Senior Software Quality Engineer - job 1 of 4

It all started in sunny San Diego, California in 2004 when a visionary engineer, Fred Luddy, saw the potential to transform how we work. Fast forward to today — ServiceNow stands as a global market leader, bringing innovative AI-enhanced technology to over 8,100 customers, including 85% of the Fortune 500®. Our intelligent cloud-based platform seamlessly connects people, systems, and processes to empower organizations to find smarter, faster, and better ways to work.

In ServiceNow, “Shared QE” refers to a modern approach where teams collaborate across the organization to leverage common resources and services—boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and delivering better outcomes. Instead of each department operating in a silo, shared services streamline efforts, reduce duplication, and improve agility.  At ServiceNow, our platform enables this through powerful automation and unified tools that support seamless collaboration—benefiting both internal teams and external customers. Join Shared QE and be part of a team that drives scalable quality, cross-functional collaboration, and platform-wide impact.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in quality assurance and Java programming, with strong proficiency in Selenium, JUnit, and TestNG

•  5 years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree, 3 years with a Master’s, or a PhD with relevant expertise—equivalent work experience is equally valued

• Proficient in JavaScript scripting, and comfortable using tools such as Eclipse, Jenkins, Maven, and Git to support smooth development and deployment workflows

• Strong understanding of a variety of testing techniques (unit, integration, automated, performance), and the ability to apply the right strategy to each situation

• Skilled at using a wide range of tools including IDEs, debuggers, build tools, source control systems, profilers, ServiceNow instances, and Unix/system tools to support day-to-day testing and development tasks

• Experience leading cross-functional technical discussions with a clear understanding of SDLC principles and how to apply them effectively in fast-paced environments
