Senior Software Engineer

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 Software Engineer who enjoys solving hard problems, writing clean and maintainable code, and building systems that become foundational to how an organization operates. The software we build helps agents and teams manage relationships, deals, and opportunities across the global entertainment industry.

You'll partner closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to build thoughtful, scalable systems that support critical business workflows. You'll take ownership of features and services end-to-end, contribute to architectural decisions, and help raise the technical bar across the team.

We're also investing heavily in AI-assisted development, and engineers on this team actively use modern AI tools and workflows to improve development velocity and product quality. We're building this engineering organization largely from the ground up, so we're looking for engineers who enjoy scrappy environments, are comfortable navigating ambiguity, and want to help shape how a team operates.


Example Problems You Might Work On
  • Building features that capture and connect relationships across the entertainment industry

  • Implementing modern CRM workflows that replace fragmented legacy tools and spreadsheets

  • Developing AI-powered features that surface insights from operational data

  • Building and maintaining APIs and services that support complex deal and workflow management

  • Migrating legacy applications into modern web-based systems


What You'll Do
  • Design and build scalable web applications and APIs using React, TypeScript, and Next.js

  • Develop and maintain Node.js backend with REST, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs

  • Contribute to architectural decisions across frontend and backend systems

  • Partner closely with product managers and designers to deliver thoughtful solutions

  • Translate operational needs into practical technical solutions

  • Participate in and improve CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling

  • Support and mentor new career engineers on the team


What We're Looking For
  • Solid software engineering experience, typically 5+ years

  • Strong full-stack development experience building modern web applications

  • Proficiency in React, TypeScript, and Next.js

  • Backend experience with Node.js, building services and APIs

  • Experience designing and working with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL

  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure preferred)

  • Familiarity with containerized workloads using Docker (Kubernetes a plus)

  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code concepts; experience with Terraform a plus

  • Comfort working with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)

  • Strong product instincts and collaborative mindset

  • 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


AI-First Engineering

AI tools are part of our everyday engineering workflow. We encourage engineers to use modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and system design. We're also actively exploring how AI can enhance the systems we build.
