Developer II (IT@JH Financial Systems)

Job Details

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

IT@JH Financial Systems is seeking a Developer II who will support administrative departments and business units (including HR, Finance, Payroll, and Shared Services) that rely on ServiceNow for case management and service delivery. The position focuses on managing and enhancing the ServiceNow platform, including workflows, record producers, and integrations with enterprise systems, rather than end user devices such as laptops or mobile hardware. Work includes a combination of ticket-based activities (e.g., defects, access requests, configuration updates) and project-based assignments (e.g., new service onboarding, automation, and system enhancements). The role operates with moderate to high independence, collaborating closely with business stakeholders and technical team members, while following established service management processes and delivery standards.

• Author and maintain documentation by writing audience-appropriate materials to serve as technical and/or end-user references.

Implementation & Maintenance

• Implement changes by adhering to the change management policies and procedures for any given project to communicate to all parties the nature, significance, and risk factors of the solution.
• Monitor changes and resolve problems by responding to problems as they occur, by reviewing all processing and output of the newly implemented solution, and by proactively ensuring the solution works successfully to satisfy the customer requirements and to provide a smooth transition to the new solution.
• Provide support by triaging and resolving issues to ensure prompt, effective service.
• Other duties as assigned.
