About this role
Sony Interactive Entertainment's Advanced Technology Group is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to own critical machine learning inference systems running on PlayStation consoles. You'd drive both the architectural vision and hands-on implementation of these runtime systems, working across a globally distributed team that includes the engineers behind PlayStation's rendering, ray tracing, and shader compilation infrastructure. The role demands technical leadership in shaping how future PlayStation generations will support ML workloads, alongside strategic collaboration with hardware partners and external vendors.
This is a senior position requiring at least ten years in a comparable role, with a proven track record of shipping major projects from design through maintenance. You'll need five-plus years of GPU programming experience, strong C/C++ and shader language skills, and a deep understanding of low-level GPU computing. Console software development experience is essential. While machine learning familiarity is valued, your core strength should be in graphics and systems-level GPU work—the ML context is the application domain, not a replacement for deep GPU expertise.
The role is based in London and requires in-office presence. Sony conducts background checks for all new hires and is a Fair Chance employer.
