Job description

Position: AI Engineer

Client: ServiceNow

Location: Santa Clara, CA

Skills: AI/ML, Agentic AI, Claude AI

Key Responsibilities

• Now Assist Skills & AI Agents
  • Design, develop, and deploy custom Now Assist skills using ServiceNow’s AI skill framework.
  • Build and configure AI Agents and Agentic AI workflows on the Now Platform (topic orchestration, action steps, guardrails).
  • Extend Now Assist capabilities with domain‑specific prompts, grounding rules, and RAG‑based knowledge retrieval.
• MCP Server Development (ServiceNow‑side)
  • Architect and implement MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose ServiceNow data and actions to external AI models.
  • Design tool schemas, resource endpoints, and prompt templates following the MCP specification.
  • Ensure secure, performant, and well‑documented MCP interfaces for ServiceNow tables, workflows, and APIs.
• Claude Skills & Connectors
  • Author Claude skills (SKILL.md‑based) that leverage ServiceNow data via MCP connectors, Snowflake, and REST APIs.
  • Build Claude connectors that interface with ServiceNow MCP servers to enable agentic task execution (e.g., record creation, case triage, data lookups).
  • Develop multi‑step AI workflows combining Claude tool use, search, and ServiceNow actions.
• Platform Integration & Architecture
  • Integrate AI capabilities into UIB portals, workspaces, and custom apps.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define AI feature roadmaps and technical standards.
  • Build evaluation frameworks and observability tooling for AI skill quality, latency, and accuracy.
• Innovation & Evangelism
  • Stay current with advances in AI orchestration (MCP, function calling, tool use, multi‑agent systems).
  • Prototype new AI‑powered experiences and present POCs to leadership.
  • Contribute to internal knowledge bases, design patterns, and developer enablement for AI adoption.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years focused on AI/ML, NLP, or applied LLM integration.
• Hands‑on experience with ServiceNow platform development (scoped apps, scripted REST APIs, Flow Designer, Integration Hub).
• Experience building or consuming MCP servers (Model Context Protocol) — understanding of tool schemas, resource patterns, and prompt routing.
• Working knowledge of Now Assist, AI Agents, or similar ServiceNow AI features (skill authoring, AI Search, Virtual Agent).
• Proficiency with LLM APIs and prompt engineering (Claude/Anthropic, OpenAI, or equivalent).
• Strong skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and REST/GraphQL API design.
• Experience with RAG architectures, vector databases, and knowledge grounding techniques.
• Understanding of authentication and security patterns (OAuth 2.0, API keys, ACLs, domain separation).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience authoring Claude skills (SKILL.md pattern) and building AI‑powered artifacts/applications.
• Familiarity with Anthropic’s tool‑use and function‑calling paradigms.
• Hands‑on experience with Snowflake, EDP, or ServiceNow’s data platform stack.
• Experience with WalkMe, UXA, Performance Analytics, or other ServiceNow analytics tools.
• Background in customer success, support, or CSM domain workflows.
• Contributions to open‑source AI tooling, MCP ecosystem projects, or developer communities.
• ServiceNow certifications (CSA, CAD, CIS‑CSM) are a plus.
