# Staff Software Engineer

WME is building the next generation of internal platforms that power one of the world's leading entertainment companies. The software we build helps agents and teams manage relationships, deals, and opportunities across the global entertainment industry. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to take ownership of a major area of our platform. This is a senior ownership role rather than a senior individual contributor role. You'll be accountable for whether your area is staffed well, moving at the speed the business needs, aligned with product, and making deliberate architectural choices. You'll be working through the team leads who run day-to-day execution rather than driving that execution yourself. Deep technical judgment still matters here. You can't set a technical bar you couldn't personally meet, and you'll make the calls that shape how these systems evolve. But the work happens a level up from the ticket queue, and the engineers who thrive in this role are the ones who find that shift energizing rather than limiting. We're building this engineering organization largely from the ground up, so we're looking for people who enjoy scrappy environments, are comfortable naviga
