Team:

Our goal is to build a robust, high-performing, and scalable data platform that can support transactional, analytical, and various other workloads our customers deploy. Our data platform engineering team is responsible for building the core engines, persistence layer, and tools supporting these use cases. This includes developing in-memory and on-disk data structures and algorithms, row/columnar stores, and caches.  Given the ServiceNow platform footprint, even the smallest optimization can have a dramatic impact on our customers and our bottom line.

We need an experienced Sr. SDET who can help us ensure a high-quality release, assist engineers in creating robust tests, and work across contributing teams to help define and test migrating from the existing database to the new database this team is building.  We are based upon the Postgres database engine, with additional plug-in optimizations from the company we acquired in August 2021, Swarm64.  The team builds the product in C and C++, and your familiarity with these languages, this database, and Linux will be required for success.

• Help improve CI/CD pipeline development, and improve testing infrastructure.
• Partner with core and cross-functional teams to create the next-generation database engine powering ServiceNow!

• The team builds the product in C and C++, and your familiarity with these languages, this database, and Linux will be required for success.
• Solid understanding and experience with agile software development methodologies
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with an aptitude for learning new technologies.
