Do you like identifying problems, challenging existing ways of working, and building solutions that make a genuine difference?\nWe'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.\nThis 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.\nWorking 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.\nWhat 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.\nIf you're someone who enjoys building, experimenting and turning ideas into practical tools that people genuinely use, we'd love to hear from you.\nResponsibilities\nDesign 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.\nOwn 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.\nConnect 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.\nApply 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.\nImprove reporting and visibility: Develop dashboards, automated reporting and data quality checks that highlight progress, dependencies, risks and areas requiring attention.\nWork with business unit leaders, engineering teams and other stakeholders to understand their needs, challenge existing processes and introduce practical improvements.\nEnsure reliability and continuous improvement: Test, deploy, monitor and maintain the solutions you develop, ensuring they remain effective as business needs evolve.\nRequired Skills and Experience\nProven experience designing, developing and deploying software tools, integrations or automation solutions that are actively used by others.\nHands on software development experience using Python, JavaScript or similar languages, with a sound understanding of APIs, data integration and automation pipelines.\nExperience taking ownership of technical solutions from initial problem identification and requirements gathering through to implementation, deployment and ongoing support.\nPractical experience using AI-assisted development tools or AI technologies to improve software development or automate workflows.\nAbility to work independently, identify opportunities for improvement and translate ambiguous business challenges into effective technical solutions.\nExperience collaborating with stakeholders across different teams, gathering requirements and communicating technical concepts clearly to both technical and non technical audiences.\nStrong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot issues, assess data quality and ensure the reliability of deployed solutions.\nA proactive, collaborative mindset and a track record of delivering meaningful improvements through your own technical contributions.\nNice-to-Have Skills and Experience\nExperience developing or deploying AI agents, LLM-powered applications or agentic automation workflows.\nFamiliarity with Jira, Confluence or similar engineering and project management platforms, including their APIs and integration capabilities.\nExperience with cloud platforms, deployment pipelines, CI/CD or infrastructure supporting automated workflows.\nDeveloping dashboards, reporting tools or data visualisations that support operational or engineering decision-making.\nUnderstanding of software engineering delivery processes, including requirements, milestones, dependencies and resource planning.\nExperience building internal developer tools, productivity solutions or automation platforms used across multiple teams.\nFamiliarity with developer ecosystems, AI platforms or open-source software.\nIn Return\nAt Arm, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact in a role that combines software engineering, AI, automation and business collaboration.\nThis is a chance to take ownership of meaningful challenges, shape the solutions you build and influence how teams work across a global technology organisation.\nYou'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.\nWith 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.\nAdditional Information\nIf skilled worker sponsorship is required, Arm will meet costs associated with sponsorship for the employer only. All fees associated with the individual’s application e.g. visa application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, will be the responsibility of the successful candidate.\nOur 10x Mindset\nAt Arm, we believe progress happens when people are empowered to think bigger and push beyond what seems possible. Our 10x mindset is about curiosity, ambition and creating impact that will be used by millions. We learn fast, prioritise collaboration and turn bold ideas into real technology.

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  so we can support you.\nRecruitment Adjustments and Accommodations\nAt Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email . 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.\nHybrid Working\nArm’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.\nEqual Opportunities\nArm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues.
