We are looking for a visionary, technically deep, and engineering-led ServiceNow Platform Owner to lead BlackRock's enterprise ServiceNow capabilities. This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of platform engineering, AI-enabled automation, and enterprise service management — sitting at the heart of how BlackRock delivers operational resilience, service excellence, and technology transformation at scale.
As Director and Platform Owner, you will bring expert-level technical fluency in ServiceNow and a hands-on engineering mindset to define how the platform is architected, evolved, and scaled. You will lead a large, globally distributed internal team — setting the technical bar, embedding AI-first thinking into every layer of the platform, and ensuring delivery is grounded in engineering rigour, scalable design, and measurable business outcomes.
Business Overview
The Service Platform & Observability (SPO) team supports and manages production environments across BlackRock, including subsidiaries and clients of BlackRock Solutions. Our scope spans key ServiceNow modules, batch orchestrators, data transfer services, and observability tooling that are critical to business operations and regulatory compliance. The ServiceNow platform is a foundational capability enabling ITSM, ITOM, ITAM, HRSD, and enterprise workflow automation across the firm. This role owns that capability end-to-end.
Role Responsibility
-
Own and drive the enterprise ServiceNow platform technical strategy, including multi-year roadmap development, module prioritization, and architectural direction — ensuring alignment with BlackRock's broader technology and operational resilience goals.
-
Lead, develop, and grow the ServiceNow Platform team, including engineers, developers, business analysts, and contingent workers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
-
Own the technical architecture and engineering standards for the ServiceNow platform — establishing scalable design patterns, scripting standards, integration frameworks, and platform governance that enable high-quality, consistent delivery at enterprise scale.
-
Drive the integration of AI and intelligent automation capabilities into the ServiceNow platform, including Now Assist, generative AI workflows, agentic automation, and predictive analytics — ensuring BlackRock remains at the leading edge of enterprise service management.
-
Define and embed AI-first engineering practices across the team — from prompt-driven workflow design and ML-assisted triage to intelligent observability integrations — making AI a core capability of how the platform operates rather than an add-on.
-
Establish and enforce platform governance, including change control standards, CMDB integrity, CSDM alignment, release management practices, and compliance with regulatory frameworks including DORA and internal audit requirements.
-
Collaborate with senior business and technology leaders across the firm to translate strategic objectives into platform capabilities, ensuring ServiceNow investments deliver measurable operational and financial value.
-
Oversee and mature integrations between ServiceNow and critical enterprise systems including Splunk, Grafana, PagerDuty, Azure DevOps, Snowflake, and third-party development partners.
-
Drive cost transparency and value tracking across all ServiceNow enhancements, owning the platform's financial posture and ensuring return on investment is clearly articulated to leadership.
-
Champion platform modernisation, including the retirement of legacy tools and processes, migration to cloud-native ServiceNow capabilities, and adoption of hub-and-spoke operating models for scalable governance.
-
Represent the ServiceNow platform in firm-wide technology forums and vendor governance meetings, including managing BlackRock's relationship with ServiceNow as a strategic partner.
Additional Responsibilities
-
Maintain visibility into platform availability, performance, and incident trends, with accountability for Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) and SLA compliance across all ServiceNow-supported services.
-
Ensure the platform's operational health through structured capacity planning, proactive risk identification, and robust business continuity practices.
-
Lead regular platform reviews with senior stakeholders, providing structured reporting on roadmap progress, delivery metrics, risks, and strategic outcomes.
-
Oversee the full ServiceNow instance administration posture — including delegation of groups, workflow governance, ACL management, CMDB standards, and catalogue integrity — ensuring adherence to best practices at scale.
-
Drive talent strategy for the ServiceNow team, including hiring, performance management, career development, and succession planning for key engineering and delivery roles.
-
Partner with internal audit, risk, and compliance teams to ensure the platform meets all regulatory and operational resilience requirements, including evidence generation for audit readiness.
Skills / Experience Required
-
15+ years of technology experience, with a minimum of 10 years of deep, hands-on ServiceNow expertise spanning architecture, development, and platform ownership across multiple modules including ITSM, ITOM, ITAM, HRSD, and CSM.
-
Expert-level technical proficiency in ServiceNow architecture, scripting (JavaScript, GlideRecord, REST/SOAP integrations), workflow design, CMDB/CSDM, and platform security and access control.
-
Hands-on experience with AI and automation capabilities on the ServiceNow platform, including Now Assist, machine learning integrations, agentic workflows, and intelligent alerting — with a forward-looking, practitioner-level perspective on enterprise AI adoption.
