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.

What you'll get to do...

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
