Through strong communication and reliable delivery, you will inspire trust and confidence in 2K Technology’s ability to solve on behalf of its customers. You will advocate proactively on behalf of your customers, your teams, and the rest of our central technology organization.
• Form productive, positive partnerships with leaders across our Infrastructure organization, including SRE and Technical Operations. Through these relationships, you will execute on shared opportunities to extend our capabilities, improve operational discipline, and advance our central tech strategy.
• Work closely with peers in engineering and program management to plan effectively, validate assumptions, and deliver high-quality outcomes for customers. You will contribute to our shared understanding of what good looks like across multiple dimensions of product and technical quality.
