# Lead UI Engineer at 2K

As a Lead UI Engineer at 2K's San Mateo studio, you'll drive the technical vision for user interface systems on a AAA multiplayer project while mentoring a team of UI engineers. Your responsibilities span designing scalable, accessible UI architectures using Unreal Engine 5's modern frameworks (CommonUI, MVVM, Enhanced Input), managing performance and memory across high-framerate competitive play, and ensuring global deployment capabilities including localization and right-to-left language support. You'll collaborate across engineering, design, and production teams to architect data-driven systems that enable live server-side configuration without client patches, handle asynchronous backend integration, and meet first-party certification requirements for console platforms.

This role suits experienced game programmers with at least seven years of professional experience and two shipped AAA titles in senior UI positions. You'll need deep expertise in Unreal's UI ecosystem, expert-level C++ skills particularly around async patterns and memory management, and direct experience resolving console certification issues on PlayStation or Xbox. Background in live-service or free-to-play games, plus multiplayer shooters or action RPGs, would strengthen your candidacy.

Full-time position in San Mateo, California offering $133,900–$198,160 base salary plus potential bonus, equity awards, comprehensive health benefits, 14 paid holidays, and 15–25 days vacation annually.

Location: San Mateo, California, United States
