About The Role

We are looking for a Core Lead Developer to act as the senior technical backbone of the Core & Platform stream. The role works closely with the interim Product Owner, providing the technical leadership and expertise needed to support both strategic platform decisions and day-to-day development activities.

The ideal candidate brings deep, multi-module ServiceNow expertise, extending beyond ITSM into areas such as ITOM, SPM, HAM/SAM, or GRC, depending on the scope. They will be responsible for ensuring scalable, secure, maintainable, and consistent platform solutions while working closely with Solution and Enterprise Architecture.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring strong ServiceNow platform architecture knowledge, integration expertise, and the ability to translate complex technical decisions into clear recommendations for Product Owners, Project Managers, and other non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Act as the senior technical lead for the Core & Platform stream and provide technical guidance to the development team.

• Own and contribute to platform architecture, including CMDB, CSDM, Flow Designer, Business Rules, Script Includes, ACLs, GlideRecord and GlideAjax.
• Design and maintain integrations using REST/SOAP APIs, IntegrationHub, MID Server, and event-driven integration patterns.
• Ensure CSDM-based data modelling and maintain high standards for data quality and platform consistency.
• Apply security and performance best practices, including effective ACL design and appropriate use of ServiceNow security capabilities.
• Support ServiceNow release and upgrade cycles, including deprecation management and technical impact assessment.
• Identify and manage technical debt, making informed decisions around custom development versus OOTB functionality.
• Work closely with Solution and Enterprise Architects to ensure platform decisions align with the broader enterprise architecture.
• Provide technical input into backlog prioritisation, refinement, estimation, and solution design within a SAFe/Scrum environment.
• Conduct or support code reviews, development standards, and technical quality assurance.
• Mentor and support developers from a technical perspective where required.
• Translate complex technical options and trade-offs into clear, business-oriented recommendations for Product Owners, Project Managers, and other stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with the interim Product Owner as part of the dual-lead model, complementing the product and business perspective with strong technical leadership.
