• Participate in recruiting activities, always growing the talent density and diversity of our teams
• Identify and groom future technical leaders
• Support each individual’s growth through mentoring, training, hackathons, and setting and measuring expectations at each stage in an engineer’s career
• Continuously improve agile practices within your team and across GoDaddy
• Create the right connections across all of GoDaddy and provide scope and context between your team and the broader company
• Create an environment of excellence at agile software execution through continuous improvement of the team’s rhythm, process, tools
• Foster an environment of trust and support, where we take calculated risks, learn from our failures, and celebrate our wins
• Demand and deliver excellence in performance, reliability, quality, and speed of delivery
• Maintain a relentless focus on the Customer
• Create and maintain a healthy, happy environment where engineers can do their best work

Your experience should include...

• 7+ years professional software engineering experience; Hands-on Ruby preferred
• Experience designing, building, and shipping systems with multiple tiers, including API, caching, and high throughput data access layers, fronted by modern UI frameworks
• Proven experience and understanding of relevant languages, such as NodeJS, Go, or Java
• Strong drive to learn and grow, and mentor engineers to do the same
• Cloud infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS and containerized compute via Kubernetes and Relational and NoSql datastores – including best practices and appropriate applications of these technologies
• CICD platforms such as Jenkins, Travis or CircleCI
• Delivering in an Agile software development environment and applying continuous improvement principles
• Strong understanding of modern web applications, services and technologies
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design
