Senior Backend Engineer ServiceNow Platform (705)

Job Title: Senior Backend Engineer ServiceNow Platform (Windows Event Processing)
Location: 100% Remote (PST/ CST Time Zone)
Duration: 3-6 Month Contract

Job Responsibilities:
Senior backend engineer to design and build event ingestion and processing systems for Windows-based client and server environments, implemented as custom, production-grade solutions on the ServiceNow platform.
This is a product engineering role, not ServiceNow administration or IT operations. The engineer will write real code, design systems, and own solutions end-to-end.

Core Responsibilities

• Design and implement backend systems that ingest, process, and analyze events from Windows client/server applications.
• Build and maintain custom ServiceNow platform solutions (scripting, integrations, platform services).
• Translate product requirements into scalable, well-architected technical designs.
• Own quality through automated testing, code/design reviews, CI/CD, and production readiness.
• Debug and troubleshoot complex issues spanning Windows environments, backend services, and ServiceNow.
• Build lightweight UI components where needed to support backend functionality.
• Apply AI assisted tools pragmatically in engineering or data workflows.

• 6+ years professional software engineering experience.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals: system design, data structures, testing, CI/CD.
• Hands on ServiceNow custom development experience (beyond admin/config).
• Experience with event-driven or telemetry-based systems.
• Working knowledge of Windows environments, including how applications emit and consume system events.
• Proven ability to debug distributed systems end-to-end.
• Comfortable operating in a high bar, product engineering environment.

• Experience with C++ and/or C# in production systems.
• Background in monitoring, discovery, observability, or event pipelines.
• UI development experience (ServiceNow UI Builder, modern web UI).
• Prior exposure to AI assisted engineering or data analysis workflows.
