## About the role

Workflow Data Fabric (WDF) connects the ServiceNow AI Platform to enterprise data wherever it lives - querying it in place, streaming it in real time, and ingesting it at scale so workflows and AI agents act on trusted, current data. We are looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer to be a senior technical leader across the WDF platform organization. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant time building and operating large-scale distributed systems or data platforms
- Experience with Kubernetes-based services, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, and data security/governance (ACLs, encryption, data residency)
- Demonstrated track record of leading architecture across multiple teams and delivering complex, cross-functional platform initiatives end to end
- Strong hands-on coding ability in at least one systems language (e.g., Java, C++, Go, Scala, or similar), with a continued practice of writing and reviewing production code
- Proven experience diagnosing and solving performance and scalability problems in production systems, using profiling, benchmarking, and observability data
- Ability to influence without authority – aligning engineers, managers, product, and partner teams around technical direction through clear written and verbal communication
