At 2K, we create some of the most iconic and culture-shaping video games in entertainment, including NBA® 2K, one of the top-selling franchises in the world, and legendary titles like BioShock®, Borderlands®, Mafia, Sid Meier’s Civilization®, and XCOM®, as well as fan favorites WWE® 2K, TopSpin®, and PGA TOUR® 2K. We build unforgettable experiences by pushing the boundaries of creativity, authenticity and innovation across every genre.

Our portfolio is brought to life by some of the most influential game development studios in the world.

Visual

Concepts, Firaxis Games, Hangar 13, Cat Daddy Games, 31st Union, Cloud Chamber, Gearbox, HB Studios, and 2K SportsLab create world-class experiences across platforms.

The 2K SRE team owns the infrastructure behind every player connection — All 2K game services, account platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and developer tooling spanning AWS, GCP, and on-premises data centers across multiple global regions. Global launch windows and live-service events push systems to their limits, and this team is expected to hold the line.

Automation is the default answer to repetitive work. The Senior SRE at 2K is a hands-on technical leader — shaping production infrastructure across multiple clouds and regions while partnering with network engineers, systems architects, and game studio developers.

This is an ownership role: driving technical direction, influencing reliability from architecture review through production operation, and closing the gap between what engineering ships and what players experience.

Own Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) end-to-end — cluster lifecycle,



multi-tenancy, networking (Istio, Cilium), and autoscaling — and push progressive delivery patterns (blue/green, canary) across game service deployments.

Define SLI/SLO/error budget policies and build alerting that cuts through the noise Lead chaos engineering exercises to surface failure modes before players encounter them Automation, Security & Developer Experience

Harden CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD) . Embed security at the platform layer through secrets management (PasswordState, 1Password, and AWS Secrets Manager), policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper).

Shape architectural decisions and author engineering RFCs that move the platform forward 5+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or equivalent infrastructure work at production scale Deep Kubernetes experience in cloud environments (EKS or GKE preferred) — networking, storage, multi-cluster patterns Modern and Legacy Tech: AWS, GCP, VMware, and Bare metal servers Server Configuration using Ansible, Puppet, and AWS Systems Manager SLI/SLO/error budget fluency — including how to operationalize them inside engineering teams Production-quality code in Go, Python, or TypeScript: tools, automation, and internal libraries Linux internals, TCP/IP networking,



DNS, and TLS — proven enough to debug at the system level Live-service game or large-scale consumer internet experience at millions of concurrent users Service mesh depth (Istio, Cilium) and advanced Kubernetes networking Experience with AI and Agentic Development Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, CKA/CKS, or equivalent) Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for employees in regular roles may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, provided that temporary or intern roles will not be eligible for many of these payments or advantages. If hired the company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation or benefit program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, company or individual department/team performance, and market factors.

As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to ensuring that qualified individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform their essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please note that 2K Games and its studios never uses instant messaging apps or personal email accounts to contact prospective employees or conduct interviews and when emailing, only use 2K.com accounts.
