Job Description
Build the cloud platform that turns Graphcore AI systems into usable, scalable services. Graphcore needs a Staff Cloud Engineer to develop and deploy private and public cloud services for AI compute.
You will join the Cloud Platform team within Software Platform, close to datacentre operations and product development. Your work will shape how internal users and customers access large-scale AI systems.
You will keep critical infrastructure available while helping pre-release hardware and software become reliable cloud services. You will operate and extend OpenStack-based services, automate deployment with infrastructure-as-code, and improve observability across the fleet.
You will benchmark, validate and optimise systems spanning Graphcore hardware, servers, switches and storage.
This role suits someone who wants ownership of hard infrastructure problems, not a narrow ticket queue. Expect unproven components, direct user feedback, and decisions that move quickly into production.
Responsibilities
- Operate and extend OpenStack-based services
- Automate deployment with infrastructure-as-code using tools such as Terraform/OpenTofu, Ansible or Packer
- Improve observability across the fleet
- Benchmark, validate and optimise systems spanning Graphcore hardware, servers, switches and storage
Requirements
- Relevant degree or equivalent practical experience, with proven ability to scope and deliver technical infrastructure work
- Experience operating on-premises or private-cloud environments, with strong ownership of end-user availability
- Strong Linux system administration and scripting skills, including Bash and Python
- Hands-on experience deploying services with Infrastructure-as-Code
- Practical understanding of cloud foundations, including virtualisation, virtual networks, block storage, monitoring and observability
- Experience using Git, CI or testing pipelines and container tools

- Flexible working
- Generous leave
- Retirement planning support: Up to 5% matched pension
- Phantom equity
- Workplace experience: Enjoy thoughtfully designed office spaces for collaboration, with free food and an on-site barista
