Designs, implements, governs, and maintains the overall architectural framework for ServiceNow solutions, ensuring scalability, security, and alignment with business goals and industry best practices (ITIL, CSDM)
Oversee the deployment, administration, and maintenance of ServiceNow instances, ensuring configuration consistency across development, QA, and production environments, and managing upgrades and performance optimization
Act as a ServiceNow subject matter expert (SME), providing technical guidance and mentorship to development teams, conducting code reviews, and enforcing architectural standards and governance processes
Create estimations on effort required to produce ServiceNow functionality
Serve as the technical owner and subject matter expert for our Azure cloud environment. This “ownership role” is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust, scalable, and secure cloud solutions
Understand Azure architecture principles and the ability to architect sophisticated solutions, including Virtual Networks (VNETs), networking, and peering configurations.
Lead the implementation of high-availability and scalable solutions across availability zones and regions, while also managing and securing traffic with application firewalls and gateways.
Contribute to critical system integrations, including the effective use of automation and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools such as GitLab, Terraform, and Ansible
Advise and oversee the software testing process to ensure that all NFRs are clearly tested
Provide analysis of security protection technologies as necessary
Collaborate closely with system and software architects and product teams to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize our system and software development lifecycle
Identify potential risks and issues related to the solution and take appropriate steps to mitigate them
Provide expert-level support for complex incidents, performing root cause analysis and ensuring platform stability and performance
Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation (design specifications, architecture diagrams, process flows) and effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders to create alignment between customers, management, and engineering staff
Serve as the technical advisor, overseeing all technical aspects of implementations, resolving technical issues, and defining best practices for configuration, scripting, and workflow automation
Serve as the primary technical face of the organization to key customers and stakeholders
Proactively ensure customer satisfaction, deeply understand their mission-critical needs and strategic objectives, and drive alignment between customer expectations and the engineering organization’s delivery roadmap to guarantee successful mission outcomes
Refine, elaborate, and document customer requirements
Define and document appropriate technologies to satisfy requirements
Collaborate with engineering teams to solve technical problems and prioritize issues
