Description
Who We Are 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. But what truly powers 2K is our people. We believe the best ideas come from teams that feel empowered, supported, and inspired. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace where people are encouraged to come as they are and do their best work. The Team 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. Post-mortems here focus on systems, not people. Automation is the default answer to repetitive work. The infrastructure keeps millions of players connected, and the team takes that seriously! The Role 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. What You'll Do Platform & Infrastructure Design, build, and operate scalable multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, Pulumi, and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux). Own Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) end-to-end cluster lifecycle, multi-tenancy, networking (Istio, Cilium), and autoscaling. Push progressive delivery patterns (blue/green, canary) across game service deployments. Observability & Reliability Build and run the full observability stack: Prometheus + Grafana + Datadog. 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. Drive incident response and post-mortems with a focus on systemic fixes and real follow-through. Automation, Security & Developer Experience Eliminate toil through self-service provisioning, automated remediation, and intelligent scaling. Harden CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD). Embed security at the platform layer through secrets management (PasswordState, 1Password, and AWS Secrets Manager) and policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper). Leadership Promote SRE practices across 2K studios through reliability reviews, runbooks, and embedded collaboration. Shape architectural decisions and author engineering RFCs that move the platform forward. Required Qualifications Experience: 5+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or equivalent infrastructure work at production scale. Kubernetes: Deep experience in cloud environments (EKS or GKE preferred), including networking, storage, and multi-cluster patterns. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong proficiency with Terraform and/or Pulumi; hands-on with Helm, Terragrunt, and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD or GitHub Actions). Environments: Experience with m
