Job Description
The Opportunity
ServiceNow’s Product Security organisation is building a dedicated Security R&D function — a software engineering team that builds security capabilities with the same rigour, CI/CD discipline, and quality standards as ServiceNow’s product engineering organisation. We are looking for a Sr. Staff Security Engineer to be a technical anchor on this team.
Security R&D operates in two complementary modes: open contribution to product engineering — writing code alongside product teams where security expertise adds value — and developing its own security capabilities, including internal tooling, externally facing product features, AI-powered security automation, and third-party integrations.
