We are looking for a skilled and hardworking compiler engineer who is passionate about producing quality software to join our engineering team.

In the course of this role, you'll have the opportunity to learn about and use the world-leading supercomputers that we support. Our tools are used by industry, government and academia to perform ground breaking scientific research and simulations, such as weather forecasting, modelling the big bang and simulating the human brain.

You shall help develop our commercial LLVM based compilers (C/C++ and Fortran), analysing and improving the performance of workloads running on Arm hardware. You will also work closely with the LLVM community, making contributions to the open-source LLVM compiler.

This framework is used internally by the Architecture team in the development of those designs and externally to support our commercial HPC compiler, and to push forward the capabilities of the open source LLVM framework. You can also expect to work on upstreaming code to the open source LLVM community. Develop our automated test frameworks to defend the functionality and performance of our commercial HPC compiler. You will work in our office in the heart of Manchester, where you will be steps away from the dynamic life of the city centre. You will be expected to occasionally travel to events and meet with our partners. Job Requirements Essential skills and experience: C and/or C++ programming. Effectively communicating to persuade and influence internal or external partners. Application of software methodologies, tools, and processes including code review.
