Staff Product Security Engineer, PSIRT

ServiceNow seeks a staff-level product security engineer to serve as a senior technical authority within the Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT). PSIRT is ServiceNow's awareness, response, and investigation capability for post-release vulnerabilities in ServiceNow-developed products and service offerings.  This role is for a recognized expert who can operate independently and as part of a team on the most significant security issues facing the platform—vulnerabilities that require evaluating intangibles. You will lead deep-dive investigations, coordinate resolution across engineering, product, and release teams, and demonstrate calm, decisive leadership during significant security events.  This is a role for someone who already understands product development cycles and the engineering and product relationships that drive them—and will use that fluency to lead fixes to completion under incident pressure. You will help shape how ServiceNow responds to product security vulnerabilities at scale and the technical rigor of the entire response capability.  What you get to do in this role:       Lead Through Significant Security Events  Demonstrate technical and organizational leadership during these events—bringing structure and clear decision-making under pressure.  Partner with incident commanders, business information security leadership, engineering, and customer-facing teams to maintain clear ownership, workstream prioritization, and hand-offs during these events.  Reduce Exposure Window  Drive coordinated response across affected releases, balancing risk and remediation feasibility.  Leverage an understanding of product development cycles and engineering/product partnerships to move fixes through the release pipeline without stalling on organizational boundaries.  Verify fix completeness and guard against incomplete mitigations before release.  CVE & Coordinated Disclosure Process  Contributed to ServiceNow's CVE disclosure process for incidents you own—CVE assignment, scoring, advisory content, and publication timing.  Conduct technical accuracy reviews of external advisories, researcher write-ups, and joint disclosure content to ensure correctness before publication.  Pursue After-Action Outcomes & Continuous Improvement  Author root cause analyses and drive lessons learned to closure following product security incidents.  Participate in retrospectives following significant product security events, translating findings into concrete process and technical improvements.  Contribute to partner teams tracking product security risk themes and trends across the portfolio.  Contribute to SDLC improvement areas, feeding incident learnings upstream into secure development practices.  To be successful in this role you have: Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry. Minimum 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years with a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years of experience; or equivalent experience.  Minimum 4 years of auditing source code for security vulnerabilities.  Demonstrated leadership during significant security events or major incidents, with willingness to participate in on-call.  Ability to read and comprehend Java and JavaScript code.   Strong understanding of common Java and JavaScript vulnerabilities.   Proficiency in scripting in both Python and JavaScript for data gathering, processing, and visualization.   Development of proof-of-concept exploits for web application vulnerabilities.   Written and verbal communication of complex security risk clearly to both technical teams and lead
