Jobs in play station: check for more details

Playing games all day sounds like something you'd do on your day off.

But what if you could do it AND get paid for the pleasure?

PlayStation Europe is hiring and the office less than an hour away from Manchester.

However, with a few of the vacancies, being fluent in a second language including Brazilian, Russian or Arabic is preffered.

The company, which has an office in Liverpool where the roles are being advertised, is looking for a functional test lead as well as three localisation testers.

The job ads begin by saying: "PlayStation isn't just the Best Place to Play — it's also the Best Place to Work.

"We've thrilled gamers since 1994, when we launched the original PlayStation. Today, we’re recognised as a global leader in interactive and digital entertainment.

"The PlayStation brand falls under Sony Interactive Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation."

Sold already? Here's what you need to know about the roles on offer.

The functional test lead will be responsible for coordinating all functionality project specific activities on your assigned projects within PlayStation Studios.

It says that you will get to work on groundbreaking hardware and video-games within a large multicultural, multi region team which in turn will help the company drive and build the future of games and games testing.

The ideal candidate will need to fit the bill which includes excellent communication, organisational and social skills as well as, it goes without saying, a passion for video-games.

The company says that it's "nice to have" PlayStation platform knowledge and the ability to speak Japanese.

As for the localisation testers, the role will see you making sure the audio and text in a video game are correct.

You will need to have native level knowledge for the required language (grammar, spelling, and punctuation) - which in this case is  Brazilian, Russian or Arabic - and good attention to detail to find and provide corrections for errors.

Occasionally, you will also translate text for a video game or marketing.

The job ad asks: "Do you have a passion for languages and games? Do you enjoy finding linguistic mistakes in video games?

"Would you like to be part of an international team whose work has impact on players around the world? Then we would love to hear from you!"

A salary hasn't been specified on the advert but the hours of work are 37.5 hours per week, working 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.
