Sr Staff Software Engineer at ServiceNow in Hyderabad, , India

Job description

• Come join the dream team. We're rapidly expanding Agentic Playbook, ServiceNow's platform for sequencing work between AI Agents, automations, and people across enterprise applications. It combines the power of AI, the predictability and performance of automated flows, and the judgment of humans-in-the-loop — all within a single governed process running on ServiceNow's enterprise Flow Engine.
• Agentic Playbooks can be built using a drag-and-drop diagram experience or agentically with tools like Build Agent. Once running, multiple stakeholders can interact with a Playbook through an AI-native UI that updates in real time, or conversationally across channels like Teams and Slack — including through MCP, which lets external AI assistants interact with a running Playbook directly. This dramatically reduces the engineering expertise required to automate a multi-step process, and makes it possible to create compelling, dynamic user experiences that would otherwise take a specialized team to build. This is at the heart of ServiceNow's purpose to make AI work for everyone. There's never been a better time to join the ServiceNow family.
