Performance, reliability, and scale
Build software that performs reliably under edge constraints such as limited resources, real-time requirements, and heterogeneous hardware.
Contribute to system-level performance optimization across CPUs and AI accelerators.
Ensure systems are maintainable, testable, and robust in production environments.
Multi-functional collaboration
Work closely with architects, product managers, and AI engineers to build platform capabilities and developer-facing abstractions.
Collaborate across teams to build clean APIs, service boundaries, and integration points.
Contribute to reference implementations, documentation, and example workflows.
Vital Skills and Experience
Strong experience crafting and building systems software, platform services, or distributed systems in production.
Proficiency in C/C++, Rust, Go, or Python (language choice depends on component).
Solid understanding of
Linux-based systems
Process isolation, IPC, and service lifecycles
API build and versioning
Experience building developer platforms, SDKs, or internal tooling.
Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and performance optimization.
Ability to work across multiple layers of the stack, from APIs down to system behavior.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Skills and Experience
Experience with container technologies and modern packaging/deployment approaches.
Familiarity with edge computing, embedded Linux, or real-time systems.
Exposure to AI/ML inference systems, even from a platform or infrastructure perspective.
Experience with heterogeneous computing (CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, DSPs).
Background in robotics, vision systems, or physical AI applications.
Contributions to open-source systems or developer tooling projects.
Familiarity with security concepts such as secure boot, isolation, or attestation.
Why this role matters
Edge and physical AI systems impose outstanding requirements on software platforms. These platforms need to be secure, reliable, updatable, and easy for developers to use. They must also function within real-world limits not found in the cloud.
This role involves guiding the development and deployment of AI on Arm-powered devices used in real-world scenarios. You will help build platforms that unlock new application categories in robotics, industrial systems, and consumer technology. It offers a chance to create a strong impact on the future of AI!

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 accommodations@arm.com 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 accommodations@arm.com. 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.
