About the job 

Build the Linux distribution foundation that turns upstream software into trusted Graphcore platform releases. 

You will help create the Linux distribution that powers Graphcore AI systems. The team produces production-ready system images from proven upstream distributions. 

Your work will shape how releases are built, validated and prepared for deployment. You will strengthen the engineering path from upstream Linux software to dependable platform releases. 

You will build and improve automated pipelines, run established Linux test suites, and diagnose issues across build and validation flows. As the platform evolves, you will introduce controlled configuration and tuning changes with evidence-led validation. 

This is hands-on systems engineering with visible impact. You will help define reliable processes for a new team building a critical part of Graphcore’s platform. 

The team and culture 

You will join one of Graphcore’s newest engineering teams, helping shape its culture from the start. It is a small, co-located team where ownership matters and progress is visible. 

Work happens through close technical discussion, practical problem-solving and evidence-led decisions. Ideas are challenged openly, and the best path wins regardless of hierarchy. 

You will report to a leader who values technical credibility and invests in people’s growth. The team moves with pace, takes responsibility and changes direction when the evidence demands it. 

What we're looking for 

• Strong practical experience working in Linux environments 

• Experience building or maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines for reliable engineering workflows 

• Proficiency in Python, Bash or similar scripting languages 

• Experience with Linux image creation, provisioning or system installation 

• Ability to diagnose failures in automated build or test environments 

• Confidence using established tools while continuously improving engineering quality 

While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate. 

Benefits 

• Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility 

• Comprehensive healthcare and dental cover: Premium medical and dental insurance, with the option to extend cover to your family 

• Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success 

• Fitness and wellbeing support: A fully funded Medicover gym card, giving you access to a wide range of gyms, fitness classes and leisure centres 

• Financial protection: Death and disability insurance, providing financial security for you and your loved ones 

• Retirement savings: Build your financial future, with a 4% employer contribution from Graphcore, alongside your own contributions 

• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP): Confidential advice and support for you and your family across a range of personal, financial and wellbeing matters 

We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work. 
We’re an equal opportunity employer and recognise that everyone brings different strengths and perspectives. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, just let us know - we’re happy to support you.
