About the Job

Make AI accelerator hardware feel native inside Kubernetes clusters.

As a Staff Cloud Software Engineer, you will build Go services that connect accelerator hardware with Kubernetes. You will own software components that turn complex compute capability into a usable platform experience.

Your work will shape how AI workloads discover, access, and scale across cluster infrastructure. That means designing production services where reliability, performance, and observability are part of the architecture.

You will build CRDs, operators, and Kubernetes components for ML and platform teams. You will partner with hardware, cloud, and ML engineers on design choices and roadmap priorities.

This is a senior IC role with room to set direction. You will mentor engineers, raise code quality, and help define how Graphcore delivers cloud-native AI compute.
