At PlayStation, we build GPU and machine learning systems that power real-time experiences across console, cloud, and game streaming. Games run on servers and stream frames to clients in real time, where advanced ML techniques improve visual quality, latency, and efficiency. Through developing tools like CnnForge, we transform ONNX models into optimized GPU shaders, enabling inference directly on PlayStation hardware and unlocking new possibilities in neural rendering, super-resolution, denoising, and perceptual video compression.

What You'll Do

You will work across GPU, ML, and systems engineering to create frameworks that make games more lifelike and responsive. Your contributions will include:

Designing and optimizing GPU inference pipelines for ML models in real-time media and game streaming

Deploying models efficiently on PlayStation hardware, converting ONNX definitions into high-performance shader code

Building tools and workflows that speed up experimentation and deployment of ML-powered GPU systems

Applying advanced optimizations such as kernel fusion, memory access coalescing, and operator specialization to meet strict latency targets

Helping shape the long-term direction of AI-driven GPU systems at PlayStation

What We're Looking For

We value curiosity and technical excellence. You’re a strong fit if you bring most of the following:

Background in GPU computing, computer graphics, machine learning, or computer vision

Proficiency in C++ and/or Rust, with focus on performance-critical code

Experience with GPU programming, profiling, and optimizations (CUDA, Vulkan, DirectX, or Metal)

Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or ONNX

Track record of delivering complex systems into production
