- FedRAMP Compliance: Implement and maintain robust security protocols, including advanced ACL configurations, data encryption, and secure coding standards to meet federal and state regulatory requirements
- Integrations & Automation: Lead the design and implementation of integrations with third-party systems using IntegrationHub, Flow Designer, MID Servers, and REST/SOAP APIs
- Platform Governance: Establish development standards and conduct code reviews to ensure platform health, performance, and upgradeability
- Collaboration: Partner with the Engagement Lead and business stakeholders to translate functional requirements into high-level design documents and technical specifications
Requirements:
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in IT, with at least 5 years of deep technical experience in ServiceNow development and architecture
- Technical Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and ServiceNow-specific development tools (Studio, UI Builder, Service Portal)
- Government Experience: Proven track record of working within FedRAMP or similarly regulated government cloud environments
- CMDB & ITOM: Strong understanding of Configuration Management (CMDB) and IT Operations Management (Discovery, Service Mapping) within a public sector context
- Soft Skills: Ability to work onsite in Columbus, OH, and lead technical work sessions with diverse stakeholder groups
- ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA)
- ServiceNow Certified Application Developer (CAD)
- ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist (CIS) - ITSM or ITOM preferred
- ITIL v4 Foundations
- ServiceNow Certified Technical Architect (CTA) or Master Architect (CMA)
- Security+ or similar cybersecurity certification

Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
