Job description

Job overview: Arm technology drives everything from ultra-low-power IoT sensors to hyperscale cloud servers. In the Developer Platforms group, we strive to create outstanding developer experiences by providing intuitive tools, native to the environments developers prefer, which enable them to unlock the full potential of our architecture.

We are looking for software engineers who are passionate about empowering developers delivering machine learning experiences on Arm. Our team looks holistically at developer challenges, delivering tools that support model selection, training, profiling, deployment, hardware configuration, and visualisation. This is a unique opportunity to join a team collaborating across diverse technologies, transforming complex developer problems into intuitive solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate within a diverse team to design, deliver and refine the tools and experiences required to support development on Arm processors.
• Work alongside peers and junior team members to solve technical problems, mentoring as necessary.
• Form effective relationships with other engineers, product managers and UX specialists to deeply understand and empower users.
• Engage with our agile planning and development processes to help shape delivery of our products.
• Ensure quality through unit testing and continuous integration.

Required skills and experience:

• Programming Proficiency: Demonstrable expertise in at least one programming language, capable of writing well-structured, readable code with robust error handling, adaptable to changing requirements.
• Software Engineering Fundamentals: Proficiency in version control, automated testing, CI/CD, and Agile methodologies.
• Results-Driven: A desire to push forward the state of the art in developer tooling by embracing new technologies and continuous innovation.
• Developer-Centric Mindset: You care about making developers’ lives easier, with sensitivity to both the delightful and frustrating aspects of software development.

“Nice to have” skills and experience:

• Experience shipping real products to customers.
• ML Design and Deployment: Familiarity with designing, training, optimizing, and deploying machine learning models using frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, LiteRT, HuggingFace Transformers, or commercial APIs.
• Containerisation: Experience with cloud deployments and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes, containerd).
• Linux: Embedded Linux and kernel development.
• Programming Languages: We adopt a flexible tooling approach, but recent projects have involved TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Go.

In return, you will join an established and experienced team working with innovative technologies in an agile environment which requires proactivity, dynamic approaches to problem solving and creative thinking. You will work on greenfield software products which ship with new Arm hardware on day one.
