Yes, there is a Sony office in Madison, WI! We are located in the heart of downtown right on the Capitol Square with an outstanding view of the east side and many phenomenal restaurants and social opportunities right outside the door. We have a very flexible work from home policy: live close enough to the office for occasional in-person meetings and events, otherwise work in the office as much or as little as preferred!

  • Define and deliver evaluation criteria for testability, scalability, and performance of new features and improvements. Maintain stability, performance, and quality of the codebase by applying development standards while using automation to support internal CI/CD workflows.
  • Demonstrate adaptability and flexibility by context-switching across diverse projects and programming paradigms. Write clean, scalable solutions that align with a wide variety of use cases.
  • Work independently and mentor junior engineers. Provide detailed peer review feedback for all team members. Understand existing development and testing processes and identify improvements to support the team and product.
