Job description

Company Description

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 the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.

Join us to put AI to work for people.

Job Description

Responsibilities

1. Leadership and Team Management

Lead, mentor, and inspire a talented engineering team, cultivating fluency with AI-assisted development so the team treats AI harnesses as a core part of how they build, not an afterthought.
Foster a positive, collaborative environment that encourages innovation, responsible AI adoption, and professional growth.
Manage day-to-day activities, set performance goals, and ensure the team meets project deadlines — including throughput expectations that reflect AI-augmented workflows.

2. Project Management

Oversee planning, execution, and delivery of software projects within agreed timelines and quality standards.
Work closely with project managers, product owners, and stakeholders to ensure clear communication and alignment with business objectives.

3. Technical Expertise

Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies — particularly the fast-moving AI developer tooling landscape (coding agents, MCP-based toolchains, agentic workflows) — and guide the team on best practices.
Collaborate to solve complex technical challenges and make informed decisions on technology stack, architecture, and where AI meaningfully accelerates delivery.

4. Quality Assurance

Ensure robust testing processes that keep quality high even as AI accelerates code generation — with the human review bar rising, not falling.
Implement and enforce coding standards, code reviews, and practices that hold AI-generated and human-written code to the same standard.

5. Collaboration and Communication

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, UX/UI, QA) to ensure seamless integration of components.
Communicate effectively with team members, stakeholders, and leadership, providing regular updates on status, challenges, and successes.
