Who We Are

Founded in 2023, 2K Sports Lab is the newest stand alone studio at 2K looking to push game development boundaries to bring 2K's next groundbreaking sports franchise to life. We're building a world-class team at our new Vancouver, BC location where our goal is to deliver an exceptional experience through bold ideas, technical excellence, and creative collaboration. We're seeking passionate and driven professionals across all areas of game development to help shape this ambitious vision. If you're interested in tackling unique challenges and think you have what it takes to level up our team, we encourage you to apply

What We Need

We are seeking a highly qualified and passionate Senior Software Engineer to drive the development of our next-generation, large-scale actor simulation technology at 2K Sports Lab. This is a critical role responsible for building the foundational systems that bring dense, believable, and performant worlds to life, specifically focusing on crowd, NPC, and pedestrian systems. The ideal candidate possesses deep, low-level C++ expertise and significant experience working within the Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) environment.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and Implement highly performant, scalable simulation systems (Crowd, NPC) that support thousands of concurrent, active agents in the game world.
  • Develop and maintain our character pipeline and runtime
  • Build Level of Detail (LOD) systems and culling techniques to gracefully handle the computational load of distant or non-critical actors without compromising visual fidelity.
  • Collaborate with AI and Design teams to translate high-level design goals into robust, maintainable, and fun player-facing features.

What Will Make You A Great Fit

  • 5+ years of professional game development or relevant simulation engineering experience.
  • Exceptional command of modern C++ (C++17/20) and a deep understanding of memory management, performance profiling, and optimization on modern hardware.
  • In-depth, hands-on experience and familiarity with the Unreal Engine 4/5  source code.
  • Proven track record building and scaling Agent Behavior systems, preferably using UE5's MassEntity/Smart Objects or equivalent proprietary technology.
  • Expertise in Animation Pipeline Engineering, including knowledge of IK, motion warping, and efficient data structures for skeletal mesh updates.

Beneficial Qualifications

  • Experience with machine learning or procedural generation techniques for agent behavior or world population.
  • Previous experience shipping a AAA title developed on Unreal Engine.
