Senior Incident Management Practice Engineer

Become a part of our caring community

The Senior Incident Management Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and continuously evolving the enterprise Incident management practice with a strong emphasis on AI enablement, automation, and cross-functional integration. This role drives operational resilience by leveraging AIOps, advanced analytics, and standardized processes across ITSM functions to proactively detect, respond to, and prevent service disruptions while minimizing business impact and improving service reliability at scale.

The Incident Management Practice Engineer leads the transformation and maturity of incident management capabilities across the enterprise, with a focus on AI-driven operations, automation, and seamless integration across ITSM practices including Problem, Change, and Knowledge Management.

This role is accountable for defining governance models, and operational frameworks aligned to ITIL 4 and enterprise objectives. The engineer works across technology, SRE, and ITSM teams to drive consistency, eliminate silos, and ensure incident management is tightly integrated with upstream and downstream processes.

A core component of the role is AI enablement by embedding AIOps, machine learning, and predictive analytics into the incident lifecycle. This includes implementing intelligent alert correlation, predictive incident detection, automated triage, and self-healing capabilities to reduce noise, accelerate resolution, and prevent repeat issues.

The engineer will design and optimize end-to-end workflows within ServiceNow, leveraging automation and AI to improve efficiency and scale. They will also partner closely with observability and engineering teams to enhance monitoring strategies, event management, and root cause insights.

In addition, the role establishes and governs continuous improvement cycles—using centralized dashboards, KPIs (e.g., MTTR, SLA/SLO attainment, deflection rates, automation coverage), and AI performance metrics to drive measurable outcomes. The position requires both strategic leadership and hands-on execution to deliver sustained improvements in incident reduction, response effectiveness, and service stability.
