Senior Manager, Software Engineering

Location Details:

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 position may be a hybrid or fully remote position, as decided by your manager. If designated as hybrid, you’ll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office location, so you should live within commuting distance. If designated as remote, you’ll be working remotely from your home and may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings. Your hiring manager can share more about this role’s hybrid or remote designation.

Join our team

The Customer Engagement Data team within the larger Customer and Site organization is a growing platform team dedicated to the data used in our campaign and messaging platforms. This data must be timely, accurate, and as up-to-date as possible, as it drives real-time messaging and notifications, along with outbound communications (email and SMS, etc) to our customers. This includes messaging and notifications that enhance the customer experience, drive engagement, and support business objectives. This position will have complete ownership of our Customer Engagement Platform Data Pipeline and integration with both internal and external systems.

Our data platform has to have top-notch observability, with end-to-end system monitoring, platform availability, and reporting across the entire pipeline (for example, visibility of data feeds to and from sources and data source-specific SLAs).

If you have a solid technical foundation and are passionate about data platform architecture, have strong people management skills, and enjoy being a part of a geo-distributed team, we want to hear from you. Join us in our mission to build scalable data, marketing, and messaging platforms to meet the needs of our teams who communicate with our ~21 million customers.
