• Own CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (ATF), and deployment controls
• Ensure regression testing and platform reliability
• Monitor performance, manage technical debt, and maintain operational excellence

• Work closely with Product Owners and stakeholders to shape backlog and requirements

• Proven experience in Service Now development and/or administration (approx. 2-4 years)
• Strong knowledge of ITSM processes (Incident, Change, Problem, Request, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with configuration-first development approaches
• Exposure to integrations, testing frameworks, and CI/CD practices
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Desirable:

• Generous pension and benefits package
• Private medical insurance
• Learning and certification support
• Flexible holiday options
• A collaborative, forward-thinking environment with a strong focus on continuous improvement
