Are you on a mission to create games that bond players together into deeply invested communities? Would you like to work on something comedic with lighthearted and whimsical characters? Do you enjoy the challenge of solving complex, non-deterministic problems with simple, pragmatic solutions?

As a Senior Online Game Services Engineering Lead for teamLFG, you will design and build the core services that take our game from prototype to production, from gathering requirements to implementation and scaling. Most importantly, you will work with a fun, dedicated, and passionate cross-discipline team devoted to turning a creative dream into a new franchise at PlayStation.

We look for candidates who value joining a mission-focused team with a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, interests, and viewpoints.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Build and maintain production-quality backend game services
Directly manage and lead several engineers, providing support, technical mentorship, constructive feedback, and career development coaching
Collaborate daily with a cross-disciplinary team to design and build the services-driven features for the game (including sessions, matchmaking, and progression)
Effectively write clear, concise, and accurate technical documentation and email communication, with the ability to summarize complex topics and achieve alignment across multiple teams
Calmly deal with production incidents, participating in an on-call rotation after launch

REQUIRED SKILLS

Production experience designing and building backend game services
Ability to communicate with customers of different technical and non-technical backgrounds to help them navigate technology and achieve their goals
Experience leading (direct management, mentoring, or guiding) engineers
Ability to diagnose complex system failures using logging and metrics
Ability to write, debug, and maintain code in Rust, C++, or C#
Embrace a “we” culture in addition to being an outstanding collaborator and communicator

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

Experience with “games as a service” online game development
Working knowledge of Docker, Git, and Linux (including shell scripting and system configuration)

At SIE, we consider several factors when setting each role’s base pay range, including the competitive benchmarking data for the market and geographic location.

Please note that the base pay range may vary in line with our hybrid working policy and individual base pay will be determined based on job-related factors which may include knowledge, skills, experience, and location.

In addition, this role is eligible for SIE’s top-tier benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k), paid time off, wellness program and coveted employee discounts for Sony products. This role also may be eligible for a bonus package.

This is a flexible role that can be remote, with varying pay ranges based on geographic location. For example, if you are based out of Seattle, the estimated base pay range for this role is listed below.

$217,000—$325,000 USD

Please note, Sony Interactive Entertainment conducts background checks at the offer stage for all new employees (which may include criminal background checks for some roles) and will need to process personal information to support these checks.
