About the Role
The 2K SRE team owns the infrastructure for all 2K game services, account platforms, CI/CD pipelines, databases, and developer tooling across AWS and on-premises data centers. This role involves shaping production infrastructure, improving reliability, and bridging the gap between engineering and player experience.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable hybrid infrastructure across AWS and VMware vSphere using Terraform and Puppet.
- Manage the full lifecycle of EC2 fleets and VMware clusters, including capacity planning, patching, image pipelines, and autoscaling.
- Architect secure and resilient AWS networking solutions.
- Operate and automate F5 BIG-IP load balancers and firewalls.
- Implement blue/green and canary releases for game service deployments.
- Operate MySQL and PostgreSQL at production scale, managing replication, failover, backup, and disaster recovery.
- Lead major-version upgrades, schema migration tooling, and zero-downtime maintenance for databases.
- Tune query performance and resource sizing for high-concurrency game workloads.
- Build and run the full observability stack, including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry.
- Define SLI/SLO/error budget policies and build effective alerting.
- Lead chaos engineering and failover exercises to identify 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.
- Manage server configuration at scale with Puppet, Ansible, and AWS Systems Manager.
- Automate F5 configuration using AS3, iControl REST, and Terraform.
- Harden CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
- Build security into the platform layer through secrets management, IAM least privilege, and policy-as-code.
- Promote SRE practices across 2K studios through reliability reviews, runbooks, and collaboration.
- Shape architectural decisions and write engineering RFCs.
Requirements
- 5+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, or equivalent infrastructure work at production scale.
- Deep AWS experience: EC2, VPC networking, IAM, RDS/Aurora, S3, Route 53, ELB, and CloudWatch.
- Strong VMware vSphere experience: ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, and/or NSX, plus bare-metal server operations.
- Hands-on experience with F5 BIG-IP load balancers and firewalls (LTM, AFM, DNS/GTM), including iRules, SSL/TLS offload, and HA pairs.
- Production experience running MySQL and PostgreSQL, including replication, HA/failover, backup and restore, upgrades, and performance tuning.
- Strong IaC skills with Terraform; hands-on with Packer.
- Deep Puppet experience (modules, Hiera, r10k/Code Manager, PuppetDB), plus Ansible and AWS Systems Manager.
- Experience with observability tools: Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
- Fluency with SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, including practical application within engineering teams.
- Production-quality code in Go, Python, or TypeScript for tools, automation, and internal libraries.
- Knowledge of Linux internals, TCP/IP networking, DNS, and TLS sufficient for system-level debugging.
- Incident response and post-mortem leadership with a track record of systemic follow-through.
