Software Engineer I

Sony Interactive Entertainment is seeking a Software Engineer to develop and maintain a multi-platform application framework powering PlayStation user experiences. The role involves React Native, native platform integration, SDK tooling, and developer documentation.

• Implement, debug, and maintain application framework features across JavaScript/TypeScript and native layers.
• Build and improve developer-facing APIs, native modules, framework components, and integration paths used by application teams.
• Contribute to native framework code in C++.
• Improve framework integration with React Native and native platform services.
• Improve SDK packaging, framework templates, sample apps, documentation, and integration guides so partner teams can adopt framework capabilities with less support.
• Debug issues across JavaScript, native code, build tooling, runtimes, and CI.
• Maintain backward compatibility and clear versioning expectations for framework APIs.
• Add tests, validation notes, and sample coverage for framework changes.
• Collaborate with senior engineers, product teams, UI teams, and application teams to clarify requirements and land maintainable solutions.
• Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions, with an emphasis on correctness, maintainability, performance, and developer experience.

• B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• 2-5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Experience building libraries, SDKs, frameworks, developer tooling, native modules, or other reusable engineering platforms.
• Strong JavaScript or TypeScript experience.
• Solid C++ fundamentals, including memory ownership, API boundaries, build/debug workflows, and performance-aware implementation.
• Ability to debug across layers: JavaScript, native platform code, build systems, runtime logs, and CI output.
• Strong API design judgment, including compatibility, versioning, error handling, documentation, and testability.
• Comfort working in a large codebase with existing patterns and platform constraints.
• Clear written communication for design notes, PR descriptions, validation results, and developer documentation.
• Familiarity with React Native.
• Experience with cross-platform SDKs or frameworks across iOS, macOS, Android, Linux, game console, or desktop platforms.
• Experience writing high-performance or ABI-conscious C++ code.
• Familiarity with CMake, Conan, CocoaPods, Gradle, Maven, npm, or other package and build distribution systems.
• Experience with CI/CD systems such as Jenkins.
• Experience building native UI components, focus/input systems, accessibility surfaces, performance instrumentation, or test harnesses.
• Experience working with application teams as framework consumers and translating integration pain into reusable framework improvements.
