Graduate Software Engineer, Frameworks 2027

What you’ll work on

Help build the software that connects Graphcore hardware with the machine learning frameworks researchers and engineers rely on.

As a Graduate Software Engineer across our Frameworks team, you’ll develop software connecting Graphcore’s machine learning accelerators with frameworks including PyTorch and Triton. You’ll implement features, optimise performance, resolve defects and create tests and technical documentation. You’ll write and improve tests, investigate issues and help make the software more reliable and faster.

You’ll also write clear documentation and take part in code reviews, discussing ideas and learning from feedback. Take ownership of clearly scoped tasks, with support from experienced colleagues as you learn your way around the codebase.

How you’ll learn and grow

During the two-year programme, you’ll build your understanding of how software and hardware work together to run AI workloads.

Hands-on tasks will help you develop your knowledge of compilers and runtime software, alongside your skills in testing, debugging and documentation. Code reviews and technical discussions will give you feedback on your approach and help you learn how other engineers solve problems.

As you build confidence in the codebase, you’ll learn how to turn an idea into a software feature, investigate how it behaves and explain your work to colleagues.[

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Maths, Machine Learning, Data Science or a related field
• Hands-on experience with Python or C++, with the ability to write clear, maintainable code, tests and documentation
• Practical experience or a strong academic understanding of compiler development, ML frameworks or a computationally intensive engineering field
• An interest in AI, machine learning frameworks, high-performance software or computer architecture, with curiosity and openness to learning through feedback and technical discussions

You can demonstrate these skills through coursework, a dissertation, personal or team projects, placements, internships, open-source contributions or other relevant experience.

Relevant modules and university projects count as evidence of your compiler knowledge. Tell us what you built or investigated, how you approached it and what you learned.