-
Demonstrated ability to architect and deliver AI-first platform solutions — including the design of automated triage, intelligent routing, generative AI-assisted self-service, and ML-driven operational insights within ServiceNow.
-
Demonstrated experience leading and managing large, geographically distributed teams of engineers, developers, and analysts — with a track record of building high-performing, inclusive technology organisations.
-
Proven ability to define and execute enterprise platform strategy, including roadmap ownership, governance design, and senior stakeholder engagement in a complex, regulated environment.
-
Deep understanding of ITIL processes and their application at enterprise scale, including Incident, Problem, Change, Request, Knowledge Management, and Service Catalog governance.
-
Experience integrating ServiceNow with enterprise observability and DevOps tooling such as Splunk, Grafana, PagerDuty, Azure DevOps, Prometheus, and Snowflake.
-
Financial acumen and experience managing platform budgets, vendor relationships, and cost optimisation programmes — including demonstrable outcomes in spend reduction or value delivery.
-
Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business-relevant narratives for senior leadership audiences.
-
Experience operating within regulated financial services or enterprise environments, with familiarity with frameworks such as DORA, SOX, or equivalent operational resilience standards.
-
ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA) required; Certified Implementation Specialist (CIS) in one or more modules strongly preferred; Certified Technical Architect (CTA) or Certified Master Architect (CMA) is a significant differentiator.
Preferred Experience
-
Experience driving ServiceNow platform transformation programmes, including legacy tool retirement, large-scale migrations, or hub-and-spoke governance model implementations.
-
Familiarity with Agile delivery frameworks and experience leading cross-functional product teams using tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or ServiceNow's native Agile capabilities.
-
Prior experience in a financial services or investment management environment, with an understanding of the operational complexity and regulatory expectations of firms of BlackRock's scale.
-
Demonstrated experience evaluating and onboarding third-party development partners and managing vendor performance against contractual and quality standards.
-
Experience with Python or Core Java in the context of ServiceNow integrations and automation pipeline development.
-

Director - Enterprise Data Platform
$215000 - $275000
About this role
About the Team:
You will be joining a newly launched Forward Deployed Engineering team dedicated to client engagement and platform adoption. This team operates with a startup mentality within the company – high collaboration, agility, and a focus on delivering results. As a principal FDE, you’ll serve as a key leader in this team, helping establish its practices and culture. You’ll work alongside seasoned data platform engineers and product managers, directly contributing to our mission of empowering users to unlock maximum value from data.
Job Summary:
We are seeking a Principal-level Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) Lead to spearhead client-facing technical engagements for our Enterprise Data Platform (EDP). In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will bring product-grade data engineering expertise directly to internal (and later external) clients to drive adoption of our EDP.
This role is not primarily a pipeline engineering role. Instead, you will act as a technical authority, advisor, and enablement lead—working with our Data Platform as a Service (DPaaS) adopters to design high-quality data pipelines, teach best practices, and guide teams to build and operate pipelines effectively themselves. You will help clients understand how to build pipelines well on EDP, review designs and implementations, and unblock complex issues, while leaving daytoday pipeline construction and ownership with the adopting teams.
This role combines deep hands-on technical work (in Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Great Expectations, DataHub, etc.) with strategic advisory responsibilities. As a founding member of the Forward Deployed Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how we accelerate data platform adoption and deliver insights in the investment management domain. The position is remote-friendly with minimal travel (occasional client visits if needed).
Key Responsibilities:
-
Direct Client Engagement & Solution Delivery: Serve as a trusted technical advisor for DPaaS adopters, partnering with teams to understand their business goals and data needs. Guide clients in designing EDP-native data pipelines, helping them select appropriate patterns, architectures, and platform features. Enable teams to become self-sufficient and effective builders by transferring knowledge, patterns, and best practices rather than owning pipeline delivery.
-
Data Pipeline Design & Best Practices: Provide expert guidance on EDP data pipeline design, including ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and consumption patterns. Advise on Airflow DAG design, dbt project structure, dependency management, and operational best practices—without routinely building or owning pipelines yourself. Help teams adopt scalable, maintainable approaches aligned to medallion (bronze–silver–gold) architectures, data mesh principles, and EDP standards.
-
Snowflake Architecture & Optimization Guidance: Act as a Snowflake subject-matter expert, advising teams on data modeling, SQL design, warehouse sizing, and performance optimization. Review and provide feedback on query patterns, schema designs, and workload configurations to help adopters achieve cost-efficient, performant solutions. Support teams in diagnosing performance or cost issues, guiding them toward effective remediation.
