Amy Madden reacted on thisAmy Madden reacted on thisAre you a highly skilled senior engineer who loves building SDKs, exploring AI-powered workflows, and empowering other developers? We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be the senior technical voice across our cross-platform SDKs! Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid: Tues/Wed/Thurs in-office) Core Focus: Cross-platform SDKs, API Design, and AI-First Engineering The Role Our SDKs are the connective tissue between our backend services and nearly every game 2K publishes. As a Staff Engineer, you will own the architectural picture across our family of SDKs (Unreal, Unity, native C++, Go, JavaScript, and more). You will spend roughly half your time writing production code and the other half setting technical direction. This is also an AI-first role - we want you leveraging LLMs and AI harnesses daily to prototype, generate boilerplate, explore refactors, and build tooling that scales the team’s impact! What You Bring to the Table -SDK & API Expertise: 8+ years of software engineering experience, specifically designing and shipping SDKs, tools, or platform APIs that other developers depend on. -Language Flexibility: Fluency in C++ and the ability to easily pick up new languages (C#, Go, TypeScript, etc.). You don't need to be an expert in every language, but you need to hold the architectural vision across all of them. -AI Integration: Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) as a core part of your daily workflow. You know the difference between the model and the harness driving it, and you use AI to actively supplement your engineering output. -Proactive & Independent: You are a self-starter and an individual contributor who influences through expertise rather than authority. You mentor peers, set a high technical bar, and drive initiatives forward on your own. Nice-to-Haves (Huge Pluses!) -DevRel Experience: If you have prior Developer Relations (DevRel) experience, we highly encourage you to apply! -Hands-on experience with Unreal and/or Unity, including how engines integrate with external native libraries. -A strong interest or background in open-source technology and gaming tech. If you want the autonomy to set architectural direction, the freedom to stay deep in the code, and the leverage to redefine what a modern, AI-first SDK team looks like at scale – apply today!
