This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.

Join our team

We are looking for a Specialist - Domain Services to join the GoDaddy Corporate Domains team. In this role, you’ll be the technical bridge between our Client Services team and our engineering department. When domain or system issues arise, you'll investigate, troubleshoot using your expertise, and drive resolution. But you won't stop there, you'll collaborate with Product and Engineering to implement systemic improvements that keep issues from happening again.

What you'll get to do...

  • Be the technical detective – Investigate client-reported issues using your specialized DNS knowledge, determine whether they're bugs, systemic problems, or isolated incidents, and conduct root cause analysis to uncover underlying issues.
  • Drive problems to permanent resolution – Coordinate cross-functional efforts to resolve client issues quickly, then collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to implement fixes that prevent recurrence.
  • Bridge technical and business worlds – Translate complex platform and DNS information into clear, straightforward explanations that empower Client Services and internal stakeholders.
  • Own the issue lifecycle – Maintain clear communication from investigation through resolution, ensuring clients stay informed and issues are thoroughly documented for future prevention.

Your experience should include...

  • 4+ years in the domain name industry – Preferably in technical backend operations and internal customer-facing support roles at a registrar, registry, or DNS provider.
  • Strong DNS and database skills – Solid understanding of DNS concepts.
  • Experience with registry-registrar operations – Hands-on work with EPP, ccTLD configurations, and the technical complexities of domain management systems.
  • Root cause analysis and cross-functional collaboration – Proven track record of identifying systemic issues and partnering with engineering teams to implement permanent solutions.
  • Agile tools and methodology – Proficiency with JIRA, Confluence, Excel, and working within Agile/Scrum environments to document issues and drive resolution

You might also have...

  • Domain wholesale/reseller platform experience – Familiarity with wholesale domain platforms and reseller APIs, or experience integrating with registry systems and managing multi-vendor environments, along with SQL skills for backend data analysis.

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.

We also embrace our diverse culture and offer a range of Employee Resource Groups (Culture). Have a side hustle? No problem. We love entrepreneurs! Most importantly, come as you are and make your own way.
