About the role
ServiceNow’s Product Security organisation is building a dedicated Security R&D function — a software engineering team that builds security capabilities with the same engineering rigour as ServiceNow’s product organisation. We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer to be a core contributor 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. This is a new team being stood up in Petah Tikva, Israel, co-located with ServiceNow’s AI Security Research team. You will help shape the team’s engineering practices and technical foundation from day one. This role reports to the Sr. Engineering Manager, Security R&D. What You Will Do Build Security Capabilities • Design and develop security tooling, automation, and platform services that operate at ServiceNow’s enterprise scale. • Contribute code directly into ServiceNow product engineering codebases, embedding security capabilities where they have the highest impact. • Build AI-powered security automation by integrating in-house models and third-party services into production workflows. • Leverage ServiceNow’s platform — Agent Framework runtime, ACL enforcement, data layer, and workflow engine — to create security capabilities that external vendors cannot match. Collaborate Across Teams • Work closely with the AI Security Research team on tooling for AI agent security, translating research insights into production-grade engineering. • Partner with product engineering teams during open contribution engagements, earning trust through code quality, reliability, and delivery. • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions, contributing to the team’s technical standards and engineering culture. Grow with the Team • Help define engineering best practices as a founding member of the Security R&D team. • Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team scales, helping maintain the engineering bar. • Stay current on emerging AI/ML technologies and security threats, bringing new ideas into the team’s roadmap. What Makes This Role Unique • Builder-led culture: Security R&D is defined by engineering output, not advisory reviews. We build production security capabilities with the same discipline as product engineering. • Dual operating model: The team both contributes directly to product engineering and develops its own security products and services. • Platform advantage: ServiceNow owns the entire stack — runtime, ACLs, data layer, workflow engine. You will build security capabilities that no external vendor can replicate. • Founding team: This is a new team being built from scratch. You will shape its engineering culture, technical standards, and identity from day one. • AI intersection: The role sits alongside the AI Security Research team, placing you at the frontier of securing AI systems at enterprise scale. To be successful in this role, you have: • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems at scale. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. • Strong hands-on proficiency in Python and Java. You write production code daily and take pride in software craftsmanship. • Solid foundation in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and building services that meet enterprise requirements for scalability, reliability, and performance. • Experience working in collaborative engineering environments, contributing to shared codebases with high code quality standar
