Job description

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. .

Join our Team...

GoDaddy Engineering is looking to hire an engineering-minded individual to join a team that builds and maintains core platform services that power our day-to-day developer and engineer experiences. This individual will be vital in maintaining and improving current offerings, as well as having a hand in the direction that our platform should take in the future. As a Senior SRE at GoDaddy, you'll be a key player in the evolution of our Linux-based infrastructure. You'll help shape how we build, scale, and secure systems that support millions of customers around the world.

What you'll get to do...

• Lead the design, deployment, and operation of scalable, resilient, and secure Linux systems across our global platform.
• Diagnose and solve complex system-level issues using your expert knowledge of Linux internals and tools like strace, tcpdump, and systemd.
• Write Python automation for provisioning, observability, self-healing, and system performance optimization.
• Champion SRE best practices-SLOs, error budgets, and blameless postmortems are part of your toolkit.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve infrastructure architecture and developer experience.
• Implement and evolve infrastructure-as-code and CI / CD pipelines using Terraform, Ansible, Git, and more.
• Own incident response and lead post-incident analysis with a focus on resilience and continuous improvement.
• Mentor other engineers and help drive a culture of reliability, learning, and operational excellence.

Your experience should include...

• 7+ years of hands-on experience managing Linux-based systems in high-scale production environments.
• Deep understanding of Linux internals, performance tuning, and system-level debugging.
• Strong experience in Python development, especially for automation, tooling, and backend scripting.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Familiarity with DevOps tools (Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Git) and modern CI / CD workflows.
• Solid foundation in observability and monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog.
• Experience working with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Clear communicator and strong collaborator across time zones and teams.

You might also have...

• Contributions to open-source projects in the Linux, SRE, or DevOps ecosystem.
• Experience with Go or other scripting languages like Bash.
• Exposure to chaos engineering, resilience testing, or advanced fault tolerance strategies.
• Passion for improving developer experience and reducing operational toil.

We've got your back... We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, retirement savings (e.g., 401k, pension schemes), bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, participation in our employee stock purchase plan, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits including parental leave. GoDaddy's benefits vary based on individual role and location and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.

We also embrace our diverse culture and offer a range of Employee Resource Groups (Culture). Have a side hustle? No problem. We love entrepreneurs! Most importantly, come as you are and make your own way.
