Job DescriptionNetImpact Strategies is seeking a Senior ServiceNow Developer to provide hands-on platform engineering for a Federal Agency. This role delivers complex remediation, integrations, automation, scripting, scoped applications, and approved platform enhancements while providing early-window Tier 3 engineering support and protecting upgradeability through reusable, well-tested ServiceNow-native solutions.
Work schedule: Monday-Friday, representative early engineering shift supporting the start of the 6:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Eastern service window; planned after-hours activities and rotating on-call support as required.
This position requires U.S. citizenship and a post-award Government background investigation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, debug, and maintain ServiceNow platform capabilities from approved user stories and technical designs using governed SDLC and Agile practices.
- Perform complex Tier 3 remediation and root-cause analysis for application logic, scripts, failed automations, performance issues, integrations, and defects in production-supported capabilities.
- Develop server- and client-side ServiceNow logic using JavaScript/Glide APIs, Script Includes, Business Rules, Client Scripts, UI Policies, ACLs, Flow Designer, IntegrationHub, and other approved platform capabilities.
- Design and implement reusable enterprise integrations and supporting application logic using REST/SOAP APIs, MID Servers, integration actions, service accounts, certificates/credentials, and approved error-handling/observability patterns.
- Build scoped/low-code applications, catalog items, workflows, portals/workspaces, and reusable components while minimizing unnecessary custom code and preserving upgradeability.
- Use source control, update sets/application repositories, CI/CD, code scanning, debugging/profiling, and automated tests to validate changes and retain technical evidence for release decisions.
- Partner with the CTA on design/code reviews and with the Tester on ATF/regression coverage, performance validation, rollback readiness, and post-deployment verification.
- Provide early-window engineering depth during incidents and releases, enabling operational restoration to continue while code/configuration causes are isolated and remediated.
- Support platform security remediation, data-quality improvements, Health Scan/technical-debt actions, and restoration of unnecessary customization toward out-of-the-box patterns when approved.
- Maintain technical documentation, code comments, release notes, knowledge articles, and transition materials sufficient for another qualified engineer to operate and maintain delivered capabilities.
