Build the Cloud Foundation Behind Sony Interactive Entertainment
Every day, engineering teams across Sony Interactive Entertainment rely on the platforms we build to deliver secure, resilient, and scalable services. IT Cloud Foundations engineers the cloud capabilities that power enterprise business systems, developer platforms, and data services across the company.
Our customers are both engineers and the businesses they support. Every improvement we make to automation, reliability, security, and cloud infrastructure directly accelerates engineering teams while improving the reliability of critical business services.
The solutions we build become reusable capabilities that scale across the enterprise—not just for a single application or project.
Our mission isn't simply to manage cloud infrastructure—it's to engineer the secure, scalable cloud platform that enables Sony Interactive Entertainment to operate, innovate, and grow.
More Than Infrastructure
Some days you'll provision new AWS infrastructure, expand cloud networking, or enable new application environments. Other days you'll automate repetitive work, improve observability, or build reusable cloud capabilities. We believe every infrastructure request is an opportunity to improve the platform through automation, reusable engineering patterns, and thoughtful design.
The Challenges You'll Help Us Solve
- Reduce manual operational work through automation.
- Improve cloud governance without slowing engineering teams down.
- Deliver secure, resilient AWS infrastructure for business-critical services.
- Evolve Kubernetes, observability, and engineering platforms.
What You'll Work On
- AWS infrastructure, networking, IAM, compute, storage, and shared cloud services.
- Terraform, Python, Infrastructure as Code, and automation.
- Partnering with Networking, Security, Identity, Database, Platform, Data, and Application Engineering.
- Kubernetes (EKS), CI/CD, observability, governance, and operational excellence.
Technology You'll Work With
AWS • Terraform • Kubernetes/EKS • Helm • Python • GitHub Actions • GitOps • Lambda • IAM • Route 53 • Transit Gateway • CloudWatch • Datadog • Prometheus • Grafana • Cloud Custodian
How We Engineer

- Automate first whenever a pattern is repeatable.
- Build security and governance into every solution.
- Partner across engineering organizations to deliver better outcomes.
- Continuously improve the platform through practical, measurable engineering.
- Use AI where it meaningfully improves engineering outcomes.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for engineers who enjoy solving problems, are curious about how things work, and continually look for better ways to deliver secure, reliable cloud infrastructure. If you see automation opportunities where others see repetitive work and enjoy partnering across engineering teams, you'll fit right in.
