About the Role
The Senior SRE at 2K is a hands-on technical leader shaping production infrastructure across multiple clouds and regions. This role involves partnering with network engineers, systems architects, and game studio developers to drive technical direction, influence reliability from architecture review through production operation, and bridge the gap between engineering and player experience.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, Pulumi, and GitOps workflows.
- Own Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) end-to-end cluster lifecycle, multi-tenancy, networking, and autoscaling.
- Implement progressive delivery patterns (blue/green, canary) across game service deployments.
- Build and operate the full observability stack: Prometheus + Grafana + Datadog.
- Define SLI/SLO/error budget policies and build effective alerting.
- Lead chaos engineering exercises to identify potential failure modes.
- Drive incident response and post-mortems with a focus on systemic fixes.
- Eliminate toil through self-service provisioning, automated remediation, and intelligent scaling.
- Harden CI/CD pipelines.
- Embed security at the platform layer through secrets management and policy-as-code.
- Promote SRE practices across 2K studios through reliability reviews, runbooks, and collaboration.
- Shape architectural decisions and author engineering RFCs.
Requirements
- 5+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or equivalent infrastructure work at production scale.
- Deep experience in cloud Kubernetes environments (EKS or GKE preferred), including networking, storage, and multi-cluster patterns.
- Strong proficiency with Terraform and/or Pulumi; hands-on with Helm, Terragrunt, and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD or GitHub Actions).
- Experience with modern and legacy tech, including AWS, GCP, VMware, and Bare metal servers.
- Server configuration using Ansible, Puppet, and AWS Systems Manager.
- Experience with Datadog, Prometheus + Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; fluency in operationalizing SLI/SLO/error budgets.
- Production-quality code in Go, Python, or TypeScript for tools, automation, and internal libraries.
- Solid understanding of Linux internals, TCP/IP networking, DNS, and TLS.
- Incident response and post-mortem leadership with a track record of systemic follow-through.
