Why PlayStation?
PlayStation isn’t just the Best Place to Play — it’s also the Best Place to Work. Today, we’re recognized as a global leader in entertainment producing The PlayStation family of products and services including PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®VR, PlayStation®Plus, acclaimed PlayStation software titles from PlayStation Studios, and more.
PlayStation also strives to create an inclusive environment that empowers employees and embraces diversity. We welcome and encourage everyone who has a passion and curiosity for innovation, technology, and play to explore our open positions and join our growing global team.
The PlayStation brand falls under Sony Interactive Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation.
As trailblazers, innovation is in SIE’s DNA. In the Platform Experience Group (PEG), we pursue it with intention, from multiple angles, with curious people empowered and activated through processes optimized for exploration, discovery, and invention. You’ll join a unique team that is chartered to explore new ways to transform and diversify our business into new areas with a focus on new customers needing new solutions, while remaining true to SIE’s central mission.
Our particular group is a collection of curious humans focused on delight, discovery, and iteration, and we are eager to onboard a Senior Engineer who is keen to join us in our pursuit. Our team believes that the best way to answer interesting questions is to try it in the real world. The effort of developing and iterating on an idea leads to unexpected delight, and innovation truly reveals itself in the execution.
The ideal candidate for this position is someone who is both inquisitive and excited to offer potential answers to those questions. We aren’t perfectionists, here. We prefer to try something out quickly to see if it feels fun, as opposed to ideating what we suspect might be a great idea. We are seeking a collaborator and contributor– someone who feels comfortable working in a group, brainstorming, and interacting frequently with the rest of the team. We like to stay lean and nimble, so folks who are able to self-organize and communicate well amongst an asynchronous team is a critical trait we look for in candidates.
We are a geographically distributed team based in the US and Canada. We firmly believe in life beyond work AND loving your work through healthy boundaries and habits. We make better, more interesting games and tech when work is sustainable and we have a wide and interesting set of experiences to inspire us.
