Job Summary

Job Description

The primary job responsibilities involve the development of the file system (FS) on the high-speed SSD of PlayStation 5 (PS5) and the development of its SDK. As a programmer, you will design and develop FS and storage-related functions for the PS5. The majority of the PlayStation OS is developed independently by SIE, and the file system incorporates core technologies that support the PlayStation platform. The team consists of about a dozen people, all contributing to the development of PS5 and its SDK through programming. Developers analyze requirements and design and develop functions in their respective areas. The functions developed range from low-level hardware (HW) control to application-oriented libraries. The main customers are users of PS5, but software developers inside and outside the company who develop system software and games are also customers. Therefore, when analyzing requirements, communication with application developers is essential, and there are many opportunities to learn from software developers with different backgrounds. Even those with no FS development experience have transferred in search of coding opportunities, and each continues to learn through development and grow as a software developer. The development focuses on PS5, but all PS platforms are targets, and the workplace is full of the delights of software development, including challenging tasks with R&D elements and high technical difficulty, and tasks that support the platform by solving problems that customers encounter in the market without giving up, from HW to end-users.
Must have:
  • C language experience in system software and low-level programming.
Good to have:
  • OS development experience.
  • 5+ years of software development experience.
  • Kernel system software development experience.
  • FS development experience.
  • NAND driver development experience.
  • Experience in designing, developing, and operating test programs, frameworks, or infrastructure for software/hardware products.

組織・職場紹介
我々の課は10数人で構成されており、全ての人が自身でプログラミングしてPS5とそのSDK開発に貢献しています。開発者自身が要求を分析し、担当している領域の機能を設計・開発しています。開発する機能はハードウエア(HW)を制御する低レイヤからアプリケーション向けのライブラリまで広範囲にわたります。主な顧客はPS5を使用するユーザですが、システムソフトウエアやゲームを開発している社内外のソフトウエア開発者も顧客となります。そのため要求分析の際にはアプリケーション開発者とコミュニケーションする事があり、バックグラウンドの異なるソフトウエア開発者から学ぶ事も多々あります。FS開発が未経験でもコーディングを求めて異動してきた方も多くおり、それぞれが開発を介して学び、ソフトウエア開発者として成長を続けています。開発の中心はPS5ですが全PSプラットフォームが開発対象であり、R&D要素のある技術的難易度の高い挑戦的な業務、市場で顧客が遭遇して困っている問題を諦めず解決してプラットフォームを支える業務など、HWからエンドユーザまで広範囲に関わる事ができるソフトウエア開発の醍醐味がつまっている職場です。

▪️必須要件(must)

  • C言語でのシステムソフトウエアや低レイヤのプログラミング経験者。

  • 5年以上のソフトウエア開発経験が望ましい
  • カーネル等のシステムソフトウエア開発経験
  • FS開発経験

▪️語学要件
TOEIC スコア 700 以上、またはそれに相当する英語力。
技術的な内容に関して最低限の英語でのコミュニケーションができる事。技術文書を読む、書く等。

▪️求めている人物像

  • ものづくりが好きでソフトウエアエンジニアとしての成長を楽しめる人。
