Location Details: Colombia, remote. 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.

If you can translate a business problem into a technical architecture and that architecture into team execution — and you want to build the AI Ops pattern for a large-scale data organization, this role is for you. What you'll get to do... Own and operate GoDaddy's analytical and data intelligence platforms(Redshift, QuickSight, FeedDB, Protegrity, Alation) as the authoritative L1/L2 platform owner — driving reliability, deployment standards, cost optimization, and user enablement across an ecosystem with a 50PB+ data lake and thousands of consumers. Lead 24/7 incident management and production operations across 10+ Data & AI platforms, owning MTTR/MTTD targets, AAR rigor, and a root-cause-to-control loop that converts every incident into a runbook, monitoring improvement, or automation — not just a resolved ticket. Architect and advanced Forge Ops OS, the team's agent-based operating model. This model uses hi
