About the Team

At PlayStation, we're not just building the Best Place to Play - we’re also building the Best Place to Work.

The People Analytics team within Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SIE) People & Places organization partners with leaders across the business to transform people data into meaningful insights and smarter decisions. We're a small but mighty team passionate about making data more accessible, actionable, and engaging for the people who use it.

We're currently on a mission to level up our entire portfolio of People Analytics dashboards - reimagining how we visualize workforce and workplace data, expanding access to insights, and empowering more leaders to make informed decisions through intuitive, self‑service analytics.

We're looking for an experienced Tableau Developer to join us on a 6-month contract and help bring this vision to life.

About the Role

As a Tableau Developer on the People Analytics team, you'll play a critical role in modernizing our dashboard portfolio, combining exceptional data visualization skills with the technical expertise needed to make people data more accessible without compromising security.

You’ll focus on two key priorities:

• Dashboard Modernization: Transform existing Tableau dashboards into visually compelling, intuitive, and high‑impact analytical products. Improve aesthetics, functionality, usability, and content to help our stakeholders find the insights they need and understand what actions to take.
• Expanded Access & Row‑Level Security: Design and implement scalable row‑level security solutions within Tableau, enabling us to safely expand dashboard access to new audiences while ensuring users see only the employee data they’re authorized to access.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who loves building exceptional data products, enjoys solving technical challenges, and takes pride in creating solutions that people genuinely want to use.

• Optimize dashboard performance, usability, and maintainability, ensuring solutions are scalable and deliver a seamless user experience.
• Incorporate user feedback into iterative improvements, balancing visual appeal, analytical accuracy, and practical business needs.
• Build dashboards that empower stakeholders to independently explore data, answer business questions, and make informed decisions.

Row‑Level Security & Data Access

• Design, implement, test, and maintain robust row‑level security (RLS) solutions within Tableau to support expanded access to sensitive employee data.
• Develop scalable security models that dynamically restrict data visibility based on user identity, organizational hierarchy, role, or other defined access permissions.
• Collaborate with People Analytics and relevant technology/security partners to ensure security implementations align with organizational data governance and privacy requirements.
• Validate security configurations through comprehensive testing, including different user roles, access scenarios, and organizational changes.
• Document security architecture, configuration, and maintenance procedures to enable reliable ongoing administration by the People Analytics team.

Data Integration & Technical Excellence

• Develop and optimize Tableau data sources, connections, and underlying data models, primarily leveraging Snowflake.
• Write and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and prepare data for dashboard development.
• Troubleshoot data quality, performance, and integration issues across dashboards and underlying data sources.
• Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, and standardize dashboard development and maintenance processes.
• Collaborate with team members to ensure knowledge transfer, thorough documentation, and sustainable solutions beyond the contract period.

• Advanced Tableau expertise, including dashboard design, calculated fields, parameters, filters, actions, data modeling, performance optimization, and visualization best practices.
