Machine Learning Engineer

As a Machine Learning Engineer in the Applied AI team at Graphcore, you will contribute to advancing AI technology by developing and optimising AI models tailored to our specialised hardware. Working closely with the Software development and Research teams, you will play a critical role in finding opportunities to innovate and differentiate Graphcore’s technology. We seek engineers with strong technical skills and an understanding of AI model implementation, eager to make a tangible impact in this rapidly evolving field.

The Team

The Applied AI team’s role is to be proxies for our customers, we need to understand the latest AI models, applications, and software to ensure that Graphcore’s technology works seamlessly with the AI ecosystem. We build reference applications, contribute to key software libraries e.g. optimising kernels for efficiency on our hardware, and collaborate with the Research team to develop and publish novel ideas in domains such as efficient compute, model scaling and distributed training and inference of AI models for multiple modalities and applications.

If you're excited about advancing the next generation of AI models on cutting-edge hardware, we’d love to hear from you!

Responsibilities and Duties

  • Implement the latest machine learning models and optimise them for performance and accuracy, scaling to 1000s of accelerators.
  • Test and evaluate new internal software releases, provide feedback to software engineering teams, make vital code fixes, and conduct code reviews.
  • Benchmark models and key ML techniques to identify performance bottlenecks and improve model efficiency.
  • Design and conduct experiments on novel AI methods, implement them and evaluate results.
  • Collaborate with Research, Software, and Product teams to define, build, and test Graphcore’s next generation of AI hardware.
  • Engage with AI community and keep in touch with the latest developments in AI.

Candidate Profile

Essential skills:

  • Bachelor/Master's/PhD or equivalent experience in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Maths, Data Science, or related field.
  • Proficiency in deep learning frameworks like PyTorch/JAX.
  • Strong Python software development skills (nice to have C++/other languages).
  • Familiar with deep learning fundamentals: models, optimisation, evaluation and scaling.
  • Capable of designing, executing and reporting from ML experiments.
  • Ability to move quickly in a dynamic environment.
  • Enjoy cross-functional work collaborating with other teams.
  • Strong communicator - able to explain complex technical concepts to different audiences.

Desirable:

  • Experience in one or more of: {distributed training of large-scale ML models, building production systems with large language models, efficient computing based on low-precision arithmetic, deep learning models including large generative models for language, vision and other modalities}.
  • Experience writing C++/Triton/CUDA kernels for performance optimisation of ML models.
  • Have contributed to open-source projects or published research papers in relevant fields.
  • Knowledge of cloud computing platforms.
  • Keen to present, publish and deliver talks in the AI community.

AI Training Jobs: Your Comprehensive Guide to Launching a High-Potential Career

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from a futuristic concept to a core component of modern business strategy. As organisations increasingly embrace AI-driven systems to stay competitive, the demand for qualified professionals who can develop, implement, and train AI models has skyrocketed. In the UK—and indeed worldwide—there is a pressing need for skilled experts who understand the nuances of AI, from algorithm design to ethical considerations. For anyone seeking to enter this exciting field or pivot into a role focusing on AI training, the opportunities are abundant. This in-depth blog post will explore everything you need to know about AI training jobs, the essential skills you’ll need, the current employment landscape in the UK, and how to future-proof your career in AI.

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.
