Arm's Userspace Performance team is looking for skilled software performance analysis engineers to lead a small group of engineers working on software performance analysis and optimisation. Successful candidates will help improve the performance of software running on Arm systems used across the world.
About the Team
You will join a team of Software Engineers who all share a passion for wanting to stamp their mark on the future of computing, wherever it may lead. If you are similarly passionate about leading edge technologies, then we want to hear from you! We investigate and solve hard problems with the goal of improving performance of software running on Arm platforms. We often look into large software stacks with sophisticated interactions. We work closely with our tooling teams and try to come up with innovative ways to identify the root causes of performance issues. We interact with different teams across Arm that can help us get more insight into problems we face or help us improve the performance of the workloads we are working on. Often we will connect with partner companies helping them to understand what performance issues they are facing. Our goals include influencing decisions that hardware design teams make to improve performance of future designs.

Desirable Skills
- Understanding how sophisticated software (including web servers, databases, mobile applications, and many others) function and what matters for performance is highly valued.
- We are seeking understanding of OS concepts such as processes, threads, locks, virtual memory and how they relate to application performance.
- Good awareness of the details of System Architecture (pipelines, caches, MMUs, interconnect, timers, multithreading) is highly useful.
- We find understanding of compiler optimizations very useful.
- Ability to reason about generated assembly code is highly desired.
- We value familiarity with open-source project development cycles and contribution processes.
- We are seeking an understanding of Arm architecture and tools.
