Job Summary

We decide whether entire racks of machines are good enough to enter production. Our team measures and evaluates large-scale Linux systems—from a single rack to data-centre scale. We don’t just run benchmarks; we determine whether a system behaves correctly, and whether it is reliable enough to be trusted.

The work spans designing workloads, building execution systems, and interpreting results. A measurement is only useful if it leads to a decision.

You won’t be confined to a narrow role. Some engineers here focus on infrastructure, others on workloads or analysis—but everyone contributes to understanding system behaviour at scale. You are free to specialise, but as a team we are responsible for leaving no gaps.

You might find yourself:

• Expanding measurement coverage from small clusters to full racks
• Designing workloads that expose system behaviour
• Building systems to run experiments across large clusters
• Interpreting results and defining what “good enough” looks like

This is not a pure infrastructure or data role. The work combines systems engineering, measurement, and judgement.

We’re looking for engineers who are comfortable working where the right answer isn’t obvious, and where careful measurement matters more than output volume.

Selection criteria:

Our engineers typically bring significant practical experience and sound engineering judgement. Depth in one area is valued, but the ability to work across boundaries is equally important.

Essential

• Strong software engineering experience, typically gained across multiple projects or systems over several years
• Experience working in Linux-based environments, ideally with distributed or high-performance systems
• Proficiency in Python
• Experience with automation and CI/CD systems (e.g. GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
• Ability to design, implement, and run experiments or tests that produce meaningful results
• Ability to interpret results and communicate findings clearly, with an emphasis on accuracy and usefulness to decision-making
• Comfortable working in areas where requirements are not fully defined and judgement is required

Desirable

• Experience working with large-scale or distributed systems (e.g. clusters, cloud platforms, HPC environments)
• Experience with performance, reliability, or systems-level testing/measurement
• Familiarity with pytest or similar frameworks for structured test/measurement execution
• Experience analysing system behaviour under load (compute, network, or ML workloads)
• Experience working with containerisation, orchestration, or provisioning systems (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, OpenStack)
• Proficiency in other applications programming languages (e.g. C++)
• Exposure to data analysis, statistics, or interpreting variability in results
  

Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary, Graphcore offers flexible working, a generous annual leave policy, private medical insurance and health cash plan, a dental plan, pension (matched up to 5%), life assurance and income protection. We have a generous parental leave policy and an employee assistance programme (which includes health, mental wellbeing, and bereavement support).

Job Summary

We turn large-scale system measurements into decisions. Our team runs workloads across clusters of machines and collects detailed performance data. The challenge isn’t running the measurements—it’s deciding what they mean, and whether a system is good enough to enter production.

You will work with results from real systems and help answer questions like:

• Is this system behaving as expected?
• Is performance stable enough to trust?
• Does this meet the criteria to enter production?
  
  

This work includes systems engineering and analysis. It involves understanding variability, repeatability, and the differences between signal and noise.

You won’t be confined to a single role. You may shape measurements, influence how they are run, or improve how results are interpreted. You are free to specialise, but the team is responsible for leaving no gaps.

This is not a dashboarding or reporting role in the traditional sense. The goal is to produce outputs that support real engineering decisions.

We’re looking for engineers who:

• Think carefully about uncertainty and evidence
• Prefer clarity over presentation
• Are comfortable challenging conclusions when data is weak

Selection criteria:

Our engineers typically bring significant practical experience and sound engineering judgement.

Depth in one area is valued, but the ability to work across boundaries is equally important.

Job Summary  

Reporting to a Team Lead in the frameworks team you will play a pivotal role in designing, implementing, optimising, maintaining and supporting the software required to ensure the machine learning accelerators that Graphcore develop enjoy first-class support in state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Triton (note: “Triton” here refers to the Triton language/compiler and not the inference framework).  

This role sees you joining our Triton team, where you will be part of a SCRUM team working on delivering new features, optimise performance, reviewing code changes, writing technical documentation, working with upstream communities, maintaining the code base and supporting users.  

In this role you will closely collaborate with other engineers, both within the Triton team as well as other engineering teams. You help the team coordinate and deliver complex, open-ended technical tasks. You are pro-active and an excellent communicator. You will develop deep expertise in the Triton project and will (in time) contribute to the team’s technical direction and processes. You understand the importance of managing code quality and code complexity and balancing this against the need to deliver business outcomes. 

Note that the job title and associated benefits will be tailored to the successful candidate’s level of experience at the job offer stage to one of Software Engineer, Staff Engineer, Senior Staff Engineer, Principal Software Engineer or Senior Principal Software Engineer. Note that as the machine learning software landscape is quite fast moving and as such flexibility is essential – over time you may be asked to work on teams other than Triton. 

The Team 

The Frameworks team ensures Graphcore hardware works seamlessly with the tools that ML engineers and researchers love – Pytorch, Triton, Jax and TensorFlow. We’re a talented and diverse team of engineers and we foster a culture of collaboration, openness and learning. All our software teams follow agile working practices, and we care deeply about both ease-of-use as well as performance. We work closely work with other Graphcore teams as well as leading open-source communities.  

By joining us, you’ll join our exciting journey on the cutting edge of the machine learning industry. Your contributions will make a real difference – enabling machine learning engineers and researchers to unlock the full potential of Graphcore’s hardware.
