System Software Development (File System Development for Game Consoles and their SDK)

5 Hours ago • All levels

Job Summary

Job Description

This role involves the development of the file system (FS) on the high-speed SSD of PlayStation 5 (PS5) and 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 by SIE, and the file system also features original functions that incorporate core technologies supporting the PlayStation platform. The team consists of around 10 people, all of whom contribute to the development of the PS5 and its SDK through their own programming. The developers themselves analyze the requirements and design and develop the functions in their respective areas. The functions to be developed range widely, from low layers that control hardware (HW) to libraries for applications. The main customers are PS5 users, but software developers inside and outside the company who are developing system software and games are also customers. Therefore, when analyzing requirements, there are opportunities to communicate with application developers, and there are many opportunities to learn from software developers with different backgrounds. Many people who have no experience in FS development have also moved from other departments seeking coding opportunities, and each of them learns through development and continues to grow as a software developer.
Must have:
  • Experience in system software and low-level programming in C language.
Good to have:
  • Experience in OS development is preferred.
  • More than 5 years of software development experience is desirable.
  • Experience in kernel and other system software development.
  • Experience in FS development.
  • Experience in driver development for NAND.
  • Experience in designing, developing, and operating test programs, test frameworks, or test infrastructure for software/hardware products.

■ 職務内容
PlayStation5(PS5)の高速SSD上のファイルシステム(FS)開発、およびそのSDKの開発が主な業務内容です。プログラマとしてPS5のFSやストレージに関連する機能を設計・開発していただきます。PlayStationのOSの大部分は SIE 独自で開発しており、ファイルシステムにおいてもPlayStationプラットフォームを支えるコア技術が組み込まれた独自機能の開発を進めています。

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語でのシステムソフトウェアや低レイヤのプログラミング経験者。

▪️尚可条件(want)

  • 5年以上のソフトウェア開発経験が望ましい

▪️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。技術文明を読む、書く等。

▪️求めている人物像

  • ものづくりが好きでソフトウェアエンジニアとしての成長を楽しめる人。
  • とくかくコードが書きたい人。
  • 新たな事に挑戦したい人。
