Would you like to help ensure the quality and reliability of PlayStation media experiences?
Join the Quality Engineering (QE) team supporting PlayStation client software — where your testing work directly shapes performance, stability, and the overall user experience across media features.
We’re looking for a curious and detail-oriented tester with strong Python skills and an understanding of how API behavior affects client functionality.
