You will work closely with stakeholders across infrastructure, applications, cloud, security, and operations teams to define standards and best practices, drive tooling, integrations, and roadmap planning.
Key Responsibilities

Lead the design and solution architecture for discovery tooling (e.g. ServiceNow Discovery, Cloud discovery modules, APM, etc.), CMDB population, reconciliation, and integration with source systems.
-
Drive the adoption of CSDM / CDMB (Common Service Data Model / Configuration Data Model Best practices) and alignment with enterprise data architecture.
-
Recommend and evaluate discovery / CMDB tools, frameworks, and integrations (e.g. for hardware, software, cloud, network, virtualization, containers).
-
Collaborate with infrastructure, cloud, application, security, and operations teams to identify data sources, connectors, APIs, data ingestion methods, and reconciliation logic.
-
Ensure high data quality, integrity, and consistency across CMDB, with mechanisms for reconciliation, deduplication, verification, and anomaly detection.
-
Define and maintain the roadmap for SACM / discovery capabilities, including enhancements, tool upgrades, governance, metrics, and maturity progression.
-
Lead proof-of-concepts, pilots, and migrations for new discovery or CMDB modules or providers.
-
Define architecture artifacts: solution design, reference models, integration diagrams, data flows, security, capacity, performance, and scalability considerations.
-
Mentor and provide guidance to engineers, analysts, and other architects in the domain.
-
Participate in architecture reviews, change approval, and risk assessments for new systems or changes affecting configuration data.
-
Monitor industry trends, emerging tools, and best practices in discovery, asset management, and CMDB; recommend innovations.
Qualifications / Experience (Required & Preferred)

Understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and discovering cloud resources/assets.
-
Experience in change, incident, and problem management - leveraging CMDB / SACM data to support these domains.
Preferred

Certifications in ServiceNow (e.g. Certified Implementation Specialist for Discovery, CMDB)
-
Experience in enterprise-scale deployments of discovery / SACM / CMDB.
-
Experience with microservices, containers, virtualization, network discovery, and monitoring tools (e.g. scanning, SNMP, APIs).

Experience with automation, scripting, reconciliation engines, and data transformation (Python, Java, ETL).
-
Experience with governance, metrics, dashboards, health scoring of CMDB data.
-
Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF) and service management frameworks (ITIL).
Key Metrics / Success Criteria
-
Accuracy, completeness, and consistency of CMDB data (low error, low drift)
-
Number of integrations / data sources onboarded
-
Reduction in manual configuration data reconciliation efforts
-
Adoption of discovery & SACM practices across IT domains
-
Compliance with architecture and governance standards
-
Time to detect / correct configuration data issues
-
METrics / dashboards for CMDB health, data quality, usage
Working Conditions / Other
