# Senior Director, Online Services at 2K

2K's 31st Union is hiring a Senior Director of Online Services to lead the technology backbone of a major free-to-play action game. You'll oversee frontend engineering while managing Backend and Build Engineering teams, reporting to the Head of Technology. Your mission is to establish the technical strategy for live operations, partner with product teams to translate player engagement strategies into working systems, and ensure the game runs reliably at scale across platforms.

The role spans multiple critical domains: owning release cadence and hotfix orchestration, managing launch readiness through capacity testing and incident response, directing CI/CD pipelines, and building out experimentation and telemetry frameworks. You'll also oversee player-facing systems like authentication, matchmaking, social features, commerce, and safety tools. This is a hands-on leadership position that requires balancing architectural vision with day-to-day operational excellence.

You'll need at least 10 years as an engineer with 5+ years leading live services on AAA cross-platform games, plus 2+ years specifically managing frontend systems. Deep fluency with Unreal Engine (particularly Online Subsystem), distributed backend architecture, and proven experience shipping and operating live games are essential. The position is based in San Mateo, California. Experience with UE5, free-to-play monetization, and player safety systems are valuable additions to your background.

Location: San Mateo, California, United States
