Technical Program Manager - AWS Cloud Infrastructure
About The Position
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 - Global Production Engineering looks after GoDaddy's global infrastructure, in the cloud and on-premises. We are hiring an experienced Technical Program Manager, focused on our AWS cloud infrastructure, to plan, lead and deliver complex cross-team initiatives. This is a heavily coordination-focused role: you will own the execution of a portfolio of AWS cloud platform and cost-savings programs, working hands-on with software engineers, engineering managers and SREs to achieve outcomes aligned with the strategy. You will drive dependencies end-to-end, facilitate trade-off decisions, and give collaborators and leadership clear, reliable access to status and risk. You will be an integral part of the Technical Program Management team, partnering closely with engineering leads to ensure GoDaddy delivers on its planned objectives and global strategy.
