Job summary

ServiceNow, Inc. in San Diego, CA, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Data Platform team to design and implement features within our cloud-native platform.

You will build and operate features end-to-end, collaborate with senior engineers, emphasize reliability, scalability, and observability, and spend significant time hands-on with automation, tooling, and platform services. Hybrid work with two days in the office.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software development experience with a Bachelor's degree; OR 3+ years with a Master's degree; OR a PhD without experience; OR equivalent work experience.
• Hands-on experience building production software with exposure to deploying and operating workloads on Kubernetes.
• Some hands-on experience with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP) and its core compute and networking primitives.
• A track record of reliably delivering features and improvements as a productive member of an engineering team.
• Working knowledge of containers, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based development workflows.
• Good programming skills in Go (or another systems language with a willingness to work primarily in Go).

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate features and services within the cloud-native platform, delivering well-defined work from implementation through to production with limited guidance.
• Break features down into clear, executable tasks and deliver them iteratively, raising risks and trade-offs as you find them.
• Collaborate with staff and senior engineers to align your work with the team’s designs and the platform’s standards.
• Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and operability of what you build - writing tests and instrumentation, improving runbooks, and participating in on-call.
• Spend nearly all of your time hands‑on building - automation, tooling, and platform services that other teams depend on.
• Support junior engineers through code review, pairing, and sharing what you learn.