-
Design Review, Quality & Governance: Review pipeline designs, data models, and implementation approaches to ensure alignment with enterprise data quality, governance, and security standards. Coach teams on implementing data quality checks using Great Expectations and on improving metadata, lineage, and discoverability via DataHub or similar tools. Promote consistent engineering standards, documentation practices, and operational readiness.
-
Data Quality & Governance: Implement and promote best practices in data quality, validation, and governance. Utilize Great Expectations for automated data quality checks and DataHub (or similar metadata/catalog tools) to improve data discoverability and lineage tracking. Ensure that solutions meet enterprise data governance standards and enable trust in data for decision-making.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with platform engineering, product management, analytics teams, and business units to align technical solutions with business needs. Provide feedback from client engagements to internal product and engineering teams to influence the EDP’s roadmap and enhancements. Act as a bridge between technical teams and client stakeholders, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding of requirements and outcomes.
-
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: As a principal-level expert, provide thought leadership in data engineering and analytics. Mentor and guide junior forward deployed engineers or analytics engineers in the team (though this role has no direct managerial duties). Lead by example in following agile methodologies, maintaining a data product mindset (delivering iterative improvements and focusing on end-user value), and upholding engineering best practices such as version control, CI/CD for data pipelines, and documentation.
-
Problem Solving & Support: Tackle complex technical challenges in real-time. Troubleshoot critical issues across the EDP stack – from pipeline failures to data inconsistencies – and drive issues to resolution. Serve as the go-to expert for diagnosing problems in SQL queries, data models, Airflow DAGs, and Snowflake performance, ensuring high reliability and responsiveness for client-facing data services.
-
Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in data engineering, analytics, and the investment management industry. Proactively identify opportunities to improve our platform’s practices (e.g., new features in Snowflake, emerging tools in the data ecosystem) and help integrate them to continually enhance the value we deliver to clients.
Role Impact and Opportunities:
In this role, you will be at the forefront of how we enable data-driven transformation both within our company and for our clients. As an FDE Lead, you operate at the critical intersection of data platform engineering and real-world client needs. Your work will directly influence how effectively our internal teams and future external customers harness the Enterprise Data Platform to drive investment insights, operational efficiency, and innovation. By translating the EDP’s technical capabilities into real client success stories, you will help shape best practices, refine platform features through feedback, and amplify the overall value of data across the organization. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact without managing a team, perfect for a senior professional who thrives on solving complex data problems, building trust with clients, and leading through expertise.
Required Qualifications:
-
Extensive Data Engineering Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in data engineering, data architecture, or related fields, with a track record of designing and delivering large-scale data solutions.
-
Expert SQL Skills: Deep proficiency in SQL development and optimization, including writing and tuning complex SQL queries for both ETL processing and analytical reporting/BI use cases. Proven ability to refactor SQL code for efficiency and readability.
-
Pipeline & ETL Orchestration: Strong experience building and orchestrating data pipelines using tools such as Apache Airflow. Ability to develop, schedule, and monitor complex ETL workflows in a production environment.
-
Data Transformation & Modeling: Proficiency with dbt (data build tool) for data transformations and schema management. Solid background in data modeling (relational, dimensional modeling) and designing data architectures following medallion (layered data lake) and/or data mesh principles.
-
Snowflake Expertise: In-depth knowledge of Snowflake’s Data Cloud platform, including its internal architecture, unique features, and best practices. Experience with Snowflake performance tuning (e.g., optimizing warehouses, clustering keys, query profiling) and understanding of how to leverage Snowflake’s capabilities (like zero-copy cloning, data sharing, etc.) in solution designs.
-
Data Quality & Governance Tools: Hands-on experience with data quality/validation frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations) and familiarity with metadata management or data catalog tools (e.g., DataHub) to ensure transparency and trust in data.
-
Problem Solving & Analytical Thinking: Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills. Demonstrated ability to solve complex data engineering problems, optimize performance, and handle large data sets and complex data integration challenges in real-world scenarios.
-
Communication & Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Comfortable working directly with non-technical stakeholders and senior client leaders to gather requirements, explain technical concepts in business terms, and ensure solutions meet business objectives.
-
Agile & Product Mindset: Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams with an iterative delivery approach. Strong product mindset – ability to think of data pipelines and models as products that need to deliver ongoing value and adapt to changing requirements.
