Staff Software Automation Engineer

Job Overview

Are you a Software Engineer who enjoys more than just writing code? Do you like identifying problems, challenging existing ways of working, and building solutions that make a genuine difference?

We're looking for a Software Automation Engineer to join our Strategy & Ecosystems organisation, helping shape how we use automation and AI to improve collaboration, decision-making and visibility across our engineering teams.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to take real ownership of their work. Rather than simply working through predefined requirements, you'll have the freedom to engage directly with stakeholders, understand their challenges, identify opportunities for improvement, and design and deliver the solutions yourself.

Working closely with our business unit leads and engineering teams, you'll build tools, integrations and AI assisted workflows that connect information across systems, reduce manual effort and provide clearer visibility of engineering priorities, progress and risks.

What makes this opportunity different is the level of autonomy and influence you'll have. You'll be encouraged to bring your own ideas, explore emerging technologies and shape what gets built. With exposure to senior leaders across Arm, you'll have the opportunity to see the impact of your work, influence how teams operate and gain recognition for the solutions you deliver.

If you're someone who enjoys building, experimenting and turning ideas into practical tools that people genuinely use, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Design and build automation solutions: Identify opportunities to simplify complex workflows and develop software tools, integrations and AI assisted solutions that improve efficiency across engineering and business teams.

Own solutions from concept to deployment: Work directly with stakeholders to understand challenges, define requirements, develop solutions and deploy reliable tools that can be used and maintained across the organisation.

Connect systems and information: Build integrations and automated pipelines across platforms such as Jira, Confluence and other internal tools, improving the accuracy and accessibility of engineering delivery information.

Apply AI to real world challenges: Explore and implement AI-assisted workflows and agents to automate routine activities, streamline reporting and help teams make better informed decisions.

Improve reporting and visibility: Develop dashboards, automated reporting and data quality checks that highlight progress, dependencies, risks and areas requiring attention.

Work with business unit leaders, engineering teams and other stakeholders to understand their needs, challenge existing processes and introduce practical improvements.

Ensure reliability and continuous improvement: Test, deploy, monitor and maintain the solutions you develop, ensuring they remain effective as business needs evolve.

Required Skills and Experience

Proven experience designing, developing and deploying software tools, integrations or automation solutions that are actively used by others.

Hands on software development experience using Python, JavaScript or similar languages, with a sound understanding of APIs, data integration and automation pipelines.

Experience taking ownership of technical solutions from initial problem identification and requirements gathering through to implementation, deployment and ongoing support.

Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools or AI technologies to improve software development or automate workflows.

Ability to work independently, identify opportunities for improvement and translate ambiguous business challenges into effective technical solutions.

Experience collaborating with stakeholders across different teams, gathering requirements and communicating technical concepts clearly to both technical and non technical audiences.

Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot issues, assess data quality and ensure the reliability of deployed solutions.

A proactive, collaborative mindset and a track record of delivering meaningful improvements through your own technical contributions.

Nice-to-Have Skills and Experience

Experience developing or deploying AI agents, LLM-powered applications or agentic automation workflows.

Familiarity with Jira, Confluence or similar engineering and project management platforms, including their APIs and integration capabilities.

Experience with cloud platforms, deployment pipelines, CI/CD or infrastructure supporting automated workflows.

Developing dashboards, reporting tools or data visualisations that support operational or engineering decision-making.

Understanding of software engineering delivery processes, including requirements, milestones, dependencies and resource planning.

Experience building internal developer tools, productivity solutions or automation platforms used across multiple teams.

Familiarity with developer ecosystems, AI platforms or open-source software.

In Return

At Arm, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact in a role that combines software engineering, AI, automation and business collaboration.

This is a chance to take ownership of meaningful challenges, shape the solutions you build and influence how teams work across a global technology organisation.

You'll have the freedom to explore new ideas and emerging technologies, work alongside talented engineers and business leaders, and develop solutions that improve how Arm operates.

With genuine autonomy, opportunities to learn and exposure to stakeholders across the business, this role offers something beyond traditional software development: the chance to build, innovate and see the difference your work makes.

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.

Recruitment Adjustments and Accommodations

At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email [email protected]. 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. Please email us about anything we can do to accommodate you during the recruitment process.

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.
