2K MAKES EXCEPTIONAL GAMES.

Do you remember the first time you set foot on Pandora? When was the last time you dunked HARD on your friends just to watch them rage-quit? What does the phrase, “Would you kindly” mean to you?

BioShock, Borderlands, Civilization, Mafia, NBA 2K, WWE 2K, XCOM… and the list is growing. Since 2K began over 20 years ago, we’ve been creating games that we are proud of, and are excited to play ourselves. It’s because of the support of our fans that we are able to innovate, explore new worlds and new ways to tell stories. If we’re being 100 percent honest, a lot of us were fans before we started working here.

Some of you have been playing games with us for over 20 years—and we’re not stopping anytime soon. Why not come to 2K, where you can work on some of the best IP in the world?

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK HERE.

We constantly push ourselves creatively to do the best work of our careers. We want to work with like-minded game devs, artists, engineers, producers, marketing and communications professionals. We’re talking about people who can get the job done, minus the typical corporate BS and red tape. It’s a blend of the company’s NYC roots with a Northern California vibe. We’re direct, open, and you’ll probably meet some new best friends – along with their dogs – sitting nearby.

In short, it’s kinda awesome.

WHERE OUR HEADQUARTERS ARE LOCATED.

We are 30 minutes' drive north of San Francisco & just 30 minutes south of wine country.

2K’s headquarters - situated in two converted airplane hangars at what was once Hamilton Air Force Base – is an open environment in sunny Northern California. We’re a short drive from downtown Novato and San Rafael with restaurants, food trucks, farmers markets and great public schools. Walk out the door and explore Marin’s famous hiking and mountain biking trails as well as the gorgeous coastline.

Your weekend plans are set when you get here. You’re welcome.

SECURITY NOTICE

We have recently been made aware of increasing occurences of bad actors posing as company HR personnel to gain information from "potential candidates", in the form of job interviews and offers. These scams can be quite sophisticated and appear legitimate.

Please know that 2K never uses instant messaging apps to contact prospective employees or to conduct interviews.

If you believe you have been a victim of such a scam, you may fill out a complaint form at https://complaint.ic3.gov/ and https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ detailing as much as possible. We are taking these matters very seriously and apologize for any inconvenience.

I submitted my resume online, but I have not heard from anyone yet.

You are probably worried that no one actually reads the resume you sent us online. Well, I can tell you unequivocally, YES WE DO READ THEM. There are real humans here on the Recruiting team, and we read your submissions faithfully. But, as you can imagine, we receive a LOT of resumes. It is physically impossible to send a personal reply to each and every one of you. We really wish we could!

When will I hear back?

If we find you are one of the strongest matches for an open role, one of our recruiters will most certainly contact you. You can be 100% sure of that. If you have not heard from us yet…. chances are we are not ready to interview you right now, or perhaps you weren’t quite the best match. We are very fortunate to have a lot of top quality candidates which means you are up against some tough competition. You are always welcome to try us again in the future.

I really want to make video games as a career. What advice can you give to help me break into the industry?

Breaking into video games is not easy. We know, we went through it ourselves. While there are many paths to success in this business, in general we recommend you get a college degree. There are many excellent programs available to study game design, or software engineering and those are great choices. Most of our Programmers have degrees in computer science or software engineering. Most of our Artists have BFA’s or other art and animation degrees. Our Game Designers come to us with everything from game design, math & physics to creative writing or even architecture. Our Marketing team looks for education in communication fields like English, mass communications, business etc. Find your passion and pursue it. Stick with it. Work hard. Below are some handy links to some very smart people who have great advice for newbies. We hope this helps!

Where is Novato, CA and what is it like?

We are located just 24 miles north of San Francisco in sunny Marin County. We are roughly 30 minutes from Napa Valley wine country and 30 minutes from the city of San Francisco. Many of our employees live in Marin County or make the short commute from San Francisco. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful & interesting cities in the world. It offers vibrant nightlife, arts & culture scenes, world-class cuisine, and a one-of-a kind, eclectic, metropolitan cultural experience. Suburban Marin is known for its beautiful rolling hills and coastlines, hiking trails, mountain biking, great public schools, “foodie” restaurants, farmer’s markets and laidback vibe.