-
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Industry Expertise: Experience in the investment management or financial services industry, with understanding of common data challenges and use cases in this domain (e.g. portfolio analytics, risk, trading data, regulatory reporting).
-
Professional Certifications: Relevant certifications such as Snowflake SnowPro certifications and dbt certification (if available) are highly desirable, demonstrating validated expertise.
-
Additional Data Tool Experience: Familiarity with complementary data technologies and frameworks (e.g., cloud data processing with Spark or Kafka streaming, data lake platforms, BI/analytics tools) is a plus.
-
Consulting/Client-Facing Experience: Prior experience in a forward-deployed engineering role, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or technical account management is beneficial. This includes working on-site or closely with customers to deliver technical solutions, gather requirements, and ensure customer success.
-
Leadership in Practice: While this is an IC role, experience leading projects or mentoring other engineers can be advantageous, indicating readiness to operate at a principal/IC-lead level.

Forward Deploy Sr. Data Engineer-VP
$148000 - $200000
About this role
About the Role
BlackRock's Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) is the firm's strategic foundation for how data products are built, governed, and consumed at scale, powering investment decisions, risk analytics, and operational workflows across the firm and its global client base.
Data Platform as a Service (DPaaS) is a core capability within EDP, purpose-built to make data product creation fast, reliable, and repeatable. Whether a team is onboarding a new market data feed, publishing a risk dataset, or operationalizing a model output, DPaaS provides the infrastructure, tooling, and guided experience to take a raw data source and turn it into a trusted, production-grade data product. Teams get acquisition, ingestion, transformation, quality validation, and governance without having to build any of it themselves.
Why This Role is Exciting
Most engineers either build platforms or use them. As a Forward Deploy Engineer on the DPaaS team, you do both.
You will deploy by embedding directly with teams across the firm, bringing their data products to life and solving real problems that only surface when a platform meets production data. You will build by developing solutions that fill gaps and make it easier for teams to create and publish data products on EDP.
You will be at the frontier of how BlackRock thinks about data products, working with real users, influencing what gets built next, and seeing your work in production quickly across a wide range of data domains.

Client Enablement
- Act as a trusted technical advisor on data product design and onboarding best practices for partner engineering and data teams
- Run office hours, enablement sessions, and targeted training to help teams build platform confidence independently
- Translate partner-specific data requirements into platform-compatible data product configurations
- Document onboarding patterns, common failure modes, and solutions into reusable playbooks
- Capture and channel structured feedback from onboarding engagements into the DPaaS product and engineering roadmap
AI Assisted Development & Intelligent Data Product Onboarding
- Use AI assisted coding tools as a core part of daily workflow, accelerating configuration authoring, pipeline generation, and onboarding automation
- Build and contribute to AI assisted onboarding workflows leveraging schema inference, automated attribute mapping, and AI driven data profiling to reduce manual effort
- Implement emerging AI tooling including Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI agents, and Copilot extensions to automate repetitive onboarding tasks
- Define what AI native data product creation looks like on EDP, contributing patterns that shape the platform roadmap
Feedback Loop & Platform Evolution
- Translate real onboarding experiences into structured product feedback that drives platform improvements
- Work closely with DPaaS product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to close the loop between partner needs and platform capabilities
- Navigate and operate across the full DPaaS technology stack including structured and unstructured data pipelines, Azure Data Lake Storage, Snowflake, Kubernetes, and Vault

- Experience with orchestration and pipeline tooling for structured data (e.g., Apache Airflow) and unstructured data processing frameworks
- Deep familiarity with the Azure ecosystem including Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Factory, and Azure-native data services
- Experience with Snowflake across the full data lifecycle including ingestion, transformation, data sharing, dynamic tables, streams, tasks, and Snowpark
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, and cloud-native infrastructure on Azure
- Demonstrated experience working directly with client or partner engineering teams in a client-facing or embedded capacity
- Active user of AI assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent)
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in a forward deploy, solutions engineering, or client-embedded engineering role
- Familiarity with financial data platforms or enterprise data ecosystems
- Experience with data governance, data cataloging, or metadata management platforms
- Exposure to dbt or data quality validation frameworks
- Hands-on experience with unstructured data processing including document parsing, embeddings, vector stores, or blob-based data pipelines
- Hands-on experience with LLM based tooling, AI agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, MCP), or building Copilot extensions
- Working knowledge of other cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and their equivalent data services such as S3, Redshift, BigQuery, and Dataflow, a strong differentiator for candidates working across multi-cloud data environments
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices (Azure DevOps, ArgoCD)

Forward Deploy Data Engineer-Associate
$120000 - $148000
About this role
About the Role
BlackRock's Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) is the firm's strategic foundation for how data products are built, governed, and consumed at scale, powering investment decisions, risk analytics, and operational workflows across the firm and its global client base.
