Principal Software Engineer- AI Networking

The Software (CE-SW) group is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm’s next generation architectures and systems. This means working with processors and other hardware technology not yet available to the public. You will join a team of Software Engineers who share a passion for leaving their mark on the future of computing., As a Principal Software Engineer in Infrastructure Application Solutions team, you will be working on the networking software stack for AI applications. You will be owning the product technical architecture and delivery. The responsibilities include:

• Driving overall system architecture and design of all individual components of AI NW software stack to ensure flawless operation of the entire product on Arm platform.
• Benchmarking, analyzing and optimizing the network software stack to provide best performance on Arm platform for running AI workloads.
• Working with open-source communities and key global partners to craft and release key software components aligned with Arm architecture.
• Collaborate with partners and customers across the globe to build and deliver high quality networking software stacks for Arm platform., Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.

We are looking for an accomplished Software Engineer with a deep knowledge of developing high-performance networking software to be leveraged by AI frameworks.
