Do you want to be an Information Security Lead at GoDaddy? GoDaddy’s Security organization is looking for a Cloud Security Engineer. We work out large-scale and cross-company security challenges while ensuring that partnership with the development and operational communities remains front of mind. At GoDaddy, Security Engineers apply their strong hands-on technical skills to craft scalable solutions for multiple problems. You must communicate with GoDaddy Engineering teams, perform security assessments, prioritize security risks, and design. We, as a team, implement high-quality security engineering solutions!

What you'll get to do...

The Principal Security Cloud Engineer is a senior technical leadership role responsible for defining, evolving, and driving GoDaddy's security architecture at scale. This role operates with broad organizational influence, crafting long-term security strategy, architectural direction, and engineering standards across multiple services and platforms.

As a recognized subject-matter expert, you'll address the most complex and ambiguous security challenges in hyperscale cloud environments. The role requires deep technical depth, strong architectural judgment, and the ability to influence senior engineering leaders and executives. Success is measured not only by individual technical contributions but by the security outcomes delivered across organizations through vision, mentorship, and cross-team alignment.

• Lead the development of long-term AWS cloud security architecture and strategy, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and risk posture
• Architect hyperscale security solutions that balance security, availability, performance, and customer experience, supported by reference architectures, guardrails, and design patterns
• Conduct security architecture reviews and threat modeling for high-risk services, identify systemic security risks, and drive cross-organizational remediation initiatives
• Influence service roadmaps to integrate security early in the design lifecycle, champion automation frameworks, policy-as-code, and continuous assurance mechanisms, and lead complex incident response efforts
• Mentor engineers at all levels to raise the security bar, partner with senior leadership on priorities, and represent AWS security architecture in executive reviews and technical forums

Your experience should include...

• 12+ years in security engineering, cloud infrastructure, or distributed systems with proven leadership of large-scale security initiatives and experience designing/securing hyperscale cloud platforms
• Deep AWS security expertise across IAM, VPC, KMS, EC2, EKS, serverless architectures, logging, monitoring, and core security domains (identity management, network segmentation, cryptography, secrets management, detection engineering)
• Strong technical engineering skills including threat modeling, security architecture design, infrastructure-as-code/policy-as-code (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform), and proficiency in Python, Go, or Java
• Proven ability to influence and lead across organizational boundaries without direct authority in complex, distributed environments
• This role requires overlap with US business hours for collaboration with US-based teams

You might also have...

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Familiarity with global security and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, SOC, PCI) and their application at scale

We've got your back... We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, retirement savings (e.g., 401k, pension schemes), bonus/incentive eligibility, equity grants, participation in our employee stock purchase plan, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits including parental leave. GoDaddy’s benefits vary based on individual role and location and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.
