Job Overview

Arm is redefining what is possible in cloud and data center computing. Our Neoverse platforms are helping power the next generation of infrastructure – combining advanced silicon with the system software required to turn ambitious technology into production-ready solutions.

We have a requirement for a Staff Software Engineer in the Infrastructure Solutions Software team in our CE-SW group. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with responsibility for leading and developing a team of engineers delivering complex software for our cloud and data center products.

You will provide technical direction to the team, develop engineering capability and drive effective delivery across SoC, firmware and system software.

This is an opportunity to make an impact at scale!

Responsibilities

You will:

  • Lead and develop a team of engineers, providing technical direction, coaching and line management while remaining hands-on.
  • Drive the team’s technical execution across SoC, firmware and system software from pre-silicon through silicon bring-up and production readiness.
  • Drive engineering planning and execution, translating requirements into technical tasks, estimates and deliverables for the team.
  • Collaborate across hardware, software, architecture and other engineering teams to manage dependencies, resolve technical issues and deliver high-quality software.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Strong experience delivering complex system software within the embedded or infrastructure SoC space.
  • Experience leading and developing engineers, with strong technical leadership and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong knowledge of low-level systems, including bootloaders, device drivers, OS fundamentals (preferably Linux), and computer architecture.
  • Strong background in C (or a similar language) programming, with proven skills in debugging and optimising software.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams.

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.
