Join Our Team…

GoDaddy is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help define and scale 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 operate as a technical leader at platform scale, shaping the architecture and direction of systems that directly impact engineering velocity across the company. You’ll work on high-impact initiatives such as AI-powered developer tooling, next-generation API platforms, and the evolution of a unified developer experience spanning APIs, CLI, and UI.

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role where Staff Engineers drive decisions, influence product direction, and partner across infrastructure, security, and platform teams. If you’re motivated by building systems that improve how other engineers work-and want to have a measurable impact on developer productivity at scale-this team sits at the center of GoDaddy’s engineering ecosystem.
