<h3 class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="135" data-end="148"><strong>About the job</strong></h3> <p data-start="150" data-end="235">Build the compute kernels that make next-generation AI hardware perform at its limit.</p> <p data-start="237" data-end="440">As a Senior Software Engineer, you will create high-performance AI compute libraries for Graphcore’s next-generation hardware. Your work will sit close to the hardware, where every design choice matters.</p> <p data-start="442" data-end="665">You will own kernels for linear algebra and tensor operations, including GEMM, convolutions, reductions and fused operations. You will improve performance, correctness and numerical reliability across critical AI workloads.</p> <p data-start="667" data-end="842">This role is for engineers who enjoy hard performance problems and care deeply about quality.
You will help shape software that enables customers to get more from AI hardware.</p> <h3 data-start="844" data-end="864"><strong>The team and culture</strong></h3> <p data-start="866" data-end="1041">You will join the ML Kernels and Runtime team, an expanding group focused on high-performance compute libraries. The team works close to the hardware and close to the product.</p> <p data-start="1043" data-end="1229">Work happens through clear ownership, practical decision-making and fast technical feedback. Engineers profile, test, debug and improve the product with accountability for real outcomes.</p> <p data-start="1231" data-end="1380">You will be expected to speak up, share knowledge and help others raise the bar.
Mentoring, technical judgement and all-round leadership matter here</p> <h3><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Responsibilities and Duties</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"*** *** 41":1,"*** *** 85":720,"*** *** 91":360,"*** *** 26":"Symbol","*** *** 42":[8226],"*** *** 03":"left","*** *** 04":"","*** *** 15":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Normal (Web)">Design and implement kernels for linear algebra and tensor ops (GEMM, batched GEMM, convolutions, reductions, elementwise and fused operations) in C++</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"*** *** 17":false,"*** *** 18":false,"*** *** 38":0,"*** *** 39":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"*** *** 41":1,"*** *** 85":720,"*** *** 91":360,"*** *** 26":"Symbol","*** *** 42":[8226],"*** *** 03":"left","*** *** 04":"","*** *** 15":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Normal (Web)">Own performance and correctness -
