Senior DevOps Engineer, Applications
WME
Headquarters: Remote-CA
URL: http://wmeagency.com
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 (Git
