Who We Are & What Makes Us Special
We are a young, dynamic consulting company with a clear mission: we help businesses sustainably automate and optimize their processes – powered by ServiceNow and cutting-edge AI technology. Our team combines years of experience in IT consulting and startups with a passion for doing things differently and better.
What drives us
We believe that true innovation happens when people take ownership and shape things together. That's why we live entrepreneurship not only internally, but also in the way we work with our clients: approachable, solution-oriented, and always at eye level.
Our promise
We establish ServiceNow as a central platform for workflows, data, and AI. With state-of-the-art AI, we digitize and automate processes – from CRM and customer service to HR and IT. The result: radically increased efficiency, full transparency, and a user experience that inspires.
Our vision
Pulse & Patterns was founded to build a company that makes decisions aligned with our values and enables genuine co-creation. We live a culture where trust, freedom, and innovation are paramount. We don't care when or where you work – we care about what you achieve. From day one, you'll take on responsibility, bring your ideas to the table, and become part of a team that values you as a person. Together, we shape not only our clients' futures, but our own growth – and we look forward to people who want to walk this path with us.
The Role – Lead Architect ServiceNow
