SN Systems, a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment, has announced the opening of a new satellite office in Dublin, Ireland, alongside plans for a company-wide recruitment drive.

Matt Bush, who has been with SN Systems for nine years, will lead the Dublin office in its research and development of ProDG development tools, the standard programming tools for all PlayStation hardware.

“As part of the on-going development process we’re finding that in order to recruit the most talented staff, we need to have offices in numerous locations. Last year we opened our first US office in San Jose, California and this year it’s Dublin,” said SN Systems director Andy Beveridge.

“Both offices will grow in numbers quite rapidly as we plan to recruit more staff to cope with the demand of supporting PlayStation game title developers worldwide. However, the Bristol office will still be our headquarters and main focal point. To accommodate our growth, we’ll be moving to a larger office later this year.”
