JOB OVERVIEW:

Arm-based hardware is deployed everywhere computing happens, from the edge to the cloud. It is essential that software developers have the tools they need to make applications perform well on these systems.
Our team is looking for a passionate software engineer to help us build the next generation of performance analysis experiences for Arm. This is a unique opportunity to apply frontend and application development skills to a diverse set of user challenges, from CPU microarchitecture optimisation to visualising power usage.

• Familiarity with the basics of modern, effective software development: source control, automated testing, object-oriented or functional paradigms and the Agile methodology.
• A “get things done” approach to shipping high-quality, robust software which is maintainable and responsive to evolving requirements.
• Passion for software engineering excellence, and motivation to improve your own skills and advocate for best practices.

• TypeScript (browser, server, and client) - Node.js, Electron, React, Visual Studio Code extensions.
• Experience of visualising complex data in web applications.
• An awareness of the hardware system architecture (pipelines, caches, MMUs, interconnect, timers, multithreading).
• An understanding of the Arm architecture.

• Work as part of a diverse team to design, deliver and refine the tools and experiences required to tune software performance on Arm hardware.
