Using Tuner with "Resistance:Fall of Man" on the PlayStation®3 was very useful in optimizing a number of higher-level systems - programmers across the board found it intuitive and were able to quickly identify performance bottlenecks.

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 has been developing development tools for the games industry since 1988 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc (SCE) in 2005. During that time, the number of employees has grown at a steady rate and recently topped the half century mark resulting in the Bristol headquarters moving to new and larger premises, still within easy walking distance of the city centre.
While the majority of staff are based in the Bristol HQ, further recruitment has led to the opening of two satellite offices in San Jose, CA, USA and Dublin, Ireland. Foreign travel across the globe is quite common and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc, staff may be expected to visit Japan and North America as well as travel throughout Europe and other continents for exhibitions, visiting development studios or even longer-term placements.
Generally, the office operates on a flexible approach around core hours. An excellent benefits package is also on offer.
Casual dress code is the norm, except when attending exhibitions or external meetings where dressing appropriately is expected.
We can offer you the opportunity to build a great career in a fast-moving, challenging environment, where you’ll be given the time and guidance to develop your talent to its full potential.
You may well already have the skills we need – you’ll have a degree in Computer Science or equivalent programming skills. Overall, you’ll bring your enthusiasm, communication skills and motivation to bear on our work, being ready to tackle the many challenges we face and helping us deliver the outstanding support our clients expect.
