Company Description It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy.

Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow - helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better.

5+ years of hands-on experience working on a SaaS, PaaS, or Cloud Infrastructure product/solution
Unix skills: including development, navigation, file manipulation, permissions, searching/finding files and text contents, and administrative actions
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with an aptitude for learning new technologies
And most importantly, eagerness to learn everything about the ServiceNow Platform

Desired Skills:

Experience with ServiceNow platform, scripting, tuning, and troubleshooting is highly preferred.
Scripting: basic shell scripting, Python, Javascript, Ansible
Good understanding of schemas, table spaces, indexing, and database performance optimization
Familiarity or knowledge of CentOS/RedHat operating system
Formal experience on a DevOps(Kubernetes and CICD pipeline) or Performance or support team supporting a Web-Based application is desired.
