ARM

Job description:

The Software (CE-SW) group is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm's next-generation architectures and systems. This means working with processors and other hardware technology not yet available to the public. You will join a team of Software Engineers who share a passion for crafting what lies ahead in computing.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a key role in enabling next-generation Arm architecture capabilities within major open-source platforms such as Linux and Android.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in the design and development of low-level software to integrate new Arm architecture features across Linux, Android, and related userspace components.
• Architect, develop, and optimize core OS subsystems with a focus on performance, power efficiency, and security.
• Drive complex technical investigations across software layers, identifying root causes and leading resolution of performance, optimization, and protection issues.
• Lead code reviews, influence design decisions, and ensure high-quality contributions with upstream open-source communities.
• Partner with teams specializing in Arm architecture and silicon to deliver and incorporate support for new architectural features.
• Mentor and technically guide junior and mid-level engineers, promoting guidelines in low-level systems development.

Necessary Expertise and Experience :

• Proficiency in C and C++, with a strong understanding of OS internals such as memory management, scheduling, or virtualisation.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a structured approach to debugging complex low-level software issues.
• Experience of software profiling, instrumentation, and optimization.
• Experience leading technical discussions, code reviews, and upstream collaborations in open-source projects.
• Strong interpersonal skills; excellent written and spoken English.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Familiarity with Android internals.
• Familiarity with at least one CPU architecture, preferably Armv8-A or newer.
• Familiarity with Python and other scripting languages used for automation, analysis, and testing.
• Familiarity with Rust or another memory-safe language.
• Understanding of modern compiler toolchains, particularly LLVM-based technologies.
• Exposure to technical leadership, project coordination, or an interest in developing line-management skills.

In Return:

You will contribute at the forefront of Arm architecture innovation, collaborating with outstanding engineers on industry-defining technology. You’ll have the autonomy to determine technical direction, influence upstream ecosystems, and continuously improve how we work as an engineering organisation. Join us in building the future of computing by successfully implementing world-class solutions!

Please note that no relocation package is available for this role.

If visa sponsorship is required, Arm will meet all costs associated with sponsorship for the employee only. All fees associated with any spouse/dependants, will be the responsibility of the successful candidate.
