At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time, others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.
This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.
GoDaddy is not currently considering candidates for this role in California, Seattle, or NYC.
Join Our Team
GoDaddy is hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to help build and improve our Internal Developer Platform — a centralized system that powers how engineers across the company build, deploy, and operate software. This platform is used by 1,000+ engineers to manage everything from cloud infrastructure and application lifecycle to security, compliance, and cost transparency.
In this role, you'll own meaningful pieces of the platform end-to-end: designing, building, and shipping services that engineers across GoDaddy depend on every day. You'll work on initiatives like AI-powered developer tooling, API platform improvements, and a unified developer experience spanning APIs, CLI, and UI.
You'll work with minimal guidance on day-to-day delivery, partner with infrastructure, security, and platform teams, and take a visible role on a small, cross-functional agile team — leading code reviews, driving ideas at sprint planning, and mentoring teammates. If you're motivated by building tools that make other engineers faster, this team sits at the center of GoDaddy's engineering ecosystem.
What You'll Get to Do...
- Design, build, and ship platform services and features used by 1,000+ engineers
- Contribute to the design of high-scale APIs, infrastructure orchestration, and metadata systems
- Build AI-powered developer tooling, including chat-based and agentic workflows
- Partner with infrastructure, security, and platform teams to integrate core capabilities
- Own the components you build in production — performance, reliability, debugging complex production issues, and on-call rotation
- Independently spot problem areas in your area of responsibility and proactively fix them
- Champion testing practices and raise the quality bar with your teammates
Your Experience Should Include...
- Backend engineering with Node.js / TypeScript and experience designing APIs (REST, versioning, contracts)
- Experience building on AWS (ECS/Fargate, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, IAM)
- Full-stack development using React / Next.js
- Solid distributed systems fundamentals (data modeling, caching, consistency, system design)
- CI/CD and testing best practices (GitHub Actions, unit/integration testing)
- Comfort working in Scrum, with a genuine interest in improving both the product and the process
- Curiosity about AI tooling and a habit of integrating it into your daily workflow
You Might Also Have...
- Experience with an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) or developer tooling ecosystem
- Familiarity with LLM/AI integrations, agentic workflows, or prompt engineering
- Exposure to ServiceNow / CMDB or enterprise metadata systems
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation)
- Knowledge of security and secrets management (Vault, IAM, compliance practices)
- Contributions to internal open source or technology working groups
