Are you seeking an exciting and meaningful role at the forefront of the technology industry? Are you motivated by learning new things and putting that knowledge into action?

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated data engineer to join our Productivity Engineering group. You will be part of a team based in Cambridge (UK), working closely with engineering teams across Arm’s worldwide engineering centres to build secure and scalable data solutions to enable Arm's engineering community to get value from the data.

Responsibilities:

  • Building highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed data processing systems (batch and streaming) that handle tens of terabytes of data daily, supporting a petabyte-scale data lakehouse.
  • Participate in architectural discussions, influence the product roadmap, and lead new initiatives from concept to delivery.
  • Partner with engineering to build new data flows to ensure performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
  • Data quality, governance, compliance and observability across all stages of the data lifecycle.
  • Serve as a mentor and data advocate, providing technical leadership and supporting team members within the business unit and organisation.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Degree and/or equivalent experience in engineering, computer science or a related data-intensive field.
  • Proficient with one or more programming languages (Python, Scala).
  • Hands-on experience with modern data technologies (e.g. Databricks, Spark, Kafka, and Elasticsearch).
  • Comfortable building pragmatic ETL/ELT workflows in AWS/GCP/Azure using orchestration frameworks or cloud-native tools.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in fast-paced, diverse environments.
  • Ability to present data and insights in an engaging and clear way, with strong attention to detail, and ensure data accuracy and quality.

“Nice To Have”:

  • Solid understanding of data governance, security, and compliance frameworks.
  • Experience with data visualisation (Tableau, Looker, Kibana or Power BI).
  • Experience using AI/ML data pipelines, MLOps, or related workflows and the processes around testing, monitoring, and SLAs.
  • Passion for mentoring other engineers and contributing to the development of engineering standards.


In Return:

In addition to being part of the incredible Arm journey, we offer a strong team culture, huge scope for impact across multiple engineering domains, learning opportunities, regular career conversations, an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a continuous improvement mentality.
