UX Designer, Accounts

Who is a PlayStation UX Designer?

You are equal parts prototyper and artist. You are a systems thinker with a keen eye for details, able to put concepts into practice through rapid prototyping, both high and low fidelity. You never take a step forward without testing, research, and capturing insights. And you are not afraid to play with the unknown!

You crave the opportunity to influence the experience of millions of players in the best game platform in the world. You are a collaborator who can work hand in hand with a cross-functional team of outstanding Art Directors, Designers, Engineers, and Business Partners to ideate, communicate and define our product experiences.

You will join our team in the heart of San Francisco’s SOMA district and will become a part of the global SONY design community. A group that celebrates the value of design, design thinking and design process. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a passionate team of designers focused on elevating the standard of design across the organization while and exploring concepts and technology.
