Staff Software Engineer

applies via careers.godaddy

Verdict

GoDaddy is a legitimate, publicly traded technology company with a reachable careers portal and confirmed business match. The salary range is plausible for a senior software engineering role at a major tech employer. The posting is straightforward with a direct online application link and no suspicious payment or ID-upfront demands. Minor uncertainty around the British Columbia location claim (HQ is Arizona, though a Canadian subsidiary exists) introduces slight caution, but this is typical for multinational companies with distributed operations.
