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.

By building robust "paved paths," self-service infrastructure, and sophisticated automation, the Staff Platform Engineer enables our development teams to deploy and scale services with maximum velocity and minimal friction. This role operates at a high level of technical influence, shaping the long-term roadmap for platform engineering and mentoring senior talent across the organization.

Responsibilities & Requirements
Duties
- Platform Product Ownership: Lead the design, development, and delivery of scalable Kubernetes infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration into the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to provide Game Service Developers with intuitive, self-service infrastructure capabilities.
- AI Strategy & Execution: Utilize AI and LLM-backed agentic workflows to automate environment bootstrapping, infrastructure provisioning, security vulnerabilities, and context-aware troubleshooting.
- Developer Experience (DevEx) Strategy: Identify bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle and build automated solutions to improve developer velocity and autonomy.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect and maintain modular, reusable IaC libraries (e.g., Terraform) to standardize environment provisioning across multi-cloud and terrestrial data centers.
- Standardization & Governance: Define and implement organization-wide standards for container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and service discovery within the Kubernetes ecosystem.
- Advanced Troubleshooting: Provide Tier 3 support for complex platform-level issues, conducting deep-dive root cause analysis and implementing architectural changes to prevent systemic recurrence.
- Technical Leadership: Serve as a primary consultant to Product Engineering teams, ensuring their services are architected to leverage the platform and Kubernetes patterns effectively.
- On-Call Leadership: Participate in and lead the escalation path for the platform engineering on-call rotation, ensuring platform availability for internal customers.
- Behavioral: Strong "customer-first" mindset with a focus on internal developer needs; ability to influence without authority across different studios and time zones.
- Functional / Technical: Expert-level mastery of Kubernetes architecture, cloud-native ecosystems, and the "Platform-as-a-Product" philosophy.
- Strategic Influence: Ability to translate long-term business goals into technical roadmaps for the platform team.
- Educational Background: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- Experience: 10+ years of experience in Infrastructure, DevOps, or Platform Engineering, with at least 4+ years specifically focused on building internal developer platforms or Kubernetes-based tooling.
- Cloud Expertise: Deep expert-level experience with AWS and/or GCP, specifically managing highly elastic, mission-critical production workloads.
- Orchestration & Containers: Expert knowledge of Kubernetes internals (operators, controllers, CRDs) and container security at scale.
- AI & Agentic Engineering Skills: Proven foundational knowledge or hands-on experience incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents into automated engineering workflows, APIs, or platform tools.
- Programming: Advanced proficiency in Go, Python, or Java, with a focus on building automation tools, Kubernetes operators, and APIs.
- CI/CD & Tooling: Mastery of Git, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions, and configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet) alongside Terraform.
- Architecture: Proven ability to architect multi-region, high-availability systems that support global user bases.
- Availability: Willingness and ability to participate in a 24/7 rotational on-call schedule to support platform stability.
- Prior experience in the gaming industry, specifically supporting large-scale multiplayer backend services.
- Experience contributing to open-source projects related to platform engineering (e.g., Backstage, Crossplane).
- Deep understanding of networking protocols and global traffic management.
