SN's ProDG debugger is simply the best debugger for console development out there. Pair that with their rock solid C/C++ compiler and the fast and flexible linker and you have everything to efficiently push through large projects. In addition to that SN Systems' support is second to none. Very quick turn around times even for new features if they are needed! What more can one want?
We wouldn't have been able to create 'Star Wars - Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader' without this toolset.

SN Systems has exciting opportunities for Toolchain Engineers to join our teams in Bristol, UK and San Jose, USA.
Within the team, emphasis is placed on designing robust and maintainable applications.
SN Systems HQ in Bristol offers a range of working environments from modern and open plan spaces to numerous meeting rooms equipped with the latest AV and communication tools. Featuring a kitchen providing a range of hot and cold drinks and a separate games room which is blessed with two PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems with the latest game titles for lunchtime or after-work fun. For those slightly more old-school, there’s also table football which has an equally passionate following among the staff.
SN Systems values its staff and encourages socialising together with several company outings and dinners/night-outs each year. From bowling/games nights to 5-a-side football or just a few drinks in the local pub there’s usually an event or activity to participate in if you’re interested.
For the most part, the office operates a flexible approach to work hours, and a casual dress code is the norm except when attending exhibitions or external meetings where dressing appropriately is expected.
Living in and around Bristol
As well as working for a dynamic and innovative company, prospective employees can also look forward to living in or around the vibrant and fascinating city of Bristol.
Bristol has something for everyone; a cosmopolitan city, rich with history and home to a myriad of theatres, cinemas, sporting venues and excellent shopping facilities. With an extensive range of bars and restaurants covering all the flavours of the world, the city also includes a large student gathering ensuring nights out are always lively and fun.
For those with young families, attractions such as Bristol Zoo top the list of our favourite local destinations.
If urban life isn't for you all the time, then Bristol is surrounded by some beautiful countryside with both the Cotswolds and Mendips a quick 30 minute drive away from the centre. Whether as a place to live or simply visit during the weekend, you'll find plenty to do in and around the area.
Access to UK's first and second cities; London and Birmingham is within 1.5 hours car/train and a local airport flying to various European hotspots as well as long haul destinations including New York, Florida and beyond ensures you're always well connected.
This is just a brief summary of some of reasons why Bristol is a wonderful place to live and work in, not forgetting of course that we're all here as well!
