Develop software that integrates Graphcore AI hardware with machine learning frameworks by contributing to compiler, framework, and performance improvements.
About the job
Build the software that helps machine learning developers get more from Graphcore hardware. As a Graduate Software Engineer in our Triton team, you will help connect Graphcore accelerators with the ML frameworks developers use every day.
Your work will make our software easier to use, more reliable and more performant for real AI workloads. You will learn how compilers, frameworks and hardware interact in a production engineering setting.
You will contribute to features, tests, documentation, code reviews and performance improvements across a complex codebase. You will be supported by experienced engineers while taking ownership of meaningful work early.
This role suits a curious graduate who wants to grow deep technical skills and see their code make a practical difference.
The Team & Culture
The Frameworks team makes Graphcore hardware work smoothly with tools such as PyTorch, Triton, JAX and TensorFlow. The team sits close to compilers, runtime software and hardware, so you will learn from different technical perspectives.
Work is organised through SCRUM, with clear priorities, regular feedback and shared accountability. You will own well-scoped tasks, ask questions early and build confidence through reviews, testing and documentation.
Decisions are shaped by technical evidence, user impact and open discussion. Engineers are expected to speak up, challenge assumptions and improve how the team works.
What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Maths, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.
Hands-on experience with Python or C++, gained through study, projects, placements, internships or open source.
Practical experience or strong academic understanding of compiler development
Interest in AI, machine learning frameworks, high performance software or computing architectures.Ability to write clear, maintainable code, tests and documentation
Curiosity, ownership and willingness to learn through feedback, code reviews and technical discussion.
Benefits
Flexible working:Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility
Generous leave:Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work
