We are building the future of computing, on Arm. We want to make Arm-based hardware the natural choice for ML in the datacenter. To that end, we truly believe that major machine learning frameworks used to run AI must be highly performant.
Our team is a diverse, dedicated and inclusive group from all over the world based in Arm's stylish offices at the heart of Manchester. We work on all aspects of researching, developing and delivering highly optimised ML frameworks into the Arm ecosystem across many ML models.
This role will directly contribute to key open source ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. In addition, Arm is owner and advocate of the underlying technologies, such as Compute Library, that act as basic building blocks to form the high-quality and performant software. In collaboration with colleagues from Manchester and Cambridge you will work on delivering optimised software for server-class hardware, and integrate it with ML software frameworks and libraries for deployment on our partner's hardware.
We work with exciting technology, help to implement new algorithms, and optimise for the latest Arm server hardware. Our work has high impact in the ML ecosystem, with possibility to engage with partners and the community.
Responsibilities:
Your role as a Senior Software Engineer will require you to:
- Optimise ML software to utilise the full potential of Arm's line of Neoverse cores for datacentre and cloud uses-cases at high core counts.
- Work with development teams based from compilers and libraries to extend the capabilities of Compute Library to meet the unique demands of ML workloads on servers.
- Improve Compute Library API to support flawless integration with ML frameworks.
- Extend ML frameworks to simplify integration with Compute Library
Required Skills and Experience :
- Software development, with very good programming skills, preferably C++ and Python.
- Excellent understanding of parallel programming primitives and constructs.
- Ability to quickly investigate and debug large software frameworks.
- Optimising code for performance.
- A real passion for software development.
- Very good interpersonal, collaboration and communication skills.
- Curiosity to make a positive impact, both in our team, and in the wider Arm ecosystem.
