Job details:
Look after three small live client applications for customers in the US and UK. You will be the only engineer on those accounts — and the person the client actually talks to. No project manager in between.
You do not need ServiceNow. We want a solid backend engineer who thinks clearly, and we move you onto the platform.
WHY THAT IS WORTH YOUR TIME
ServiceNow is a niche and has stayed one — demand has outstripped supply for years. At 8+ years it pays ₹15–35L in India, architects ₹40–70L. India has several hundred thousand backend engineers. It does not have several hundred thousand ServiceNow specialists, and that gap is what pays.
AI is absorbing the most describable parts of a backend engineer's job. What does not automate is owning a system nobody else understands, and being the person a client trusts when it breaks. That is this role.
BE CLEAR ON WHAT THIS JOB IS
The applications are small and the work is varied rather than heavy — there is no ticket queue and no repeating pattern.
Training is self-directed. We give you the materials, a development instance, paid time to learn, and people who answer questions — but you work through it yourself. We do not run courses.
And nobody will chase you. You will be given the work and the time to do it, and then left alone to do it. If work only moves when someone follows up, this is the wrong role and you will not enjoy it.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Look after three live client accounts — the changes they ask for, the things that break, and the conversation with the customer.
• Build and maintain integrations with other systems: sending and receiving data, scheduled jobs, transforming fields between two systems that disagree.
• Handle the failure cases — what happens when a call fails halfway, when a record arrives twice, when the other side goes down.
• Work out what went wrong in code you did not write, usually from logs.
• Talk to clients directly — explain what broke, say when it was our fault, and say so when something is not possible.
WHAT WE NEED
• 3–6 years building backend software. Java, C#, Node or Python — the stack matters less than whether you reason clearly.
• You have worked against an API you did not control. Be ready to talk about a specific one — what it was, and what happened when it changed.
• You have fixed something that broke in production. Be ready to describe what the symptoms were and what you actually changed.
• REST and JSON, authentication, and relational databases. Comfortable, not expert.
• You can explain a technical problem to someone non-technical without jargon.
• You can start within one month. You would be taking over three live client accounts, so a longer notice period does not work for this role.
NICE TO HAVE
• SOAP and XML as well as REST and JSON.
• Banking, insurance or another regulated sector.
• Any experience of a vendor platform with its own release cycle — Salesforce, Pega, SAP, Dynamics — or middleware such as MuleSoft or Boomi.
WHAT YOU GET
• Fixed annual bonus on completion of twelve months, on top of fixed pay.
• Certifications funded, with a development instance and the official learning environment.
• Fully remote in India, working UK business hours (1 PM–10 PM IST).
• Three accounts that are yours, and daily access to the founder — a ServiceNow architect who wrote the applications you would take over.
HOW WE HIRE
A 30-minute AI interview you take at a time you choose, then a short practical build, then one conversation. No puzzles at any stage. We ask your pay expectation when you book the first interview, not after three rounds.
AI assistance is not permitted during the screening interview.
