This role translates business requirements into scalable workflows, integrations, and user experiences that support mission‑critical processes in a regulated client environment. Working closely with product owners, business stakeholders, and technical teams, the developer leads full application lifecycle activities—from requirements and design through build, testing, deployment, and post‑production support. The role leverages coding, Excel‑based analytics, AI/automation capabilities, and platform configuration to improve service delivery, performance, and user satisfaction. Key Responsibilities Design, develop, configure, and maintain ServiceNow applications with an emphasis on CSM and Service Portals, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned to enterprise standards.

Design, implement, and support integrations between ServiceNow and external systems using REST/SOAP APIs and middleware, ensuring data integrity, security, and reliable end‑to‑end workflows. Apply agile practices (Scrum/Kanban), including backlog grooming, sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, and iterative delivery, to manage work effectively and improve team throughput. Use Excel, ServiceNow reporting, and platform analytics to design dashboards, monitor KPIs, and optimize application performance and user experience. Configure and leverage ServiceNow AI and automation capabilities (e.g., Virtual Agent, Predictive Intelligence) to streamline case handling, routing, and knowledge access. Manage the application lifecycle, including version control, unit and regression testing, deployment planning, and post‑release support in collaboration with release and operations teams. Engage stakeholders and end users to gather and analyze requirements, refine user stories, and translate business needs into clear technical designs and configuration specifications. Ensure appropriate roles, groups, and access controls are applied within ServiceNow, supporting security and compliance expectations in a regulated enterprise environment.
