About this Senior DevOps Engineer, Applications role at WME

WME · Remote · Remote-CA

WME is building the next generation of internal platforms that power one of the world's leading entertainment companies.

We're looking for a Senior Dev Ops Engineer who is equally comfortable designing cloud infrastructure and improving system reliability. The software we build helps agents and teams manage relationships, deals, and opportunities across the global entertainment industry — and keeping it fast, available, and observable is critical work.

You'll own the infrastructure and reliability story end-to-end: provisioning cloud resources, maintaining Kubernetes deployments, improving CI/CD pipelines, and building the observability that lets engineers move fast with confidence. We're in an active migration from a legacy system, so you'll be operating both the new platform and supporting the transition as we move module by module.

We're building this engineering organization largely from the ground up. If you like greenfield infrastructure work, have opinions about how platforms should be built, and want to shape how a team ships software, this is the role.

Example Problems You Might Work On:

  • Designing and maintaining the Azure infrastructure that runs our gRPC microservices and Next.js web app

  • Building observability that gives engineers visibility into service health, latency, and failure modes across a distributed system

  • Improving CI/CD pipelines so deployments are fast, safe, and fully automated

  • Managing PostgreSQL at scale — backups, failover, migrations, and performance

  • Supporting a multi-service migration from a legacy .NET/MSSQL platform to a modern cloud-native stack

  • Building developer tooling that reduces friction and keeps the team shipping

What You'll Do:

  • Own and evolve Azure infrastructure using Terraform — networking, compute, managed services, and secrets

  • Manage Kubernetes clusters and Helm-based deployments for a distributed microservices platform

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps) that keep deployments fast and safe

  • Define and improve observability: metrics, logging, alerting, and tracing across services

  • Lead incident response — drive resolution, write postmortems, and follow through on reliability improvements

  • Manage PostgreSQL infrastructure: backups, replication, failover, and query performance

  • Collaborate closely with engineers to improve local development environments and deployment workflows

  • Enforce security best practices: secrets management, network policies, access controls, and vulnerability scanning

What We're Looking For

  • Solid DevOps or platform engineering experience, typically 5+ years

  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure (AKS, Azure AD, managed databases, blob storage, networking)

  • Terraform experience — writing, organizing, and maintaining infrastructure as code at scale

  • Kubernetes and Helm experience managing production workloads

  • Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)

  • PostgreSQL experience — operational management, migrations, and performance tuning

  • Solid understanding of observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent)

  • Experience with incident response and driving reliability improvements from postmortems

  • Docker and container image management experience

  • Familiarity with secrets management tools (Azure Key Vault, Vault, or equivalent)

  • Comfortable working in environments where systems and processes are still evolving

How We Build

  • Ship practical software that solves real problems

  • Favor simple, maintainable architectures

  • Work closely across engineering, product, and design

  • Use modern cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure), Terraform, and containerized deployments

  • Maintain automated CI/CD pipelines to keep shipping fast and safe

  • Leverage AI-assisted development across the engineering workflow
