Principal Software Engineer

About us

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 offsites.

Join Our Team

GoDaddy is building a central platform for managing CICD for all of its applications, using AWS and GitHub Actions. This is a major initiative at the company, with the aim of reducing fragmentation and increasing security, consistency, leverage, and most of all developer productivity and happiness. We have over a hundred applications on this platform already, but we need you to help us take this to the next level, as we've only just begun.

This is a software development role, and it covers the range from automating infrastructure to adding features to our UI and everything in between. We are a small team of five engineers who collaborate remotely from various locations across US to UK time zones.
