The Central Engineering - Software team is responsible for developing
and improving the software ecosystem around Arm's next generation of
applications processors. This frequently means working with processors
and other hardware technology not yet available to the public. We work
on a range of development platforms, software-modeling, FPGAs and early
silicon, sometimes many months before the processors are used in real
products.
You will have the opportunity to build upon your existing background,
knowledge and expertise, provide performance analysis and optimizations
to vital open source databases for the Arm architecture. Your
contributions will help drive the improvement of popular databases from
both the performance and features perspectives. We seek individuals with
exposure and knowledge of every level of the database ecosystem across
various components and solutions. If you are similarly passionate about
innovative technologies, then we want to hear from you!
# Responsibilities: #
o) Work with Arm internal teams and external partners to identify
missing SW blocks and bottlenecks, enable and optimize related database
engines on Arm servers.
o) Collaborate with internal/external partners to understand enterprise
database related requirements on Arm servers.
o) Work with open source communities to upstream patches and maintain code.
o) Help develop, optimize and deliver the software needed to support
Arm's ground-breaking IP.
o) Collaborate with other architects/engineers to influence Arm technology.
# Required Skills and Experience: #
o) Proficient C/C++ coding skills, with hands on experience developing
server class software.
o) Experience working with database engine internals or an equivalent
technological area (for example, filesystem internals).
o) Extensive experience in debugging, profiling and optimizing
multi-threaded software systems.
o) Knowledge of operating system internals, Filesystem, and memory
architecture.
o) Strong understanding of a computer architecture (not necessarily Arm!).
o) Experience with open-source project development cycles and
contribution processes.
# “Nice To Have” Skills and Experience: #
o) Strong understanding of PostgreSQL or MySQL (or any other database)
code base.
o) Good understanding of concepts such as CPU pipelines, caches, MMU and
NUMA, and how they impact high-level software performance.
o) Understanding of disk I/O and networking and their impact on
server-side application performance.
# In Return: #
We offer a hybrid approach to home and office working to provide an
adaptable experience for all employees. We expect some working time to
be spent in office, to promote a strong collaborative environment with
good team integration but are accommodating to different home working
requirements.
# Salary Range #
$185,491-$250,958 per year
We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people
competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and
experience they bring to Arm. Salary is only one component of Arm's
offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during
the recruitment and selection process.

We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work

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,
