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 to build AI-native products to expand human potential. What we do at Graphcore really makes a difference.

What we value

Our experience tells us that companies succeed when diverse people come together with a shared purpose.

At Graphcore, we are dedicated to developing a diverse and inclusive workplace, where every person feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. We recognize that a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and identities drives innovation and fuels progress. That's why we are committed to building a company work culture that supports, celebrates, and includes all individuals, regardless of their background.

We understand that disabilities can present unique challenges and barriers to participation in the workplace, and we are dedicated to providing accommodations and support to all our employees.

WE BELIEVE DIVERSITY LEADS TO BETTER DECISION-MAKING, MORE IMPACTFUL TECHNOLOGY, AND BETTER PRODUCTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE+I) initiatives are an integral part of our commitment to developing and retaining a diverse workforce. We acknowledge that our industry has historically been dominated by a narrow demographic, and we are committed to doing our part to change that and continuously work to ensure that everyone feels empowered to reach their full potential at Graphcore.

Our Culture

We have developed a strong culture at Graphcore that encourages people to come together through many shared interests and activities. You can take part in ML reading groups, board games and book clubs. Join a morning yoga session, lunchtime run, after work watersports and other activities. And enjoy regular social events and year-round fundraising efforts, such as the “Graphcore Bake Off”.

There is a safe space for everyone to be heard at our company, including members of the LGBTQI+ community, women+ and other underrepresented minority groups within the technology sector.

We are a proud ally of Stonewall and support all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.

Benefits for you

Exceptional people deserve the best we can provide, as well as the freedom to make choices that work for them and their loved ones.

Graphcore offers generous employee benefits, including share options that give all our employees a stake in the company's future success.

We trust you to manage your work whether you are in the office or at home and understand the importance of balancing family responsibilities and other life commitments. Our flexible working hours mean you can do the school run and take the breaks you need while being accountable for delivering your work to the best of your ability and contributing to your team. Plus, always start your day right with free snacks and coffee, made by on-site baristas across all of our offices.

Work-Life Balance

We believe you should have a good work-life balance. Everyone's situation is different, so we offer flexible working arrangements and start and finish times, allowing you to choose when to work from home or come into the office.

We trust our employees to take the breaks they need and choose the amount of holiday they take each year, as agreed with their Line Manager. We want to ensure that our employees can take time off to recharge and spend time with their loved ones.

Moreover, we offer generous parental leave and pay benefits that go beyond the statutory minimum. We ensure employees taking leave when starting, extending or supporting their families are given the necessary time and financial support.

Wellbeing

We want to ensure that our employees have the resources and support they need to prioritize their health and wellbeing.

All Graphcore employees have access to a free and confidential Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). This programme is available 24/7 and covers health, legal and mental well-being concerns for both employees and their immediate family members. With the EAP, you can receive support for many areas of your life, including legal information, bereavement support, and medical information. Plus, get access to online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a well-being portal, and the Health e-hub app.

We also have an internal well-being team called 'Graphcare' with a mission to encourage everyone at Graphcore to enhance their well-being.

Healthcare

We offer Private Medical Insurance (PMI) to our employees to help them take care of their health and that of their loved ones.

With our PMI plan, you get access to private treatment and/or hospitals through our private healthcare provider with fully covered inpatient and outpatient visits, reduced wait times and open referrals. You can also include your partner and family members in the plan at an extra cost. Additionally, we offer comprehensive dental cover and cashback cover for everyday health treatments, such as optical and physiotherapy, where children are covered for free.

We want to ensure that our employees have access to the best possible healthcare, and our health benefits, which include discounts on gym memberships, are just one of the ways in which we support our employees' health.

Progression

We prioritize learning and development as an integral part of our culture at Graphcore. Our Talent Development team is dedicated to equipping all our employees with the necessary tools, resources, and support to enhance their skills and reach their full potential in their careers.

We believe that learning opportunities should be practical, easily accessible, and diverse. To this end, we offer development conversations to all our employees, which allows them to discuss their personal development plans. We also provide access to a digital learning platform, which offers blended learning opportunities across a wide range of topics.

Furthermore, we offer in-house management and leadership workshops and networks to help our team members develop the necessary skills and behavioural capabilities required to lead others.

Pension

We believe that our employees deserve the best when it comes to planning for their future.

With a personal pension plan at Graphcore, you simply pay a percentage of your salary into the plan, and we match your contribution up to 5%. With payments via Salary Exchange, you'll see even greater savings, as your contributions will be deducted from your pre-tax income.

Of course, we understand that life can be unpredictable, which is why we offer you the option to opt-out, opt-in, or amend your contributions at any time. This means that you can make adjustments to your pension plan as your life circumstances change, ensuring that you always have a plan that works for you.

Income Protection

Graphcore understands that unforeseen circumstances can happen, and we want to ensure our employees have the necessary financial security in place.

If you are unable to return to work due to a long-term illness or injury lasting for at least 13 weeks continuously, our income protection benefit will cover 75% of your base annual salary for up to five years or until you recover and return to work. We also offer life assurance to our employees, where if the worst were to happen and you pass away while working at Graphcore, four times your basic annual salary will be paid tax-free to your loved ones.

In this transformative field, your input has the power to help entire industries and make a real difference in the world.

Whether you are at the top of your field or just starting in your career, we invite qualified individuals from all backgrounds to join us and be part of our mission to drive the future of machine intelligence.
