Our role at SIE is to create and nurture the experiences under the PlayStation brand, a name synonymous with entertainment excellence and creativity.

As a Senior Product Security Analyst within our Game Security Team, you play a critical role in safeguarding our community from bad actors, ensuring that the spirit of friendship remains the cornerstone of every world we create.

  • Prepare clear, detailed investigation reports where findings and recommendations are supported by specific data and evidence. 
  • Work with the team to prioritize, validate, and tune cheat detections. 
  • Collaborate as a valued team member, contributing to and supporting our collective pursuit of shared objectives 

REQUIRED Skills: 

  • Solid track record as a tech-savvy investigator, adept in uncovering information, tackling complex problems, and conducting thorough monitoring of adversaries 
  • Possess the versatility to effectively collaborate within a team setting and the initiative to autonomously drive projects to completion with minimal supervision 
  • Proven ability to craft and present conclusive, data-driven reports that drive action and targeted outcomes 
  • Proficient with querying relational databases (e.g., SQL), big data service (e.g., Redshift, Omni, Snowflake or Big Query) 
  • Familiarity with the AAA Games Cheating/Security landscape, and a passion for protecting player experiences. 

Nice-to-have Skills : 

  • Game security, anti-cheat, or similar investigative experience. 
  • Utilizing data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Omni) to interpret and present data insights 
  • Additional language proficiency (e.g., Chinese, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Spanish)
