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., 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. What You'll Get to Do... * Design and build platform services that power GoDaddy's internal developer ecosystem, used by 1,000+ engineers. * Lead architecture and technical direction for high-scale APIs, infrastructure orchestration, and metadata systems. * Develop AI-powered developer tooling, including chat-based and agentic workflows. * Partner cross-functionally with infrastructure, security, and platform teams to integrate core capabilities. * Own production systems end-to-end, including performance, reliability, and on-call responsibilities. Your Experience Should Include... * Strong backend engineering with Node.js / TypeScript and scalable API design (REST, versioning, contracts). * Experience building systems on AWS (ECS/Fargate, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, IAM). * Full-stack development using React / Next.js. * Distributed systems fundamentals (data modeling, caching, consistency, system design). * CI/CD and testing best practices (GitHub Actions, unit/integration testing). ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [HTTP headers that make your website go faster](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1676-http-headers-that-make-your-website-go-faster) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) - [Event based cache invalidation in GraphQL](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/433-event-based-cache-invalidation-in-graphql) - [The internal developer platform and golden paths: Scaffolding for cloud-native development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1039-the-internal-developer-platform-and-golden-paths-scaffolding-for-cloud-native-development) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
