Job Description
The Cloud Infrastructure Systems Engineering team at ServiceNow is looking for help to architect and build the server infrastructure and core services that allow our SaaS platform to run at scale and with high availability. We are looking for a skilled Systems Engineer who can help craft the technology and processes needed to sustain ServiceNow’s growth while gaining valuable experience in modern systems and software development. This role is available in our Kirkland, Washington or San Diego, California offices.
What you get to do in this role:
- Write and maintain software-defined declarative infrastructure, at scale.
- Create build systems, web services, and automation tools that are thoroughly specified, documented, and testable.
- Build orchestration workflows by leveraging features of the ServiceNow platform.
- Research and implement new open-source and commercial tools, technologies and methodologies
- Collaborate with peer teams who have built world-class networking and orchestration solutions
Qualifications
To be successful in this role you have:
- Can figure things out. You will have documentation and many peers to turn to for help, but your work will touch many interconnected systems and technologies; too many to rely solely on others’ knowledge. To succeed you will need to investigate and discover on your own.
- Is very comfortable building and maintaining Linux-based systems through automated tooling such as (but not limited to) Terraform, Cobbler, Puppet, Ansible, etc.
- Is comfortable with virtualization using both public and private cloud infrastructure technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon EC2, VMWare vSphere, etc.
- Is comfortable designing, authoring, testing, and debugging code in a popular systems language such as Python, Go, Java, or Ruby
- Has a working understanding of related infrastructure concepts such as IP networking, block and file storage, load-balancers, etc.
- Has a working understanding of related internet protocols such as DNS, LDAP, NTP, SMTP, HTTP, etc.
- Is an excellent oral and written communicator
- Has integrity, honesty and can uphold ServiceNow’s values
While these are not ‘musts’, they are undoubtedly nice-to-have:
- Full time software development experience
- Relevant Azure, AWS or GCP certifications
- Deep experience with Terraform (any provider, but especially Azure)
