NVIDIA is seeking a deeply technical and hands-on Senior Software Engineering Manager to lead the development of next-generation AI-driven solutions on the ServiceNow platform to enhance business efficiency and productivity. This role requires strong expertise in platform architecture, full-stack development, and enterprise integrations, along with familiarity in emerging AI paradigms such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic AI.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Drive the design and implementation of scalable, intelligent workflows and applications across ServiceNow modules such as ITSM and HRSD.

• Define architectural standards and ensure secure, scalable, and high-performing platform solutions.

• Own and manage the ServiceNow platform end-to-end, including strategy, roadmap, upgrades, and overall platform health

• Establish and enforce platform governance standards for architecture, security, scalability, and user experience

• Ensure high availability, performance, and stability of platform operations and service delivery

• Lead, mentor, and grow a global team of engineers, including internal staff and external partners

• Manage vendors and partners to ensure high-quality delivery, performance, and cost efficiency

• Drive continuous improvement, innovation, and automation to enhance efficiency and user experience

What We Need To See:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or related field (or equivalent experience)

• 6+ years of experience leading and managing high-performing engineering teams

• 12+ overall years experience with enterprise architecture, IT leadership, or large-scale software engineering and platform management (including SaaS and AI/ML systems)

• Strong programming skills in Python and experience with system-level development

• Hands-on experience with test automation, production testing, and automation frameworks

• Solid understanding of Linux, embedded systems, firmware, and hardware/software integration

• Deep knowledge of IT Service Management (ITSM) and ServiceNow (HR, Security, Finance modules preferred)

• Experience with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, Automated testing frameworks, and structured software development methodologies

• Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional projects and collaborate across engineering, product, and business teams

• Strong leadership, communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills, with the ability to drive strategy, process discipline, and organizational change

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience implementing enterprise-grade governance for agent systems (controls, audit-ability, monitoring, policy enforcement) in production autonomous workflows

• Demonstrated wins taking new/open-source agent constructs from POC to production adoption, with clear business impact (cycle time, quality, cost, reliability)

• Built and scaled an agent platform or agent developer experience used by multiple teams (SDKs, templates, reference apps, reusable building blocks)

• Clear point of view and real examples on build-vs-use decisions-when to adopt OSS/3P vs build internal primitives-and how to operationalize the choice

• Deep experience with agent evaluation at scale (long-horizon tasks, tool correctness, reliability testing, automated regressions, offline/online feedback loops)
