives on ServiceNow, covering Now Assist, Predictive Intelligence, Virtual Agent or AI Search.
• Strong working knowledge of generative AI concepts: LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, guardrails and model evaluation.
• Deep expertise in the ServiceNow platform: scripting (JavaScript, Flow Designer, Workflow Studio), the CMDB and Common Services Data Model, Integration Hub and REST/SOAP integrations.
• Experience designing secure, scalable solutions on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS or GCP), including identity, data protection and API management.
• Sound grasp of AI governance, data privacy and compliance frameworks such as the DPDP Act, GDPR and ISO/IEC 42001.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present architecture decisions to both technical and executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Agentic AI on ServiceNow, AI Agent Orchestrator and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.
• Familiarity with Python, vector databases, MLOps practices and data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks.
• Background in enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF.
• Experience in an Agile or SAFe delivery environment, and in consulting or pre-sales architecture.
