Want to Work for SOE? Job Listings of the Week. March 7, 2007
Posted by Kendricke in Uncategorized.add a comment
Want to work for Sony Online Entertaiment? Here’s the San Diego jobs I’ve managed to parse from Monster.com’s listings:
- Senior Oracle DBA- Contract
- Senior Oracle Database Developer
- Software QA Engineer- TEMP
- Customer Service - Game Master
- Senior UNIX/Linux Systems Administrator
- Senior Java Developer- PS3
I was checking the listings actually to try to find out “sekret sauce” type inf0z on whether or not SOE had lost/gained any new developers, etc. Rumors have been rife lately on the subject, and I’m always on the lookout for more solid information.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll post this sort of list weekly from now on just to keep everyone up to date on who or what SOE’s looking for. In the meantime, I’ve put up links to both the San Diego and Seattle studio job listings in my links to the right.
Sony Unveils “Home”; Kotaku Vindicated March 7, 2007

“Sony Corp. will unveil Wednesday “Home,” an online network for its new PlayStation 3, which supports streaming video and advertising and will host virtual characters in common areas and private rooms.”
What’s astounding to me is that Kotaku was dead on when they posted rumors of this announcement last week. In fact, it would certainly seem that Sony knew Kotaku was dead on when they threatened to pull all contact from Kotaku if they ran the story. Sure, Sony eventually made nice with Kotaku, but it still leaves a lot of concerns in my mind regarding the whole drama.
After all that tempesting in teapots, it would seem that all Kotaku did was to post a rumor about a possible release…a rumor that ended up being pretty close to right on the money.
