We are looking for an experienced engineer to join the Infrastructure Management and Automation team. In this role, you’ll help shape and build the tools, platforms, and automation that power and manage GoDaddy’s growing infrastructure footprint while leading the design of scalable solutions to complex operational challenges.

Our infrastructure platform empowers GoDaddy engineers to help small business customers start, grow, and run their ventures. GoDaddy teams rely on our infrastructure solutions every day, whether for development workflows or hosting production workloads at global scale. If you enjoy solving complex technical problems, designing scalable systems, influencing technical direction, and improving how infrastructure is managed and automated, we’d love to hear from you!

• →Lead the design and evolution of GoDaddy’s next generation of infrastructure management platforms and automation systems, taking ownership of complex technical areas from design through delivery and operation
• →Leverage modern engineering practices and AI-assisted development workflows to rapidly design, build, and deliver scalable internal tooling and automation
• →Design and build reliable services and integrations across infrastructure platforms and operational systems, including provisioning, networking, IPAM, DNS, CMDB, and asset management workflows
• →Partner with engineering and operations teams to identify opportunities, shape technical solutions, and improve infrastructure reliability, scalability, utilization, and operational efficiency
• →Drive architectural and engineering decisions for ambiguous or cross-cutting infrastructure problems, balancing near-term delivery with reusable patterns and long-term maintainability
• →Mentor and support other engineers, establish strong engineering patterns and practices, and help raise the technical quality of solutions across the team

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building full stack solutions using Python and JavaScript
• Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, distributed system concepts, and system/performance optimization
• Hands-on experience designing, developing, and consuming RESTful APIs and services, with a solid grasp of web fundamentals (HTTP, JSON, authentication, etc.)
• Experience designing and delivering complex software systems or automation platforms that integrate across multiple services, data sources, or infrastructure domains
• Experience working with relational databases (MySQL or similar), data stores (Redis or similar), source control (Git), and CI/CD tooling
• Experience making technical design decisions, working through ambiguity, and driving solutions from initial problem definition through production delivery and operational support
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) as part of day-to-day engineering workflows
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience influencing technical direction and partnering effectively across engineering and operational teams

• Experience with configuration management and infrastructure automation tools (Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack, or similar technologies)
• Experience with enterprise workflow and infrastructure management platforms (ServiceNow, CMDB/asset management, or workflow automation platforms)
• Exposure to cloud and hybrid infrastructure environments (preferably AWS)
• Experience building integrations across infrastructure platforms and operational systems (provisioning, networking, IPAM, DNS, or asset management tooling)
• Familiarity with large-scale infrastructure orchestration, virtualization, and operational workflows (OpenStack, VMware, or similar technologies)
• Experience with observability, monitoring, or operational telemetry platforms and using data to improve reliability and efficiency
• Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing technical designs, and creating reusable engineering patterns that can be adopted beyond a single feature or project
• Passion for solving complex infrastructure and distributed systems challenges while building scalable, reliable solutions
