Work that Matters

We believe intelligence is the future of computing. Our team is at the forefront of the machine intelligence revolution, enabling innovators from all industries and sectors to expand human potential with technology. What we do, really makes a difference.

World Class Team

We hire world class people who are at the top of their field - software engineers, machine learning researchers, mathematicians, chip designers - and we constantly challenge ourselves to produce our best work together.

What we value

We welcome people of different backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive work environment that makes Graphcore a great home for everyone.

We are an equal opportunity employer and want to build a work environment where everyone is happy, productive and respectful so they can do their best work. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, just let us know.

Where we are

Our Bristol home and HQ is in the heart of the city, named as the best place to live in Britain. You'll find us in the nearby covered market for great street food at lunchtime and in the local bars (likely Brew Dog) and restaurants after work. We're a 10 minute walk to the station or to the shops of Cabot Circus.

We’re proud to be a British company and our roots in this cosmopolitan city with a long history of technology, run deep. We also have an engineering centre in Oslo, Norway, and offices in Palo Alto, US, with London and Beijing opening soon.

Life at Graphcore

Working at Graphcore is challenging and rewarding. In addition to your salary, we provide tangible benefits, including pension, health insurance and life cover. All employees receive share options, giving everyone a stake in the future success of the business.

Exceptional people deserve the best we can provide, as well as the freedom to make choices that work for them and their loved ones. We trust people to work from home occasionally, or do the school run when they need to, and to choose the amount of holiday they take.

Our office team is around to help out with the small stuff, so people can concentrate on what’s important both personally and professionally. We have a kitchen well stocked with breakfast food, fruit, snacks and drinks and our very own barista.

"Graphcore has a strong position in an extremely exciting industry with the potential to be a leader in AI hardware – the opportunity to be part of a company like this from the start doesn’t come around very often. As a Research Engineer I get to spend my days learning about Machine Intelligence and researching problems that I find interesting. The company invests in the team, helping you to constantly develop and improve your skills and allowing you to take responsibility for the work you do – both how you solve the problems and how you balance your time. Furthermore, being surrounded by talented engineers with a very wide range of expertise means there is always someone to learn from"

Dominic Masters
Research Engineer, Graphcore Research
“As a chip designer I enjoy interacting with our diverse teams of AI research, library development and physical design. Chip design is a collaborative effort and positive team dynamic is what makes it enjoyable. Graphcore operates at the bleeding edge of the fabless semiconductor industry. Although vital ingredients like state-of-the-art technology, EDA tools and equipment are all present, I think, it is the people, our culture, a relaxed and cooperative environment that makes all the difference. Three words to describe the company culture? Open, transparent, innovative.”

“Graphcore is an exciting company to be part of, with lots of smart and interesting people working together. As a Software Engineer I enjoy working on challenging and meaningful projects where my contributions are appreciated. Graphcore is a young company with lots of room to quickly grow professionally, which is a unique opportunity for someone who has recently graduated from university (and we also have an office dog!).”

“Graphcore is a great company to work for as there is a very positive working environment, everyone is friendly and there is even an office dog. As a Test Engineer I enjoy communicating with other engineers to create a working test solution. It’s nice to be able to use a mixture of software and real hardware on a day to day basis. Graphcore’s company culture is friendly, open and fun.”
