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 a Sr. Data Visualization Engineer, you will be the technical data visualization guide that gives shape to data and develops the code to ensure it communicates to the intended audience. You will primarily build interactive data visualizations to communicate business insights, drive strategic conversations and provide understanding at the VP+ level.

As part of our global Analytics Engineering team that works across the full PlayStation Network as the connective tissue for data between business, Product, Marketing, Engineering, Design and other teams. You will have a multidisciplinary feedback loop with your collaborators, so you can prototype and iterate.

Your role will be fast paced and multifaceted, while allowing space for thinking, iteration and continuous education/professional development. One day you could be working on a tool to visually explore PS5 customer interaction data, and then the next week you might be focused on visualizing the performance of ML driven personalization campaigns.

You will collaborate with other technical leads to build detailed, modular, and performant code that is aligned with our engineering guidelines and standards. And act as an ambassador for existing and innovative data visualization technologies. You will radiate your expertise by mentoring colleagues and giving presentations.
