Partner Solution Engineer – EMEA Central
Job Description
The ServiceNow Partner Design Studio is looking for a Partner Solution Engineer with a passion for innovation, design standards, and cutting-edge architecture practices. This is a unique opportunity to shape partner-branded solutions using an AI-first approach — where AI is embedded into every step of design and solutioning. You will help partners design, validate, and accelerate differentiated solutions on the Now Platform through design thinking, deep technical architecture, and go-to-market alignment, ensuring every solution is AI-ready, scalable, and outcome-driven.
As a pooled, forward-deployed engineering authority, you will work across partners as a force multiplier focused on standards, reuse, and quality, certifying into Practices to bring domain depth where it’s needed. By applying the FLIGHT design thinking framework and maintaining architectural rigor, you will accelerate partner time-to-value by up to 2x while establishing reusable patterns and reference architectures that scale across the entire partner ecosystem.
What You’ll Do
As a Partner Solution Engineer, you will define the reference architectures, design standards, and validated patterns that partners build to — serving as the forward-deployed technical authority for AI-infused ServiceNow solutions that address real-world business challenges.
