About the Team

The Identity Platform Engineering team builds and operates the enterprise Identity and Access Management platform that secures ServiceNow employees, systems, and partners worldwide. We are a team focused on engineering excellence — modernizing how identity governance is built, tested, and delivered.

We manage enterprise-scale Identity Platforms and ServiceNow integrations across global and regulated environments, and we are expanding our capabilities into Non-Human Identity governance and AI-assisted access intelligence.

We are looking for a Senior Staff IAM Software Engineer to bring full stack and systems depth to the team, build our DevOps engineering foundation, own critical platform integrations, and elevate the engineers around them.

What you'll do

Participate in all technical aspects of team deliverables including quality, performance, maintainability, and scalability.

Lead the development of end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, GitLab Runners, Jenkins, and Nexus — moving the team from manual to automated, repeatable development and testing workflows.

Implement infrastructure-as-code and configuration management with Terraform, Ansible, and Puppet.

Own system integrations across Identity Platforms and ServiceNow — APIs, connectors, provisioning workflows, and lifecycle automation.

Contribute full stack development across backend services and user-facing IAM workflows; provide technical input on UI design and implementation.

Apply data analytics to identity governance: RBAC role mining, access pattern analysis, entitlement optimization, and AI-assisted access request recommendations.

Participate in design and code reviews, ensuring best practices in performance, maintainability, and testability.

Mentor and guide 4-5 junior to mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, engineering craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.

Partner with security, compliance, and platform teams to deliver solutions that are secure, scalable, and audit-ready.

Explore and advocate for new patterns that improve system resilience, developer velocity, and operational maturity.

Partner with principal-level staff to drive initiatives and maintain organizational standards.

Requirements

·Deep technical hands-on experience building production enterprise-level platforms.
·Strong IAM Domain Experience with Identity Lifecycle, RBAC/ABAC, Access Certifications, and Privileged Access Management
·10+ years of software engineering experience; 3+ years as a senior staff, or equivalent experience and education.
·Full stack development depth: strong backend proficiency (Java or Python, MySQL or PostgreSQL) and working knowledge of frontend technologies (JavaScript, AngularJS, REST APIs, HTML/CSS).
·Systems engineering experience designing and operating complex, distributed enterprise platforms.
