ServiceNow Developer/Architect

ServiceNow Developer/Architect

Columbus, Ohio

Onsite

Contract

$60/hr - $60/hr

Join a high-profile public sector project as a ServiceNow Developer/Architect in a full-time long-term contract role based onsite in Columbus, Ohio. This dual-threat position requires a professional who can operate at a strategic architectural level while remaining hands-on to develop, configure, and troubleshoot complex workflows. You'll lead the technical design and execution of enterprise-wide ServiceNow solutions, ensuring the platform remains scalable, secure, and compliant within a FedRAMP-authorized environment. US Citizenship or Green Card required.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior ServiceNow professional to own both the architecture and the execution of a large-scale public sector platform transformation. Rather than being siloed into one lane, you'll define platform standards and governance while still getting your hands dirty with custom scoped application development, Business Rules, Script Includes, and Glide API work. You'll lead the design and implementation of integrations with third-party systems using IntegrationHub, Flow Designer, MID Servers, and REST/SOAP APIs - giving you full-stack visibility across the platform. The FedRAMP environment adds a layer of technical rigor that will sharpen your security and compliance expertise, including advanced ACL configurations, data encryption, and secure coding standards. You'll also establish development standards and conduct code reviews, directly influencing platform health and upgradeability across the engagement. For a ServiceNow professional who wants strategic ownership without giving up technical depth, this role delivers both.
