GoDaddy is empowering everyday entrepreneurs and innovators by enabling them to bring their ideas to life online. Our Authorization Team plays a pivotal role within GoDaddy’s Identity & Access Management (IAM) ecosystem. We build and maintain an internal Authorization Platform that provides relationship-based access control (ReBAC) to ensure our products are both secure and collaborative, enabling multi-user experiences across GoDaddy’s diverse product portfolio.

As a member of this small, dynamic, and distributed team spread across US Central and Pacific time zones, you’ll be integral in creating a secure, scalable, and high-performance Authorization Platform.

Collaboration & Integration: Work closely with product teams, internal stakeholders, and the broader Identity ecosystem. You’ll integrate our platform with other GoDaddy products and services, applying modern identity standards (e.g., OAuth, OpenID) where applicable.

Quality & Reliability: Write clean, maintainable code, perform code reviews, and ensure that the Authorization Platform is secure, reliable, and easy to use for other internal teams.

Continuous Improvement: Take an active role in the entire development lifecycle, from design and coding to testing, deployment, and ongoing support. You’ll identify areas for improvement and propose innovative solutions.
