Senior Engineer, IT System Operations

About the Role

Aprio is a progressive, fast-growing CPA and advisory firm with 40 U.S. office locations, international presence, and over 3,200 team members speaking 60+ languages. The ServiceNow CMDB & IT Asset Management Engineer will design, implement, govern, and continuously improve Aprio's Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) practice within ServiceNow. This role ensures configuration and asset data is accurate, complete, and trusted, supporting Incident, Problem, Change, and Service Management, as well as security, compliance, and cost-management objectives. The position plays a central part in Aprio's ITSM platform modernization, including the migration from SolarWinds to ServiceNow.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain the CMDB in alignment with the ServiceNow Common Service Data Model (CSDM), including CI classes, attributes, and relationships.
• Establish and enforce CMDB governance — data ownership, CI lifecycle states, naming conventions, and CMDB health policies covering completeness, correctness, and compliance.
• Monitor CMDB health through dashboards and KPIs; identify and remediate duplicate, orphaned, stale, and misclassified configuration items.
• Configure and maintain ServiceNow Discovery, MID Servers, and Service Graph Connectors to automatically populate and update configuration items.
• Build and manage integrations that ingest and reconcile asset and configuration data from sources such as Microsoft Intune, SentinelOne, and Dynatrace into the CMDB.
• Administer the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE), reconciliation rules, data source precedence, and transform maps to prevent data conflicts and preserve data integrity.
• Own the hardware and software asset lifecycle — from request and procurement through deployment, maintenance, and retirement or disposal.
• Administer Hardware Asset Management (HAM) and Software Asset Management (SAM Pro), including software models, license entitlements, allocation, reclamation, and license compliance.
• Manage contracts, warranties, purchase orders, and vendor/publisher data; track asset costs and support software true-ups, renewals, and audits.
• Define and operate reconciliation processes across endpoint management, security, and observability platforms to maintain a single source of truth as data transitions from SolarWinds to ServiceNow.
• Develop data normalization routines, audit checks, and exception handling; measure, report, and continuously improve data quality metrics.
• Partner with Incident, Problem, and Change Management to ensure CI relationships accurately support impact analysis, blast-radius assessment, and change risk evaluation.
• Support service mapping and the definition of business services, application services, and their dependencies.
• Build reports, dashboards, and Performance Analytics to surface CMDB health, asset compliance, and lifecycle KPIs for IT leadership and stakeholders.
• Ensure configuration and asset practices align with Aprio's IT Asset Management Standard and applicable security and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2).
• Provide accurate, timely asset and CI data to support audits, risk management, and security operations.
• Document standard operating procedures, runbooks, and governance standards, and contribute to the ongoing maturity of the ITSM program.

• Experience integrating third-party data sources into ServiceNow using REST/SOAP, IntegrationHub, MID Servers, and import sets/transform maps.
• Solid understanding of ITIL / ITSM processes — Incident, Problem, Change, and Configuration Management.
