Job Description
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 for our customers and our bottom line.
We are looking for systems level engineers who have experience with low level storage, memory, and CPU optimization to help us achieve those goals. You will work directly with other engineers on the Data Platform team in solving challenging problems in scaling and querying large data sets efficiently both vertically and horizontally.
