WME is developing the next generation of internal platforms that support one of the world’s leading entertainment companies.

We’re seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer who can design cloud infrastructure and strengthen system reliability. The software we build helps agents and teams manage relationships, deals, and opportunities across the global entertainment industry—so it’s essential that everything stays fast, highly available, and fully observable.

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of the infrastructure and reliability roadmap: provisioning cloud resources, maintaining Kubernetes deployments, improving CI/CD pipelines, and creating observability capabilities that help engineers ship confidently. We’re actively migrating from a legacy system, so you’ll work on both the new platform and the transition as we move module by module.

We’re building much of this engineering organization from the ground up. If you enjoy greenfield infrastructure work, have strong opinions on how platforms should be built, and want to influence how a team delivers software, this role is for you.

Example problems you may work on:
– Designing and maintaining the Azure infrastructure that runs our gRPC microservices and Next.js web app
– Building observability that provides visibility into service health, latency, and failure patterns across distributed systems
– Improving CI/CD pipelines to make deployments fast, safe, and fully automated
– Managing PostgreSQL at scale, including backups, failover, migrations, and performance
– Supporting a multi-service migration from a legacy .NET/MSSQL platform to a modern cloud-native stack
– Creating developer tooling that reduces friction and keeps the team moving

What you’ll do:
– Own and evolve Azure infrastructure using Terraform, including networking, compute, managed services, and secrets
– Manage Kubernetes clusters and Helm-based deployments for distributed microservices
– Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps) to ensure fast, reliable deployments
– Define and improve observability across services, including metrics, logging, alerting, and tracing
– Lead incident response by driving resolution, writing postmortems, and ensuring follow-through on reliability improvements
– Manage PostgreSQL infrastructure, including backups, replication, failover, and query performance
– Partner with engineers to improve local development environments and deployment workflows
– Apply security best practices, including secrets management, network policies, access controls, and vulnerability scanning

What we’re looking for:
– Strong DevOps or platform engineering experience, typically 5+ years
– Hands-on experience with Azure (AKS, Azure AD, managed databases, blob storage, networking)
– Terraform experience writing, structuring, and maintaining infrastructure as code at scale
– Kubernetes and Helm experience operating production workloads
– Experience building and running CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)
– PostgreSQL experience managing operations, migrations, and performance tuning
– Strong knowledge of observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent)
– Experience with incident response and using postmortems to drive reliability improvements
– Docker and container image management experience
– Familiarity with secrets management tools (Azure Key Vault, Vault, or equivalent)
– Comfort working in environments where systems and processes are still evolving

How we work:
– Deliver practical solutions to real problems
– Prefer simple, maintainable architectures
– Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and design
– Use modern cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure), Terraform, and containerized deployments
– Maintain automated CI/CD pipelines to keep releases fast and safe
– Use AI-assisted development throughout the engineering workflow
