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
