Press Start: Careers at PlayStation
PlayStation recruiters on campus, but read the fine print on work authorization first.
211 S 9th St, San Jose, CA 95112
What this event is
PlayStation recruiters cover employee career paths, internship opportunities and the recruiting process for early-career technical and creative roles. The session targets sophomores through seniors in CS, software engineering, computer engineering, data science and related majors. The posting states PlayStation cannot hire candidates under OPT/CPT temporary work authorization.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
SJSU CS, software or data students with US work authorization who want a path into a major gaming and platform engineering org.
I am listing this with a clear warning: the event page says PlayStation will not hire OPT/CPT candidates, so if you need sponsorship, skip it and spend your lunch at something that can convert. For everyone else, this is a strong session because PlayStation's San Mateo engineering org hires real software roles, not just game design. Ask about the internship-to-full-time conversion rate and which teams take interns. Bring a portfolio link; graphics, tools and systems projects stand out here.
Show up prepared
- 1Confirm your work authorization matches the posting before registering
- 2RSVP on Handshake and bring your Tower ID
- 3Prepare a one-line summary of a systems, graphics or game project
Sponsorship reality
No sponsorship (citizenship required). Roles at this event require US citizenship or clearance eligibility. If you are on F-1, OPT or H-1B, spend the time on another event on this list.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
