About the Role
This role is part of a larger enterprise architecture and technology delivery team focused on designing and implementing solutions that address critical business needs and opportunities.

- Provide architecture services supporting both current-state optimization and future-state planning.
- Serve as a senior architecture resource supporting AEP’s on-premise ServiceNow platform and CMDB.
- Perform platform and solution architecture activities, including estimation and planning, technical design and development guidance, requirements definition and design reviews, and integration architecture with external platforms and systems.
- Ensure ServiceNow solutions align with enterprise architecture standards, operational models, and downstream dependencies.
- Provide hands-on systems engineering, troubleshooting, and operational support across the ServiceNow ecosystem and supporting platforms, including Tomcat application servers, Java application stacks (JSWs, JVMs), Oracle databases, and MID servers.
- Support and troubleshoot across required operating environments: Linux, Windows, and AIX.
