Sony is hiring a senior product manager to handle a campaign for the “next generation PlayStation,” as reported in an open position on LinkedIn.
While that’s not a great surprise, to see Sony work on a brand new PlayStation so late in the PS4 lifecycle, it’s interesting to note that the company is already starting to think how to market it.
“At PlayStation we are working at the frontiers of immersive experiences for our users. We are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Lead to join our Intelligence Platform Group,” says the listing.
“As part of this hands-on position you would work across Partners, Product and Engineering and contribute to development and growth of PlayStation Intelligence Platform. You will own the roadmap for next-generation PlayStation campaign.”
On GlassDoor, a similar job listing was discovered, this time for a senior software engineer, and “next generation of PlayStation devices” was mentioned again, if possible even more directly.
“The team you’ll be joining is chartered with developing platforms that enable delivering intelligent experiences to next generation of PlayStation devices,” the listing says.
“To enable us keep the momentum of PlayStation 4’s tremendous success worldwide going over to next generation, you’ll contribute to multiple opportunities to have an outsized impact on shaping the evolution of our web services platform.”
PS5 is expected to drop in late 2019 or 2020, and Sony CEO recently called it “a necessity” at this point in the road of the company.
