Who We Are

* 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 As a Staff Platform Engineer at 2K, you are a visionary technical leader serving as the architect and champion of our internal developer ecosystems. Your primary mission is to steer the integration of advanced AI capabilities into our core infrastructure, driving the design and evolution of our next-generation Autonomous Agentic Development Platform (ADP). By championing a strict "platform-as-a-product" philosophy, you will ensure our ecosystem is continuously optimized for internal game and back-end service teams.

Through the creation of robust "golden paths," self-service infrastructure, and sophisticated automation, you will unlock developer velocity and eliminate operational friction. Operating with organization-wide influence, you will shape the long-term roadmap for platform engineering and mentor senior technical talent across 2K.

What You’Ll Do

AI Strategy & Execution: Own the strategic roadmap and oversee the architectural delivery of our developer portal, utilizing AI and LLM-backed agentic workflows to automate complex environment bootstrapping, context-aware troubleshooting, and intent-driven infrastructure provisioning. Technical Leadership: Accountable for driving the technical strategic roadmap within Platform Engineering. Serve as the primary architectural advisor to engineering tech leads, consulting on core design strategies to ensure their services are built to leverage cloud-native Kubernetes patterns and advanced AI platform features effectively.

Platform Product Ownership: Drive a "platform as a product" strategy, positioning the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) as the central hub of the developer experience. Partner with engineering leaders to deliver intuitive, frictionless, self-service capabilities that abstract away underlying infrastructure complexities and accelerate software delivery. DevEx Strategy: Collaborate with tech leads across different studios to identify systemic bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle, advising and steering teams on the design of automated solutions that elevate developer velocity, autonomy, and overall experience.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Provide high-level architectural direction and governance to internal tech leads as they build and maintain modular, reusable Terraform libraries, ensuring standardized environment provisioning across multi-cloud and on-prem data centers. Governance & Standards: Define organization-wide standards for container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and service discovery within the Kubernetes ecosystem, partnering with engineering leads to ensure adoption and operational consistency. Advanced Troubleshooting: Provide Tier 2 support for complex platform-level issues, conducting deep-dive root cause analysis and implementing architectural changes to prevent systemic recurrence.