Data Platform as a Service (DPaaS) is a core capability within EDP, purpose-built to make data product creation fast, reliable, and repeatable. Whether a team is onboarding a new market data feed, publishing a risk dataset, or operationalizing a model output, DPaaS provides the infrastructure, tooling, and guided experience to take a raw data source and turn it into a trusted, production-grade data product. Teams get acquisition, ingestion, transformation, quality validation, and governance without having to build any of it themselves.
Why This Role is Exciting
Most engineers either build platforms or use them. As a Forward Deploy Engineer on the DPaaS team, you do both.
You will deploy by embedding directly with teams across the firm, bringing their data products to life and solving real problems that only surface when a platform meets production data. You will build by developing solutions that fill gaps and make it easier for teams to create and publish data products on EDP.
You will be at the frontier of how BlackRock thinks about data products, working with real users, influencing what gets built next, and seeing your work in production quickly across a wide range of data domains.

- Run technical onboarding sessions and workshops tailored to each team's data product needs
- Enable partner teams to self-serve on data product creation over time, reducing dependency on FDE support
Solution Development & Platform Contribution
- Develop reusable data product accelerators including pipeline templates, configuration generators, and schema mapping utilities
- Build custom acquisition connectors, ingestion templates, and transformation scaffolding for both structured and unstructured data
- Contribute to core DPaaS platform engineering efforts including new feature development and framework improvements
- Build and maintain data product accelerators and onboarding utilities that become reusable assets across the platform
Client Enablement
- Act as a trusted technical advisor on data product design and onboarding best practices for partner engineering and data teams
- Run office hours, enablement sessions, and targeted training to help teams build platform confidence independently
- Translate partner-specific data requirements into platform-compatible data product configurations
- Document onboarding patterns, common failure modes, and solutions into reusable playbooks
- Capture and channel structured feedback from onboarding engagements into the DPaaS product and engineering roadmap
AI Assisted Development & Intelligent Data Product Onboarding
- Use AI assisted coding tools as a core part of daily workflow, accelerating configuration authoring, pipeline generation, and onboarding automation
- Build and contribute to AI assisted onboarding workflows leveraging schema inference, automated attribute mapping, and AI driven data profiling to reduce manual effort
- Implement emerging AI tooling including Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI agents, and Copilot extensions to automate repetitive onboarding tasks
- Define what AI native data product creation looks like on EDP, contributing patterns that shape the platform roadmap
Feedback Loop & Platform Evolution
- Translate real onboarding experiences into structured product feedback that drives platform improvements
- Work closely with DPaaS product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to close the loop between partner needs and platform capabilities
- Navigate and operate across the full DPaaS technology stack including structured and unstructured data pipelines, Azure Data Lake Storage, Snowflake, Kubernetes, and Vault
- Validate data product correctness and pipeline integrity across raw, staging, and curated data layers
- Support testing and validation of new platform capabilities before broader rollout
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of data engineering or software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production-grade solutions
- Understanding of data product concepts including schema design, data ownership, SLAs, quality frameworks, and governance
- Experience working with both structured and unstructured data
- Strong proficiency in Python; working knowledge of Java or Go is a plus
- Experience with orchestration and pipeline tooling for structured data (e.g., Apache Airflow) and unstructured data processing frameworks
- Familiarity with the Azure ecosystem including Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Factory, and Azure-native data services
- Working knowledge of Snowflake including ingestion patterns, database setup, roles, and basic query optimization
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, and cloud-native infrastructure on Azure
- Some experience working directly with client or partner engineering teams in a collaborative or client-facing capacity
- Active user of AI assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent)
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior exposure to a forward deploy, solutions engineering, or client-embedded engineering role
- Familiarity with financial data platforms or enterprise data ecosystems
- Experience with data governance, data cataloging, or metadata management platforms
- Exposure to dbt or data quality validation frameworks
- Hands-on experience with unstructured data processing including document parsing, embeddings, vector stores, or blob-based data pipelines
- Familiarity with LLM based tooling or AI agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, MCP)
- Working knowledge of other cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and their equivalent data services such as S3, Redshift, BigQuery, and Dataflow
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices (Azure DevOps, ArgoCD)
