About the Role
We are the ServiceNow Software Development Kit (SDK) team, building tools and command-line interfaces that enable developers to create scoped ServiceNow applications outside the web browser. Our work enhances the developer experience by integrating with local editors, source-control tools, and AI coding assistants, making Scoped App development faster and more accessible.
Responsibilities
- Design and own SDK components and CLI tools that enforce best practices for Scoped App development, including project scaffolding, testing frameworks, deployment automation, and quality gates.
- Partner with developer advocates and customers to translate user needs into scalable, intuitive tooling that simplifies the Scoped App development lifecycle.
- Build high-quality, clean, and performant TypeScript and NodeJS code for CLI commands, integrations, and platform abstractions.
- Design CLI user experiences and SDK abstractions that integrate seamlessly with local development workflows (Git, VS Code, npm, etc.).
- Integrate AI-driven developer experiences into the SDK, such as code generation, smart suggestions, or automated testing, and own their implementation.
- Mentor SDK engineers and contribute to architecture decisions for building, testing, and deploying Scoped Apps.
- Lead technical strategy for material tooling risks and architectural decisions at the team level.
Requirements
- Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into development workflows, developer tooling, or problem-solving.
- 8+ years of experience with full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript development, with demonstrated CLI, tooling, or SDK-level work.
- Deep expertise in NodeJS and modern TypeScript patterns; proven ability to ship production developer tools at scale.
- Experience designing user-centric CLI applications or SDK abstractions that developers love to use.
- Expertise with data structures, algorithms, systems design, design patterns, and performance/scale considerations in a distributed context.
- Strong analytical and systems design skills; ability to reason about developer experience, ergonomics, and cross-tool integration.
- Demonstrated ability to own projects with material technical risk and lead cross-team technical decisions.
- Hands-on experience with ServiceNow App Engine, Scoped Apps, or ServiceNow platform development (Nice-to-Have).
- Prior experience building CLIs, SDKs, or developer tooling (npm, webpack, Nx, Vite, etc.) (Nice-to-Have).
- Familiarity with VS Code extension development or editor integrations (Nice-to-Have).
- Experience with Git workflows, package management, or local dev environment tooling (Nice-to-Have).
- Tech lead or mentorship track record on developer experience or tooling teams (Nice-to-Have).
