About Graphcore
How often do you get the chance to build a technology that transforms the future of humanity?
Graphcore products have set the standard in made-for-AI compute hardware and software, gaining global attention and industry acclaim. Now we are developing the next generation of artificial intelligence compute with systems that will allow AI researchers to develop more advanced models, help scientists unlock exciting new discoveries, and power companies around the world as they put AI at the heart of their business.
Graphcore recently joined SoftBank Group – bringing large and ongoing investment from one of the world’s leading backers of innovative AI companies.
Job Summary
Working as part of the Product Management team, this role is all about working with the ideas of the team to create beautiful and functional prototypes that guide the ideation process through to handoff to the engineering teams.
Such prototypes need to be functionally complete to demonstrate not only the end-user experience, but also the application architecture. The role requires being comfortable working in multiple languages, with many frameworks, and with multiple backend technologies to create working and engaging user experiences that illustrate the direction of the product.
This role will require not only a self-starting and sustaining individual, but one who is open to constructive discussions across both the internal Graphcore community as well as the external ecosystem – this will be crucial when refining ideas, product concepts and prototypes into final products.
The Team
The Product Management team at Graphcore is responsible for defining the overall product vision. This includes market research, customer feedback, managing requirements and roadmaps across functional teams and acting on feedback and data analysis.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Taking ideas through to working deployed prototypes.
- Fast-iterating these ideas and prototypes with both the product team and the broader community within Graphcore.
- Stay up-to-date and immersed in the AI/ML software ecosystem in order to translate and match Graphcore software to the needs of that ecosystem.
- Liaising with customers and the ecosystem and bringing these learnings into the product team and associated prototypes.
Candidate Profile
Essential:
- Demonstrable full-stack development experience including one or more modern JavaScript frameworks.
- Cloud-Ops experience in deploying and managing web apps on one of the major hyperscalers.
- SQL design and deployment experience with one of the major implementations (e.g. PostgreSQL).
- Strong leadership and communication skills – this role not only requires designing and building prototypes, but also then communication and leading development teams in creating the end products.
Desirable
- AI/ML experience in either training or deploying models
- Kubernetes knowledge
- Mobile application development
- IoT/embedded development
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). We offer a range of healthy food and snacks at our central Bristol office and have our own barista bar! We welcome people of different backgrounds and experiences; we’re committed to building an inclusive work environment that makes Graphcore a great home for everyone. We offer an equal opportunity process and understand that there are visible and invisible differences in all of us. We can provide a flexible approach to interview and encourage you to chat to us if you require any reasonable adjustments

What We Do
Graphcore has created a 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.
Our next generation 3D Wafer-on-Wafer Bow IPU systems are helping AI innovators worldwide to build better, more innovative AI solutions, whether their focus is on language and vision, exploring graph neural networks and LSTMs or creating something entirely new.
We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for artificial intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore’s IPU is going to be transformative across all industries and sectors whether you are a medical researcher, roboticist or building autonomous cars.
Our team is at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, enabling innovators from all industries and sectors to expand human potential with technology. What we do, really makes a difference.
We're always interested in hearing from exceptional people to join our team.
