What the job involves
* We are looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Cloud Platform Team and help develop and deploy clouds and services
* Working closely with our colleagues in Software Platform, Datacentre Operations and Product Development teams, you will deploy services on our fleet of cutting-edge AI systems
* As part of our Software Platform organisation, you will be involved in the cloud integration, validation, performance benchmarking, optimisation, and development of our high-performance AI solutions
* These include in-house AI systems alongside off-the-shelf high-performance servers, switches and storage solutions
* This is a hand-on technical role requiring a solid background in the use of cloud infrastructure, deployment using Infrastructure‑as‑Code, observability, high-performance networking and storage systems
* You may have been working in an IT organisation, a datacentre, a cloud provider or as a developer of orchestration or cloud services
* We build Graphcore products into large-scale AI solutions for our customers and the Cloud Platform Team is responsible for providing such systems to both internal users via private clouds and customers via our own public clouds. Often the internal systems will be using and developing pre-release hardware and software, so it’s vital you are comfortable with unproven components
* Develop and operate Kubernetes‑managed end‑user services on our private clouds and support internal users in their use. You will turn end‑user and product requirements into deployed services
* Work with our Datacentre Operations Engineers to maintain and operate the fleet of AI systems at peak performance in our private clouds
* Configure and test new Graphcore AI hardware and systems using Continuous Deployment and Infrastructure‑as‑code in internal and external datacentres
