Original job description

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. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone - freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow - helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started. Join us to put AI to work for people.

Job Description

5+ years of experience supporting or testing large scale web-based distributed applications
5+ years of experience on multiple relational databases (especially on Postgres database)
The database experience should include but not limited to MVCC, transaction management, vacuum mechanics, database and query performance tuning, buffer management, WAL architecture, backup/restore etc.
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.
