Job Overview:

The Open-Source Software (OSS) team is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm's next generation of applications processors. This frequently means working with processors and other hardware technology not yet available to the public. We work on a range of development platforms, software-models, FPGAs and early silicon, sometimes many months before the processors are used in real products.

You will have the opportunity to build upon your existing background, knowledge and expertise, provide performance analysis and optimizations to vital open source databases for the Arm architecture. Your contributions will help drive the improvement of popular databases from both the performance and features perspectives. We seek individuals with exposure and knowledge of every level of the database ecosystem across various components and solutions. If you are similarly passionate about innovative technologies, then we want to hear from you!
Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with internal/external partners to understand enterprise database related requirements on Arm servers.

• Helping develop, optimize and deliver the software needed to support Arm's ground-breaking IP.
• Collaborating with other architects/engineers to influence Arm technology.
• Be flexible, with a variety of software development skills and a commitment to extend the breadth and depth of knowledge.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Experience in other programming languages, e.g. Java, Go, Python, etc.
• Understanding of I/O and networking and their impact on server-side application performance.
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL or MySQL internals.
• Good understanding of concepts such as CPU pipelines, caches, MMU and NUMA, and how these hardware factors impact high-level software performance.
• Familiarity with the Arm architecture v8.
