Founded just over five years ago, Graphcore's growth and impact has been little short of staggering. We believe we're in a unique position as a new wave of machine learning technology begins to emerge. We see a world where technology enhances human potential and takes us into a new era of intelligence and progress that everyone can benefit from.

What we can achieve over the next few years will re-shape businesses around the world.

Graphcore has created a completely new processor, the Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU), specifically designed for artificial intelligence. The IPU’s unique architecture means developers can run current machine learning models orders of magnitude faster. More importantly, it lets AI researchers undertake entirely new types of work, not possible using current technologies, to drive the next great breakthroughs in general machine intelligence.

The Team

Graphcore’s Customer Engineering team guides our customers as they begin their journey on IPU. We work with engineers and researchers at innovative organisations across the world to implement and optimise their cutting-edge Machine Learning Applications using our IPUs, Poplar SDK and frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Within this role, you will have the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art models in variety of disciplines, including computer vision, natural language processing and more; learning how to deliver compelling application performance using IPU; and becoming an expert user of our technology.

Your responsibilities

  • Implement machine learning models using common frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. 
  • Read contemporary machine learning literature to build an understanding of new models as we encounter them. 
  • Develop new operators using C++ and our Poplar software stack 
  • Use our PopVision tools to optimise models for memory and performance. 
  • Work closely with the Field, Software and Product Support teams to ensure that bugs and features are correctly scoped and prioritised. 
  • Provide customers with written and verbal technical updates  

Graduates at Graphcore

A tailored onboarding and induction programme, that will get you up to speed with life at Graphcore, including a deep understanding of how the business operates. During your induction experts will host knowledge sharing sessions, providing you the opportunity to build your network.

Once in your team, you can expect hands on experience from day one and make a real contribution.  A typical day would involve working closely with peers and your manager to solve challenges as they arise.

You will also benefit from a buddy, mentor and access to talent development team that will support your softer skill development.
