Senior ServiceNow Developer

The Senior ServiceNow Developer is the most senior hands-on technical authority for the ServiceNow platform underpinning our cybersecurity managed services. The role designs, builds and maintains complex, heavily customised applications in an environment where out-of-the-box functionality is not sufficient: scoped applications, custom data models, advanced server- and client-side scripting, and integrations with security tooling and customer environments. It demands expert-level JavaScript, a rigorous approach to performance, maintainability and upgradeability, and the judgement to know when to configure, when to customise, and when to challenge the requirement. Because the platform delivers a live managed service to external customers, the post holder works directly with customers and service stakeholders on requirements, technical escalations and service impact, and is accountable for solutions that hold up under contractual service commitments. As the technical lead within the development team, the post holder sets the technical standard, owns code review and architectural direction, and mentors and develops the wider team.
