Overview

Acuity Inc. is growing! We are looking to staff Senior ServiceNow resources supporting one of our premier federal clients.

 

Acuity is focused on building cutting edge, functional applications for many government agencies. We are a team of “doers” with a bias towards action and have a proven track record of implementing innovative technology solutions to solve complex challenges. Our team believes in the importance of usability, user experience (UX), and design within our applications. We seek to break the stereotype of clunky government applications. We use modern design and project management tools such as rapid prototyping and agile development methodologies to build and customize solutions that are easy to use and effective at meeting their business objectives. We think of the applications we have developed as products and work to ship those products in months instead of years.

In this role, you'll be a driving force in designing, building, and maintaining automation solutions within our AWS infrastructure, ensuring seamless operation of our ServiceNow deployment under strict security protocols.

 

Only candidates residing in DC, MD or VA will be considered per this government customer.

If you are passionate about using your skills in IT Modernization, Data Enablement, and Hyperautomation to make a positive impact, you might find a good fit at Acuity. We serve federal agencies as a trusted digital strategy and technology consulting firm, providing innovative technical leadership to support our customers’ critical missions.
