Staff Site Reliability Engineer-Observability

GEDE (Global Edge and Domains Engineering) keeps GoDaddy's domains, edge, and aftermarket platforms running for millions of customers. Within GEDE, the Reliability Engineering team (Domains Production Engineering) is the group that gets the call when something breaks — and, more importantly, builds the systems that mean it breaks less often. We own the monitoring, compliance, and patching toolchain for the whole Domains infrastructure footprint, provide advanced incident support, and are actively modernizing how the org detects, diagnoses, and even auto-remediates issues with AI-assisted tooling!

• →Steer our cloud migration journey and bolster our efforts to keep the services reliable and performant.
• →Own patching compliance and vulnerability remediation at scale across a mixed on-prem + AWS fleet, hitting hard SLA targets. Operate and extend our multi-tenant Kubernetes/ArgoCD platform, including the migration of core services.
• →Contribute to our AI/automation initiatives: auto-generating runbooks from Prometheus alerts, ServiceNow change-risk scoring, and other tooling that reduces toil for the whole team
• →Consult with partner dev teams on metrics, alert thresholds, and monitoring standards — this is a platform-enablement role, not just a ticket queue. Mentor other engineers on the team and help mature our operational practices.
