Why PlayStation?

PlayStation isn't just the Best Place to Play — it's also the Best Place to Work. Today, we're recognized as a global leader in entertainment producing The PlayStation family of products and services including PlayStation5, PlayStation4, PlayStationVR, PlayStationPlus, acclaimed PlayStation software titles from PlayStation Studios, and more.

PlayStation also strives to create an inclusive environment that empowers employees and embraces diversity. We welcome and encourage everyone who has a passion and curiosity for innovation, technology, and play to explore our open positions and join our growing global team.

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

We are looking for a senior software engineer to join our CPU Toolchain team to work on Sony's Clang / LLVM-based compiler and linker, targeting the PlayStation platforms. You will join an existing global team and contribute to toolchain enhancements that improve developer experience, such as better compile-time performance, debuggability, robustness and diagnostics.

Responsibilities:

  • Identifying and isolating bottlenecks/pain-points in the developer experience of using the PlayStation toolchain,
  • Collaborating with partners (game studios, middleware vendors), internal teams, and the open-source community to find solutions,
  • Prototyping and evaluating systems to improve developer experience,
  • Discovering, clarifying and managing requirements throughout the development process,
  • Engaging with the open-source community to develop solutions that are beneficial to our customers and the broader OSS community,
  • Contributing to our other compiler team duties of responding to partner issue reports, general maintenance and code review,
  • Mentoring and encouraging junior developers, and advocating team-wide improvements.

Required:

  • Computer science (or similar) degree,
  • 7+ experience with C/C++ and developing in a native environment,
  • 5 to 10 years experience in a professional software development environment,
  • Familiarity and/or development history with LLVM or similarly complex compiler technology,
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to address seemingly insoluble problems,
  • Experience with profilers, debuggers, linkers, and other components used for native application development,
  • Experience with open-source development workflows, public discussions on mailing lists, code reviews.

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with the C++ specification,
  • Experience in game development or a similar environment (high performance, large codebases),
  • Knowledge of AMD64 microarchitectures and their performance characteristics,
  • A desire to improve the quality-of-life of software developers.
