Job Title

We are looking for an outstanding software engineer with strong CI and automation expertise to build the validation infrastructure behind Arm’s performance methodologies and telemetry tools. You’ll help make performance evaluation on Arm platforms repeatable, scalable, and trustworthy on current and next-generation Arm systems.

About The Team

We build Arm’s Telemetry solution—a set of open‑source reference tools that demonstrate Arm’s performance methodologies across compute subsystems (CPU, interconnects, memory systems, and more). We collaborate with architects across Arm IP groups to turn their methodologies into practical tooling. Our work enables Arm’s internal performance teams, partners, and the wider open‑source community.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and evolve CI infrastructure that validates performance methodologies across cloud, on-prem, and hardware targets.
  • Design controlled, reproducible test environments that help distinguish real regressions from environmental noise when running and profiling targeted workloads.
  • Help build synthetic workloads and targeted microbenchmarks (occasionally in Arm assembly) that help in our validation efforts.
  • Work with architects & analysis teams to understand performance methodologies and embed this knowledge into validation strategies.
  • Partner with IP and silicon teams to ensure that tools and methodologies work well on the next generation of Arm products.
  • Ensure that our testing scales with the ever growing demand for new methodologies, tools, IP and physical designs.

How We Work

  • Nobody checks every box. We value learning velocity and curiosity about how compute systems really work. We give engineers time to build the Arm-specific hardware and performance-analysis context needed for the role.
  • Engineers typically own larger features end-to-end, which gives space to build deep expertise in the domain. You won't be alone in the process: We’re collaborative, and incrementally do code design and review as a team.

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.
