Why Sony Interactive Entertainment?

  • Integrate our data collection platform and our BI tools to enable studio self-service.
  • Work closely with the Devops team, our analytics engineers, and stakeholders across the studio business group.
  • Focus on improving data quality, lineage and observability.
  • Support our existing tooling, improving quality and documentation.
  • Be a technical expert and share than knowledge with your colleagues.

What we’re looking for:

  • You have experience building and owning Data Pipelines for high-throughput streaming and batch data.
  • You are adept at writing code in Go or write Python with a willingness to learn Go.
  • You are experienced in building robust, scalable, and resilient services.
  • You can demonstrate measurable impact that you have made in your current and previous roles.
  • You enjoy solving data problems, and can take responsibility for quality, investigations and remediation.
  • Experience with cloud data services. We use AWS data and analytics services, such as Amazon S3, Redshift, Kinesis, Data Firehose, Athena and AWS Glue.

Nice to have:

  • Has made use of AI during the development cycle, including use of Claude Code, Codex or other harnesses.
  • Experience with near real-time data processing, querying and visualisation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
