Job Description:

We are a hardware team based in Cambridge responsible for developing the DynamicIQ Shared Unit, which is the backbone of Arm CPUs, interfacing between several Arm cores and the rest of the system.

We are looking for the right person to own and improve our software infrastructure, keeping the high quality of our products by ensuring strong CI/CD practices, build and automation flows.

This role focuses on on-premises Linux infrastructure and high-performance compute, rather than public cloud or containerisation.

• Work with engineers across the team to understand and overcome efficiency challenges.
• Strive to continuously improve and promote best practices interacting with the wider Arm IT and DevOps community.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Strong software development skills in Python (preferred) or another scripting language; ability to design maintainable services/tools (tests, code review, packaging).
• Linux based systems experience, including hands-on troubleshooting performance, storage, filesystem, and process-level issues on long-lived on-prem systems.
• Distributed Version Control Systems and collaboration (git or similar).
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work well collaboratively in a team, to guide and promote good working practices.

'Nice To Have' Skills and Experience:

• Knowledge of CI/CD (Jenkins or similar).
• Familiarity with other scripting languages (Perl, bash, csh, etc…).
• Code review platforms (Gerrit or similar).
• Containerisation (Docker or similar).
• User experience on LSF and High Performance Computing.

In Return:

We will provide the support and environment to excel in this role. We offer a hybrid approach with remote and office working, and strive to understand each individual's unique circumstances.

Additional Information:

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

Use of AI in Your Application

At Arm, we embrace the benefits AI can bring, including in recruitment. You may use AI to support your preparation, such as improving the clarity of written responses, practicing interview questions, or learning more about our industry. However, your application and interview responses must reflect your own thinking, experience, and abilities. We want to understand your authentic perspective, creativity, and approach to problem solving. As such, you may not use AI to complete assigned tasks as part of any assessments. If you plan to use AI-supported or assistive technologies as part of a reasonable adjustment, please contact [email protected] so we can support you.

To note, by sending us the requested information, you consent to its use by Arm to arrange for appropriate accommodations. All accommodation or adjustment requests will be treated with confidentiality, and information concerning these requests will only be disclosed as necessary to provide the accommodation. Although this is not an exhaustive list, examples of support include breaks between interviews, having documents read aloud, or office accessibility.

Hybrid Working

Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
