# Sr Applied Scientist at 2K

2K's Applied AI Team is seeking a senior machine learning scientist to develop algorithmic solutions that shape the core experience of NBA 2K. You'll design and deploy models powering matchmaking, skill rating systems, player personalization, engagement optimization, and fraud detection. The work involves translating complex product challenges into machine learning problems, building representation learning models from sequential gameplay data, and collaborating with engineers and product teams to integrate solutions into live game systems.

This role is ideal for someone with a master's or PhD in a quantitative discipline and proven experience shipping ML models to production. You should have strong foundations in deep learning, representation learning, and modern neural architectures like transformers or RNNs. Proficiency in Python, SQL, and frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow is essential, along with the ability to move fluidly between research exploration and practical implementation while maintaining scientific rigor.

The position is based in Dublin, Ireland. Prior experience with recommendation or ranking systems, cloud platforms, and sports analytics would be advantageous, though not required.
