Job Description

Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform

Our goal is to build a robust, high performing, and scalable data platform that can support transactional, analytical, and various other workloads our customers deploy. Our data platform engineering team is responsible for building the core engines, persistence layer and tools supporting these use cases. This includes developing in-memory and on-disk data structures and algorithms, row/columnar stores, and caches. Given the ServiceNow platform footprint, even the smallest optimization can have a dramatic impact for our customers and our bottom line.

We are looking for systems level engineers who have experience with low level storage, memory, and CPU optimization to help us achieve those goals. You will work directly with other engineers on the Data Platform team in solving challenging problems in scaling and querying large data sets efficiently both vertically and horizontally.

What you get to do in this role:

  • • Be part of a team of super-smart engineers building the next-gen database platform using and contributing to the latest open-source technologies
  • • Analyze storage/memory/compute performance and scalability bottlenecks in the system to provide appropriate solutions
  • • Improve reliability and observability by designing and building self-diagnostic and self-healing system capabilities
  • • Build modules to efficiently manage multiple processes (startup/monitor/restart/shutdown) in both vertical and horizontal scale


Qualifications

What you bring to this role:

  • • Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD degree in Computer Science or equivalent, with deep knowledge of Operating systems or Database systems
  • • Experience working on OS kernel, memory manager, and/or multi-threaded software modules
  • • 5+ years of software development experience coding in C, C++, or equivalent low-level languages
  • • Strong technical skills with a proven record of architecture (SMP/MPP) & design experience in building large scale distributed systems
  • • Experience with cloud architecture is a plus
  • • Ability to handle multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • • Excellent written, verbal communication and Inter-Personal skills with the ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to a variety of audiences

Work Personas

Work personas are categories that are assigned to employees depending on the nature of their work. Employees will fall into one of three categories: Remote, Flexible or Required in Office.

Required in Office

A required in office work persona is defined as an employee who is contracted to work from or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office. This persona is required to work from their assigned workplace location 100% of the work week based on the business needs of their role.

Flexible

A flexible work persona is defined as an employee who is contracted to work from or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office and will work from their assigned workplace location roughly 3 days/week or less (generally around 40-60% of the work week). Flexible employees may choose to work the remaining working time from their workplace location or home. Flexible employees are required to work within their state, province, region, or country of employment.

Remote

A remote work persona is defined as an employee who performs their responsibilities exclusively outside of a ServiceNow workplace and is not contracted or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office, including those whose place of work (pursuant to their terms and conditions of employment) is their home. Remote employees are required to work within their state, province, region, or country of employment.

An Insider's view of ServiceNow

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

I am a working mom, and I appreciate the privilege of being able to work from home when I need to adjust my hours. I could be offline for two hours in the middle of the day because there's a school event for my kids. To be able to do so without the pressure of, "Oh my goodness! Now it's going to make me look bad," I don't take that for granted.

Kurdin

Manager, Strategy & Operations

What does your typical day look like?

I work in global cloud services and constantly collaborate with people–every day is different. I could be working on product design, collaborating with folks in other organizations, driving decisions, assessing technology, and talking with customers.

Bill

Distinguished Systems Architect

What does career growth look like on your team?

Since joining ServiceNow, I've built out my leadership team, and 60% are women. My goal for my team is to create opportunities and a platform to showcase the incredible impact that they're having on the business, whether that's having them lead a critical initiative with cross-functional visibility or present during a C-suite meeting.

Vanessa

President, ServiceNow.org

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

In this expanding hybrid world, people conduct millions of transactions on a regular basis, creating more data and processes to manage. So, continuing to offer new solutions, while scaling to the expectations of the modern world, is a challenge we are excited to take on. We are driving new levels of productivity, automation, and innovation.

Pat

Chief Technology Officer

What are some things you learned at the company?

Sometimes, we feel a little self-conscious. We may feel intimated or too shy to share our points of view. But in order to make an impact, we need to be able to trust our voice.

Ying

Director, Product Design
