We own the flywheel: more builders * more integrations shipped * better assistant * more demand. We build scalable infrastructure first, then the products on top of it. Platform engineering discipline meets developer-facing product thinking. The Role You own the technical foundation the team ships on. You design and build the hardest platform problems - generality, scalability, extensibility - while keeping developer experience as the measure. You think in systems. You ship. You bring others along. What You'll Do * Design and build core developer platforms: SDKs, APIs, runtime abstractions, tooling infrastructure, developer-facing services * Own end-to-end delivery of products that increase developer productivity: faster time-to-market, higher-quality artifacts, lower friction * Define platform primitives other products build on - bias toward generality, reliability, clean abstractions * Drive measurable supply metrics: developer activation, integration velocity, artifact quality, ecosystem breadth * Lead technical strategy for your platform areas: roadmap, API design, cross-team alignment * Set the engineering bar: architecture, design standards, observability, operational excellence * Mentor senior engineers; raise the team's technical depth What We Look For at Senior Staff Level You're a multiplier. You trace developer pain to platform gaps, design general solutions, ship them in ways that unlock categories of use cases. You raise the abstraction level of everything you touch. You shape product decisions from the technical side. Your mentees have gone on to senior roles or owned critical systems., We approach our distributed world of work with flexibility and trust. Work personas (flexible, remote, or required in office) are categories that are assigned to ServiceNow employees depending on the nature of their work and their assigned work location.
