About the role
2K Games, headquartered in Novato, California, is seeking a backend engineer to design and build robust microservices for our live game services. You will own the maintenance of key service domains, optimize infrastructure, and collaborate with product managers, designers, and game teams to translate complex requirements into scalable technical deliverables. The role emphasizes distributed systems, CI/CD, security, and observability, with knowledge of Go or Java, HTTP/gRPC, and cloud platforms
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
