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.\nYou'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.\nWe'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.\nExample Problems You Might Work On:\nDesigning and maintaining the Azure infrastructure that runs our gRPC microservices and Next.js web app\n\nBuilding observability that gives engineers visibility into service health, latency, and failure modes across a distributed system\n\nImproving CI/CD pipelines so deployments are fast, safe, and fully automated\n\nManaging PostgreSQL at scale - backups, failover, migrations, and performance\n\nSupporting a multi-service migration from a legacy .NET/MSSQL platform to a modern cloud-native stack\n\nBuilding developer tooling that reduces friction and keeps the team shipping\n\nWhat You'll Do:\nOwn and evolve Azure infrastructure using Terraform - networking, compute, managed services, and secrets\n\nManage Kubernetes clusters and Helm-based deployments for a distributed microservices platform\n\nBuild and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps) that keep deployments fast and safe\n\nDefine and improve observability: metrics, logging, alerting, and tracing across services\n\nLead incident response - drive resolution, write postmortems, and follow through on reliability improvements\n\nManage PostgreSQL infrastructure: backups, replication, failover, and query performance\n\nCollaborate closely with engineers to improve local development environments and deployment workflows\n\nEnforce security best practices: secrets management, network policies, access controls, and vulnerability scanning\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nSolid DevOps or platform engineering experience, typically 5+ years\n\nStrong hands-on experience with Azure (AKS, Azure AD, managed databases, blob storage, networking)\n\nTerraform experience - writing, organizing, and maintaining infrastructure as code at scale\n\nKubernetes and Helm experience managing production workloads\n\nExperience building and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)\n\nPostgreSQL experience - operational management, migrations, and performance tuning\n\nSolid understanding of observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent)\n\nExperience with incident response and driving reliability improvements from postmortems\n\nDocker and container image management experience\n\nFamiliarity with secrets management tools (Azure Key Vault, Vault, or equivalent)\n\nComfortable working in environments where systems and processes are still evolving\n\nHow We Build\nShip practical software that solves real problems\n\nFavor simple, maintainable architectures\n\nWork closely across engineering, product, and design\n\nUse modern cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure), Terraform, and containerized deployments\n\nMaintain automated CI/CD pipelines to keep shipping fast and safe\n\nLeverage AI-assisted development across the engineering workflow\n\nPer local requirements and in the interest of transparency, the rate shown below reflects the prevalent current hiring range for this position. Hiring pay rates are based on a number of factors, including location and may vary depending on job-related qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience. The company strives to provide locally competitive rewards packages, which include base rate along with, as applicable, short- and long-term incentives, growth and developmental opportunities, and robust benefits, such as health care, retirement, vacation and other paid time off, and additional offerings.\nHiring Rate Minimum:\n$131,250 annually (minimum will not fall below the applicable state/local minimum salary thresholds)Hiring Rate Maximum:\n$175,000 annuallyWME is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, or religion or belief.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4784,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Media & Entertainment","Content Creation","Digital Media"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T22:39:24Z"}],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.509,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":118,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:7","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":131250,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wme-senior-devops-engineer-applications","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wme-senior-devops-engineer-applications.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-29T04:24:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4169,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":831,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-30T00:00:00Z"}}}
