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!

What we Need

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 — and 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), 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

What Will Make You a Great Fit

• 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
• Strong IaC proficiency with Terraform and/or Pulumi; hands-on with Helm, Terragrunt, and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD or GitHub Actions)
• Modern and Legacy Tech: AWS, GCP, VMware, and Bare metal servers
• Server Configuration using Ansible, Puppet, and AWS Systems Manager
• Observability stack experience: Datadog, Prometheus + Grafana, and OpenTelemetry,
• 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
• Incident response and post-mortem leadership with a track record of systemic follow-through

Preferred Qualifications

• Live-service game or large-scale consumer internet experience at millions of concurrent users
• Service mesh depth (Istio, Cilium) and advanced Kubernetes networking
• FinOps and managing resources at cloud scale
• Experience with AI and Agentic Development
• Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, CKA/CKS, or equivalent)
• Experience mentoring SREs or leading reliability working groups
