  • Define scalable, maintainable automation and infrastructure patterns that support long-term platform growth.

  • Contribute to architectural discussions for test systems spanning C++, embedded firmware (C), and Python-based infrastructure.

  • Identify technical risks early and drive mitigation strategies to protect release confidence.

Hands-On Engineering

  • Crafting and improving automated test cases, sample applications, testing tools and frameworks for SDK libraries and low level software (C++)

  • Build and improve test infrastructure using Python and Groovy to simplify building, testing, and demonstrating PlayStation sample applications.

  • Monitor test infrastructure, analyze automation failures, improve reliability, and optimize runtime performance.

  • Partner closely with software production and offshore teams to compose robust test plans, validation strategies, and documentation.

Skills and Characteristics

  • Strong technical leadership with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Excellent interpersonal skills, including presenting technical direction to both engineers and executives.

  • Proven experience leading architectural decisions and complex debugging efforts.

  • Self-directed, committed to producing strong results, and passionate about high-quality automation.

Qualifications

  • Strong programming proficiency in Python & C++.

  • Experience building, running, and debugging software in both Windows & Linux environments.

  • Deep understanding of automation trade-offs and architectural design decisions.

Nice-to-Have

  • Exposure to Android platform, including SDK, tooling and architecture

  • Prior experience with PlayStation SDK development is helpful.

  • Familiarity with Unity, Unreal Engine or other game engine technology.

  • Containerization technology such as Docker and Kubernetes.
