What this job asks for AI summary
A senior practitioner-leader role at Deloitte embedded with strategic clients to architect and deliver GenAI/LLM-powered solutions on the ServiceNow platform. The position combines hands-on engineering — designing RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and copilot experiences — with pod leadership (2–5 engineers), executive client engagement, and program governance. Suited to someone who can credibly advise C-suite stakeholders while remaining deeply technical.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a genuine hybrid between hands-on senior engineering and people/program management (leading pods, executive client engagement, pipeline development). It was classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the JD emphasizes hands-on architecture and code delivery; Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021) is a credible alternative given the pod leadership, escalation ownership, and business development duties.
No specific work location is stated; the role requires 50% travel and may be filled anywhere in the US, so no CBSA was assigned.
The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree (or equivalent)' — the explicit 'or equivalent' means no formal degree is hard-gated.
ServiceNow ITSM certification and Certified Application Developer (CAD) appear in the required qualifications block and are treated as hard gates, though they are certifications rather than technologies.
The Claude Code / MCP orchestration / agentic workstream experience and ServiceNow SDK experience with Claude/GitHub appear in the required block but are framed with 'a plus' or as a 'track record' — they were marked preferred to reflect the mixed framing.
The '10+ years of consulting or relevant industry experience' and '4+ years overseeing multiple project teams' appear in the required block alongside the 7+ years software engineering requirement; the overall years minimum is set to 7 (the primary software engineering gate) as the consulting figure overlaps substantially.
ServiceNow Certified Master Architect (CMA) and Certified Technical Architect (CTA) are listed under Preferred qualifications.
