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.

  • 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)
