• Write unit tests and assist in developing automated test suites using ServiceNow ATF.
• Build and maintain integrations using REST/SOAP APIs, and troubleshoot integration issues with assistance from senior team members.
• Work on defect resolution, enhancements, and operational support needs.
• Partner with business analysts, testers, and senior developers to interpret requirements and translate them into working solutions.
• Stay current with ServiceNow platform releases, Now Assist updates, and the evolving AI/ML landscape as it applies to enterprise service management.

• Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts including prompt engineering, LLM APIs, and automation techniques applicable to the ServiceNow platform.
• Hands‑on experience with ServiceNow's AI/ML capabilities — including Virtual Agent, Predictive Intelligence, Now Assist, or AI Search — is strongly desired.
• Experience with ServiceNow ATF or other automated testing approaches.
• Ability to interpret functional requirements and turn them into technical specifications and working features.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA).
