Job Description
The Machine Learning Engineer designs, builds, deploys, and operates the services behind ServiceNow's multimodal AI capabilities, helping the platform understand documents, images, and videos. The Engineer works on the platform services and products that bring LLMs into reliable, scalable enterprise features. This role needs someone who cares deeply about building production-ready ML services: designing clean APIs and pipelines, deploying and scaling services on Kubernetes, and keeping them fast, observable, and resilient. The Engineer owns the quality and correctness of what ships, whether the code was written by a human or with the help of AI coding agents.
What you get to do:
- Build scalable ML services. Design, develop, and improve services and pipelines for document extraction, visual understanding, and agentic automation, integrating LLMs into production systems.
- Deploy and operate on Kubernetes. Containerize, deploy, and scale services on Kubernetes, and contribute to CI/CD, observability, and alerting that keep them reliable.
- Own quality and reliability in production. Write clean, tested code, build automated tests, monitor service health, and help investigate and resolve customer-facing issues such as performance limits and quality gaps.
- Build product features end to end. Turn product requirements into well-designed features, from API design and data handling to performance tuning and release.
- Collaborate across teams. Partner with product managers, engineers, designers and consuming product teams to define success criteria, understand tradeoffs, and communicate capabilities and limitations clearly.
