Staff Software Engineer

As a Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience at PlayStation, you will have the outstanding chance to craft and improve the developer experience for our engineering and IT staff. Join our Engineering Productivity Services team to define and develop automated workflows and streamlined processes that support engineers in their daily operations.

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• Extensive experience developing APIs, services, and/or tools in Go or similar languages.
• A deep understanding of engineering standard methodologies including requirement gathering and analysis, software design standards and experience with multiple technology stacks.
• Demonstrated experience developing against one or more developer experience tools, such as GitHub, Jenkins, Tilt, Docker Swarm, or Backstage/Cortex.
• Experience delivering and supporting applications with at least one cloud provider, such as AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a globally distributed team.

Live near the office for occasional in-person meetings and events, and work from home the rest of the time.
