Job Description
Naval Base San Diego, California
IT Depot has an opportunity for an experienced ServiceNow Developer – App Engine / Migration Lead to support enterprise application modernization for the U.S. Navy at Naval Base San Diego. This is a senior, hands-on engineering role for a developer with strong App Engine, custom application development, JavaScript, data migration, testing, and workflow redesign experience—not a junior administrator or configuration-only position.
