WME (William Morris Endeavor)
Multiple Senior SWE & DevOps | Remote
hn · Remote
Jose is a strong founding engineer with proven full-stack and infrastructure expertise, high autonomy experience, and the ability to ship systems end-to-end—all valuable for building internal platforms at WME. However, he lacks specific domain experience in entertainment/talent management systems and has primarily worked in AI, fintech, and emergency response rather than enterprise SaaS platforms. His background is more early-stage startup (0→1) than scaling established internal tools for large enterprises, which represents a meaningful gap for this role.
Hook: Your founding engineer experience building production systems under pressure and owning full-stack decisions aligns perfectly with WME's need for high-autonomy builders defining modern platform development.
Missing: Entertainment/media domain knowledge, Large-scale enterprise SaaS platform experience, Stakeholder management across non-technical business teams, Existing experience with WME-like organizational complexity
