## Description

Your work will support large-scale AI systems built from Graphcore hardware, high-performance servers, networks and storage. These systems help engineers validate, benchmark and optimise the platforms behind advanced AI compute.

You will use Infrastructure-as-Code, observability and automation to deploy, test and improve cloud infrastructure. You will also work with datacentre, software and product teams to keep critical systems performing.

This is hands-on engineering with real ownership. You will often work with pre-release hardware and software, where judgement and pace matter.

The team and culture

The Cloud Platform Team builds the systems that give internal users and customers access to Graphcore AI infrastructure. Work moves from requirements to deployed services, with engineers close to the users and systems they support.

You will work across Software Platform, Datacentre Operations and Product Development. Decisions are shaped by technical evidence, user needs and the realities of operating critical infrastructure.
