Required Skills — At a Glance The following skills are non-negotiable and will be assessed during screening:
Freshworks ITSM (Must-Have)
- Freshservice Administration: Hands-on configuration of Freshservice modules — Incident, Problem, Change, Release, and Service Request Management — including SLA policies, approval workflows, and escalation rules.
- Freshservice API and Webhooks: Building REST API integrations using Freshservice APIs, configuring inbound and outbound webhooks, and managing OAuth authentication for third-party system connectivity.
- Freshservice Orchestration Center: Designing and implementing automated workflows — including trigger-based automation, multi-step orchestration, and condition-based routing for ITSM processes.
- Freshworks Developer Platform (FDK): Developing custom Freshservice apps, writing FDK scripts, and deploying marketplace-compatible integrations to extend native Freshservice functionality.
- Freshservice Analytics: Building custom dashboards and reports to track ITSM KPIs — ticket volumes, SLA compliance, MTTR, and change success rates — for operational and management audiences.
Device42 CMDB (Must-Have)
- CMDB Implementation and Sync: Implementing and maintaining bi-directional data synchronisation between Device42 CMDB and Freshservice Asset Management — including field mapping, conflict resolution, and sync scheduling.
- CI Relationship Mapping: Governing Configuration Item (CI) relationships and dependency chains across Device42 and Freshservice CMDB to support accurate impact analysis during incidents and changes.
- CMDB Automation: Automating CI discovery, reconciliation, and lifecycle updates using Device42 APIs, scripting, and scheduled sync jobs — reducing manual CMDB maintenance overhead.
- CMDB Data Quality Governance: Defining and enforcing data quality standards, duplicate detection rules, and audit processes to maintain CMDB accuracy and completeness over time.
Azure Cloud Integration (Must-Have)
- Azure AD SSO and SCIM: Configuring Azure Active Directory integration with Freshservice for Single Sign-On and automated user provisioning/deprovisioning via SCIM protocol.
- Azure Monitor to ITSM Pipeline: Building alert-to-incident automation — connecting Azure Monitor alert rules to Freshservice ticket creation via Logic Apps, webhooks, or native ITSM connectors.
- Azure Logic Apps and Functions: Designing middleware integration layers using Azure Logic Apps or Azure Functions to connect Freshservice with enterprise systems — including CMDB sync,
change approvals, and notification routing.
- Azure DevOps Change Integration: Linking Azure DevOps release pipelines to Freshservice change management workflows — enabling automated change record creation, approval gating, and post-deployment updates.
Scripting & Qualifications (Must-Have)
- Python / PowerShell / Bash: Writing automation scripts for API interactions, data transformation, scheduled sync jobs, and operational tasks across ITSM, CMDB, and Azure platforms.
- REST API Design and Testing: Proficiency in designing and testing REST API integrations — including OAuth flows, JSON payload handling, error management, and API documentation using Postman or Swagger.
- Experience: 4–8 years in ITSM engineering or IT operations roles, with hands-on Freshservice and Azure integration delivery experience.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering discipline.
- ITIL Knowledge: Practical understanding of ITIL v3 or v4 processes — particularly Incident, Problem, Change Management, and CMDB — applied in real enterprise ITSM environments.
Good to Have The following will differentiate strong candidates and support project delivery:
- ServiceNow or BMC Remedy experience — broadens ITSM platform versatility for clients who use multiple or alternative ITSM tools alongside Freshservice.
- Microsoft Sentinel or Azure Security Center integration — enabling security alert-to-incident pipelines that bridge SOC tooling with ITSM workflows for automated incident creation.
- Network discovery tool knowledge (Nmap, SNMP) — used alongside Device42 for enhanced asset discovery in hybrid and on-premises environments.
- Terraform or ARM/Bicep templates exposure — aligning infrastructure provisioning workflows with CMDB governance and enabling IaC-driven CI record creation.
- Freshworks Certified Administrator certification — demonstrates validated platform knowledge and is preferred by enterprise clients running Freshservice at scale.
- ITIL v4 Foundation or higher certification — validates structured ITSM process knowledge and supports credibility in process design and CSI discussions.
- Power Automate familiarity — practical for low-code integration scenarios within Microsoft 365 environments where Logic Apps are not the preferred tooling.
- Experience working in regulated industry environments (Healthcare, FinTech) where ITSM audit trails, change advisory board (CAB) processes, and CMDB accuracy are compliance-critical.
Candidates who bring deep Freshservice platform expertise combined with strong Azure integration skills and CMDB governance experience — and who can automate and scale ITSM workflows across complex enterprise environments — will be best positioned for this role. Xoriant values engineers who treat ITSM integration as a critical operational backbone, not just a ticketing system.
