Description

Sony Interactive Entertainment is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the SDK Quality Engineering team in London, building the tools and automated systems used to validate audio technologies in the PlayStation SDK. The role is primarily software engineering: designing audio analysis tools, automated validation pipelines, regression detection systems and developer-facing diagnostics in close collaboration with Audio SDK and platform teams. The right candidate combines strong C/C++ and Python skills with practical digital audio knowledge and experience building reliable tools, automation or analysis systems.

Responsibilities

Design, build and maintain audio validation tools for PlayStation SDK audio libraries and technologies
Write C/C++ and Python code to analyse audio output, detect regressions, compare SDK versions and validate expected behaviour
Build automated systems for repeatable audio quality measurement, including signal analysis, spectral comparison, latency checks, conformance checks and regression detection
Create tooling that gives engineers clear evidence when audio behaviour changes
Work with Audio SDK engineers to understand features, risks, expected behaviour and testability needs
Integrate audio validation into CI, build pipelines, reporting, dashboards and release workflows
Investigate complex audio issues using debugging, data analysis and signal processing together with domain experts
Own technical areas end to end, from requirements and design through implementation, documentation, maintenance and support
Help define standards for maintainable, reproducible and trustworthy audio validation tooling
Mentor engineers and share knowledge across SDK QE and Audio SDK teams

Requirements

Strong professional software engineering experience
Strong C/C++ development skills
Strong Python development skills
Practical understanding of digital audio fundamentals such as PCM audio, sample rates, channels, latency, dynamic range, filtering, resampling, encoding and frequency-domain analysis
Experience building tools, automation, analysis systems, SDK components, test infrastructure or developer-facing systems
Strong debugging skills across code, data, tooling, environments and pipelines
Ability to turn ambiguous technical problems into robust, maintainable software
Experience with source control, code review, CI and collaborative engineering workflows
Clear written and verbal communication when explaining technical findings to different specialisms
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Audio Technology, Mathematics, Physics or equivalent practical experience
Experience with audio analysis, signal processing or automated media validation
Experience validating libraries, APIs, command-line tools, SDKs, runtime systems or platform-level software
Experience with automated regression detection and quality measurement
Experience with CI systems such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Buildkite, TeamCity or similar
Experience with test frameworks such as GTest, CppUnit, PyTest or similar
Game audio, console audio, real-time audio systems, middleware, audio engines or SDK development
Perceptual or objective audio quality approaches such as loudness measurement, spectral comparison, null testing, impulse response analysis, latency measurement, glitch and dropout detection, PESQ, POLQA or PEAQ
Spatial audio, 3D audio, binaural rendering, ambisonics, HRTFs, object-based audio or immersive audio formats
Performance profiling, numerical correctness testing, floating-point tolerances or cross-platform determinism
Dashboards, telemetry, reporting or trend analysis
Technical leadership, mentoring or leading work across multiple teams
