Experience driving progress, solving problems, and mentoring more junior team members; deeper expertise and applied knowledge within relevant area.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in web technologies (e.g., JavaScript ES6+, HTML5, CSS3).
• Experience managing first-party Service Now integrations, and building microservices (e.g., Java, Python, Go, or Node.js).
• Experience with message-driven architectures (e.g., Cloud Pub/Sub, Kafka), RPC/gRPC, and API Gateways/Reverse Proxies for traffic orchestration.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, MIS or related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in server-side development, relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or No
  
  SQL databases, and high-performance API design.
• Experience tailoring user experiences for operational agents (Configurable Work spaces, Advanced Work Assignment), alongside a background in version control (Git), SDLC, and unit/integration testing.
• Mastery of OAuth 2.0/OIDC flows, Workload Identity Federation (Service Account assertions for keyless auth), and secure credential management (Cloud KMS, Hashi Corp Vault) to ensure zero-trust networking and mTLS enforcement.

You lead all aspects of web development, requirements gathering, software development, testing, documentation, training, implementation, ongoing support, and maintenance for both in-house and customer-facing web applications. You will work closely with a cross-functional team of Googlers using UI and functional specs/prototypes as input. You are empowered to act like an owner, take action, and innovate to meet user and customer needs.

As an Application Engineer within the Google Cloud Business Platform (GCBP) organization, you will play a pivotal role in scaling workflow automation by bridging Service Now with internal First-Party (1P) systems and secondary CRM platforms. Google engineers are at the forefront of developing next-generation technologies that change how the world interacts with information; in this role, you will apply that same engineering discipline to the Service Now ecosystem.

You will independently design, develop, and deploy custom-scoped applications, optimize agent interfaces, and build robust bi-directional integration pipelines using asynchronous (Cloud Pub/Sub) and synchronous (gRPC) protocols. By managing these end-to-end integration tasks independently, you will ensure Service Now functions as a tightly integrated, secure extension of Google's internal operations while upholding the highest standards of code quality and software engineering.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization's ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google's cutting-edge technology and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.
