Senior DevOps Engineer, Applications

WME Group is building the next generation of internal platforms for one of the world's leading entertainment companies. They are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer who will design cloud infrastructure, improve system reliability, and manage the transition from a legacy system to a modern cloud-native stack.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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
