About the Role

The Software (CE-SW) group is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm's next generation architectures and systems. We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to build, develop and lead a small team of AI subject-matter experts. Working hands-on alongside the team, you will partner with engineering groups across CE-SW to identify high-value opportunities and turn them into practical, measurable improvements in engineering effectiveness.

This role is hands-on, requiring both technical and people leadership. Either our Cambridge or Manchester office are suitable locations.

Responsibilities

  • Hire, develop and lead a small, high-performing team of AI subject-matter experts, creating an environment of technical excellence, collaboration and continuous learning.
  • Set the team’s priorities and roadmap, taking responsibility for the delivery of measurable outcomes across CE-SW.
  • Engage deeply with software engineering teams across projects, sites and groups, embedding team members where sustained collaboration will accelerate results.
  • Understand engineering workflows and constraints, identify high-value opportunities for AI enablement, and recommend pragmatic solutions: focus on solving problems and implementing measurable improvements, not merely widening AI adoption.
  • Establish common success measures and a group-level dashboard showing progress, trends, engineering impact and return on investment.

Required Skills and Experience

  • Experience hiring, leading and developing a team of highly skilled engineers or technical specialists.
  • Strong, current software engineering skills, with the ability to design and build working prototypes, integrations and production-quality examples rather than only advise conceptually.
  • Substantial practical experience applying generative AI or AI-assisted engineering tools to real software development workflows.
  • Experience working across organisational boundaries and influencing senior technical and business stakeholders without relying on direct authority.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage, motivate and align both specialist engineers and broader stakeholder groups.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
