Category Software Engineering

We are looking for an experienced performance engineer who is passionate about developing compilers and managed runtimes and loves open-source software. In this role you will be working on improving the performance of managed language workloads on Arm architecture by improving the language runtime/compiler as well as identifying bottlenecks in the hardware and working with hardware designers to improve these. The languages covered include Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust and more.

You'll be part of the bigger CE-SW Runtimes team, whose goal is to improve modern languages support on the Arm architecture, from JavaScript to Rust. You will work closely with the team and colleagues across the organisation and with open source communities to tackle challenges in enabling the future of computing.

Responsibilities

Identify and implement changes to compilers and managed runtimes to improve the performance of selected workloads and better support Arm architectural features and CPU designs.
‎Identify bottlenecks in managed language workloads/benchmarks using profiling tools.
Collaborate with colleagues across Arm to improve the support for the Arm Architecture and CPUs.
Implement new runtime or compile features and fine-tune existing ones. (e.g. garbage collectors, interpreters, optimisation passes, intrinsics)
Contribute to open-source software projects and engage with open-source community.
Help develop the project automated functionality and performance testing frameworks.

Required skills and experience

Experience working on managed runtimes, compilers or similar technologies.
Strong programming skills in C/C++.
‎Familiar with performance analysis tools at an assembly level.
Knowledge of and interest in improving computer architecture and microarchitecture such as CPU pipelines and cache hierarchies.
Proficiency in software development and methodologies (coding, testing, debugging, reviewing)

Nice to have skills and experience

Familiar with Linux performance analysis tools and system level performance tuning.
Proficiency in one or more of the following languages: Java, C#, Rust, Go, JavaScript, Python
Familiar with Agile software development methodology such as Scrum or Kanban.
‎Familiar with build systems and CI.
Familiar with open-source project development and contribution processes.

Please note: If 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.

In Return

You will work directly with upstream communities, contributing to language implementations used by millions of developers worldwide. You will have the opportunity to learn about and influence the latest Arm architecture features and microarchitectural implementations, working closely with highly skilled engineering teams on ground-breaking technology. You will be empowered to continually identify and roll out improvements to our ways of working.
