Job 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.
What We Need
2K Security is looking for a motivated Lead Security Analyst for high-profile incidents, directing the team and effectively communicating with cross-team stakeholders while executing and improving the 2K Incident Response Plan. This individual will train Security Analysts on advanced incident response techniques, contribute to maturing a global Security program and help bring it to life.
When the Lead Security Analyst is not actively involved in an incident, the position will be responsible for threat hunting in our online retail environments and proactively managing IP and game leaks. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of cybersecurity, cloud security, and SIEM technologies to implement incident response workflows.
What You'll Do
  • Lead Investigations: Lead technical analysis and resolution of security-related incidents, including malware analysis, packet-level analysis, and system-level forensic analysis to reconstruct what may have transpired on a system.
  • Threat Hunting: Conduct proactive threat hunting across our gaming and retail environments to identify adversary activity that may evade traditional security controls.
  • Coordination & Communication: Coordinate incident response efforts and provide timely updates on incident status with internal stakeholders.
  • Post-Incident Improvement: Conduct post-incident reviews and root cause analyses to identify areas for improvement.
  • Leak Monitoring Program: Support and evolve our capabilities to detect unauthorized distribution of internal builds and confidential game information.
  • Mentorship: Act as an escalation point for level I and II Analysts.
What Will Make You A Great Fit
  • Three to five years of proven experience in Incident Response, Forensics, or Security Automation and Response.
  • Expert in cyber incident response investigations, including containment, eradication, and remediation activities.
  • Experience with the drafting post-incident reports to senior leadership to convey impact, origin, root cause, and remediation.
  • Familiarity with the video game industry and the unique security challenges surrounding game development, distribution, and live services.
  • Scripting experience (Python, PowerShell, Bash) automating security operations and incident response processes.
  • Familiarity with common cyber security frameworks such as Mitre ATT&CK, SANS Top 20, Cyber Kill Chain, and OWASP Top 10.
  • Advanced Industry security certifications are preferred, such as GIAC Certified Forensic Examiner (GCFE), GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA), GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH), GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA), or similar.
  • Travel occasionally.

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 contact us if you need reasonable accommodation.
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.
