Full Job Posting

Preferred qualifications

  • Direct experience in cryptography, PKI, key management, or secrets management — certificate lifecycle systems, HSM/KMS integration, or crypto-agility work
  • Some hands-on AI/ML exposure — not a research background, but real experience applying ML techniques to security/ops problems (anomaly detection, risk scoring, log/telemetry analysis) or critically integrating LLM tooling into engineering workflows
  • Experience with regulated environments (FIPS 140-2/3, FedRAMP, common criteria, or similar)
  • Exposure to post-quantum cryptography
  • Track record mentoring engineers and raising the security bar on a team, not just shipping features

Basic qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in professional software engineering experience; Java, Go, or a comparable strongly-typed language at production scale
  • Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, OO design, distributed systems tradeoffs
  • Production experience running services on Kubernetes (deployments, Helm, CI/CD) in a SaaS/multi-tenant environment — this is assumed, not a differentiator
  • Working understanding of core cryptographic primitives (symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, TLS/PKI fundamentals)
  • Demonstrated security-first engineering habits: secure coding practices, threat modeling, code review discipline
  • For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $166,500 - $291,400, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs. Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.
  • Work Personas
  • We approach our distributed world of work with flexibility and trust. Work personas (flexible, remote, or required in office) are categories that are assigned to ServiceNow employees depending on the nature of their work and their assigned work location. Learn more here. To determine eligibility for a work persona, ServiceNow may confirm the distance between your primary residence and the closest ServiceNow office using a third-party service.
