# Staff Software Engineer at 2K

2K is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to serve as the technical leader for its cross-platform SDK ecosystem, which reaches into nearly every game the company publishes. You'll own architectural decisions across SDKs supporting Unreal, Unity, native C++, Go, JavaScript, and other platforms, ensuring consistency in API design, versioning, performance, and reliability. This individual contributor role splits time between hands-on coding and strategic technical direction—setting standards, reviewing designs, and unblocking teammates.

The position is explicitly AI-first. You'll integrate large language models and AI tools into your daily workflow to prototype APIs, generate cross-language bindings, draft technical proposals, and build automation that multiplies the team's output. You'll collaborate closely with engineering managers on hiring and strategy while working across 2K's portfolio of renowned studios including Visual Concepts, Firaxis Games, and Gearbox.

This role is based in Austin, Texas and suits senior engineers comfortable leading through influence rather than direct authority—someone who can champion architectural vision while lifting up the engineers around them through clear communication and empathy. You'll be expected to stay deeply hands-on with production code while simultaneously raising the technical bar across a complex, multi-language portfolio.
