Job description The successful candidate will join the Security Data Analytics team, working across PlayStation data assets and business groups. This team develops the data products, pipelines, dashboards, and reporting that help Information Security teams understand security posture, risk trends, control effectiveness, exposure, and remediation progress.  Our work is increasingly built on automation and AI-enabled analytics, and this role builds the data foundations that make that possible. This opening focuses on the backend of that work.  Reporting to the Director of Security Data Analytics, you will design and operate the data engineering foundations our analytics depend on: ingestion and transformation pipelines, Snowflake data models, automation, and the enrichment and AI-ready data patterns that turn raw security signals into trusted, analytics-ready data. Presentation-layer engineers own most visualization delivery, so your primary contribution is the reliability, structure, and performance of the data layer, including keeping it running day to day.

Desired qualifications - Advanced Snowflake features, such as tasks, streams, dynamic tables, and performance tuning. - Experience with dbt or a similar transformation and modeling framework. - Experience automating data workflows or building AI-ready or AI-enabled data products. - Working knowledge of security risk, vulnerability, asset, identity, cloud, or control data sets. - Familiarity with data quality, governance, or lineage concepts. - Experience with Domo or similar BI and visualization platforms, including dashboards. - Experience with web technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and third-party JavaScript visualizations. - Exposure to cybersecurity concepts such as vulnerabilities, controls, cloud security, identity, incident response, or risk.
