• Translate product outcomes into delivery plans (scope, sequencing, resourcing, milestones, risks) and manage trade-offs.
• Ensure engineering practices meet security, resiliency, compliance, and operational standards throughout the SDLC.
• Establish and enforce quality mechanisms (code review standards, testing expectations, definition of done).
• Drive platform engineering discipline for ServiceNow (configuration vs customization, upgrade-safe patterns, reuse).
• Partner with product, architecture, risk/control, and operations stakeholders to align priorities and resolve escalations.
• Lead adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices and SDLC/TLM automation, with clear human validation expectations and secure handling of inputs/outputs.
• Build operational excellence: incident learnings, root-cause management, reduction of recurring issues, and improved runbooks/on-call readiness.
• Manage hiring, onboarding, and performance management to build a high-performing team and healthy talent pipeline.
• Use delivery/quality metrics (predictability, throughput, defects, stability) to drive continuous improvement across teams.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts with 5+ years of applied experience.
• Demonstrated people leadership (coaching/mentoring; performance management and/or team leadership responsibilities).
• Experience leading delivery for complex technology initiatives across the SDLC.
• Strong understanding of agile methodologies and modern engineering practices (planning, CI/CD concepts, continuous improvement).
• Strong understanding of application resiliency and operational readiness expectations in production environments.
• Strong understanding of secure engineering practices and working in controlled/regulated environments.
• Experience managing stakeholders and dependencies across multiple teams and functions.
• Experience leading teams working on ServiceNow and/or enterprise workflow/platform implementations.
• Experience defining and scaling responsible usage of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development tools (ways of working, validation, measurement).
• Understanding of responsible AI use (data sensitivity, secure inputs/outputs, governance expectations) with ability to coach teams accordingly.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to drive alignment and escalate effectively.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Prior hands-on ServiceNow development or deep familiarity with ServiceNow architecture and delivery patterns.
• ServiceNow certifications (CSA/CAD/CIS or related).
• Experience with large-scale integrations (APIs, event-driven patterns) and platform modernization.
• Familiarity with observability practices, SLOs/SLAs, and incident/problem management in production.
• Cloud familiarity (AWS/Azure concepts) and automation-first engineering mindset.
• Experience building multi-team operating rhythms (OKRs, quarterly planning, metrics-driven execution).
• Experience leading change in large organizations (process improvements, standardization, adoption).
