About The Position

We’re looking for a ServiceNow Developer to take ownership of an existing ServiceNow (ITSM) implementation that is currently underperforming and slow to evolve. The foundation of the application is already built, but it requires: Optimization, faster execution of feature requests, improved reporting, templates, and dashboards, and stronger communication across teams and with the client. This role is highly client-facing and requires someone who can bridge development and production, clearly communicate progress, and deliver on a structured development plan. This is a Full-Time Contract running through November 2025 with likely extension into Option Year - 2027. The company is looking for someone who can stabilize and scale the platform long-term. The candidate must be a US Citizen and US based. The client is engaged in a long-term contract with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to develop and implement a new facilities assessment program on a national scale. This project will support the modernization and strategic planning of healthcare infrastructure across the country.
