Staff Research Scientist
ServiceNow, Inc.
Tout a commencé sous le soleil de San Diego, en Californie, en 2004, lorsqu’un ingénieur visionnaire, Fred Luddy, a vu le potentiel de transformer notre façon de travailler. Aujourd’hui, ServiceNow se présente comme un leader mondial du marché, apportant une technologie innovante améliorée par l’IA à plus de 8 100 clients, dont 85% des entreprises du Fortune 500®.

######
It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone—freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI‑native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.
Join us to put AI to work for people.
Description de poste
En tant que chercheur principal, vous travaillerez sur des questions de recherche auxquelles la plupart des laboratoires d’IA n’ont tout simplement pas accès. La recherche en IA de ServiceNow a pour mission de bâtir l’avenir de l’IA agentique en entreprise, avec un point de vue privilégié : nous observons le comportement réel des agents, au sein d’environnements d’entreprise complexes et à grande échelle.
Vous contribuerez à des initiatives de recherche portant sur la manière dont les agents accumulent et réutilisent les connaissances tacites, sur leur capacité d’apprentissage et d’amélioration continue, ainsi que sur leur résilience, leur sécurité et la confidentialité des données qu’ils traitent. Ce sont les véritables obstacles au déploiement de l’IA agentique en entreprise aujourd’hui, et ils apparaissent dans la réalité opérationnelle bien avant d’être documentés dans la littérature scientifique.
Alors que la majeure partie de la communauté IA et TAL se concentre sur les capacités fondamentales des agents, notre équipe explore les dimensions qui déterminent l’adoption réelle : mécanismes de sécurité, détection des menaces, garanties de confidentialité et pratiques d’IA responsable. Vous aurez la liberté de publier et de faire progresser l’état de l’art, avec l’avantage rare de tester vos hypothèses sur de véritables déploiements plutôt que sur des bancs d’essai.
#######
As a Staff Researcher, you will work on research questions that most AI labs simply do not have access to. ServiceNow AI Research is chartered to build the future of enterprise agentic AI, from a rare vantage point: we see how agents actually behave, inside complex enterprise environments, at scale.
You will contribute to research initiatives on how agents accumulate and reuse tacit knowledge, learn and improve continuously, and on their resilience, their safety, and the privacy of the data they handle. These are the real obstacles to enterprise agentic deployment today, and they surface in operational reality well before they appear in the literature.
While much of the AI and NLP community concentrates on core agent capabilities, our team explores the dimensions that determine real adoption: safety mechanisms, threat detection, privacy guarantees, and responsible AI practices. You will have the freedom to publish and advance the state of the art, with the rare advantage of testing your hypotheses against real deployments rather than against benchmarks.
Qualifications
- Doctorat en informatique, en apprentissage automatique ou dans un domaine connexe, ou expérience de recherche équivalente
- Au moins deux ans d’expérience de recherche après le doctorat, dont une part importante en milieu industriel ou au contact direct de systèmes déployés
- Historique de publications dans des conférences de premier plan (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP ou équivalents), avec des contributions reconnues comme influentes dans votre domaine
- Expérience avérée de définition et d’exécution d’un programme de recherche, et pas seulement d’exécution : vous avez choisi des problèmes avant que la communauté ne s’y intéresse, et vous pouvez expliquer pourquoi
- Expérience de travail au sein d’équipes ou de projets interdisciplinaires, en collaboration avec des chercheurs et des ingénieurs
- Solides compétences en développement logiciel : vous écrivez, maintenez et optimisez du code de recherche de haute qualité, et vous savez ce qu’il faut pour qu’un résultat survive le passage en production
- Utilisation avancée des outils agentiques dans votre propre pratique de recherche, et volonté de faire progresser les pratiques de l’équipe dans ce domaine
- Capacité démontrée d’influencer des décisions techniques au-delà de votre propre équipe, notamment auprès des équipes produit et ingénierie
- Excellentes aptitudes de communication, incluant la capacité d’expliquer des travaux techniques complexes à des publics non spécialisés et à des dirigeants
Atouts
- Expertise dans un ou plusieurs des domaines suivants : mémoire des agents et connaissances tacites, apprentissage continu, sécurité et alignement, sécurité informatique et détection des menaces, confidentialité, évaluation des agents
- Expérience de systèmes d’IA opérant dans de véritables environnements d’entreprise, avec les contraintes de conformité, de gouvernance et d’échelle que cela implique
- Contributions à des logiciels libres, jeux de données ou bancs d’essai d’évaluation utilisés par la communauté
- Rôles de service scientifique : comités de programme, travail éditorial, organisation d’ateliers
- Collaborations académiques ou encadrement de doctorants
- Maîtrise du français, ou intérêt à l’apprendre, dans un environnement de travail bilingue à Montréal
Requirements
- PhD in computer science, machine learning, or a related field, or equivalent research experience
- 2 or more years of research experience post-PhD, a significant portion of it in an industrial setting or in direct contact with deployed systems
- Established publication record at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, or equivalents), with contributions recognized as influential in your field
- Demonstrated track record of setting/executing research agenda, not only executing one: you have chosen problems before the community turned to them, and you can explain why
- Experience working on cross-disciplinary teams or projects collaborating with researchers and engineers
- Strong software development skills: you write, maintain, and optimize high-quality research code, and you know what it takes for a result to survive the move into production
- Advanced use of agentic tools in your own research practice, and a willingness to advance the team's practices in this area
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical decisions beyond your own team, particularly with product and engineering teams
- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical work to non-specialist audiences and to executives
Nice to have
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas: agent memory and tacit knowledge, continual learning, safety and alignment, security and threat detection, privacy, agent evaluation
- Experience with AI systems operating in real enterprise environments, with the compliance, governance, and scale constraints that entails
- Contributions to open source software, datasets, or evaluation benchmarks used by the community
- Scientific service roles: program committees, editorial work, workshop organization
- Academic collaborations or supervision of doctoral students
- Fluency in French, or interest in learning it, in a bilingual Montreal work environment
