Join our Team:
The Design Foundations team designs and manages GoDaddy's shared Design System to aid in our mission of helping small business customers start, grow, and run their ventures. The Design Foundations team is redefining the future of GoDaddy’s Design Language and partnering with product teams across the company to build compelling experiences for all our customers. Our team is highly collaborative, and a great place to develop your skills and grow your career.
We are looking for a strong Sr Frontend Engineer to focus primarily on front-end development as well as help with UX design projects. You will join our team to deliver a best-in-class experience to GoDaddy designers, engineers, and customers. If you have the passion, enthusiasm, and ability to create compelling web interactions for customers, this is the team for you.

This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Colorado, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.
What you'll get to do...
As a Sr Frontend Engineer on the Design Foundations team, you will participate in the design and development of our Design System, which hundreds of designers and engineers across GoDaddy's product teams use every day. You will be working with and contributing to our React component library. You will be helping Designers on product design projects by both designing experiences and building out prototypes. You will also partner with product teams from around the company to realize the creation of new component designs while maintaining our focus on quality and performance.
We’re also looking for someone who will lead the creation of a UX Engineering center of excellence. By bringing together the other UX Engineers working within the Design community, you will enable this discipline to find better ways of working and, in turn, having impact on UX Engineers career growth and company impact.
