• Experience troubleshooting defects and supporting controlled testing and releases.
• Ability to work within established enterprise platform governance, security, change, and documentation processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Senior ServiceNow development experience in a federal environment.
• ServiceNow integration/API experience.

• Normal support coverage is 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday through Friday. Routine after-hours, weekend, and on-call support are not required.
• This position is fully remote.
