Join Our Team...
We are looking for an experienced engineer to join the Infrastructure Management and Automation team.

- 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
Your experience should include...
- 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
You might also have...
- 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
