Excerpt from the original posting
Location: Bristol, London or Cambridge, UK About the job Help scale state-of-the art AI models across thousands of accelerators. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in the Applied AI team, you will contribute to advancing AI technology by developing and optimising new and existing AI models for our specialised hardware. You will work on large scale systems where performance is critical to the success of our projects. Having visibility of the entire pipeline from novel accelerator hardware to state-of-the-art AI applications, and the software stack in-between, you will play a critical role in identifying opportunities to innovate and differentiate Graphcore’s technology. Furthermore, you’ll work closely with researchers in a rapidly-evolving field, where even the most senior engineers are constantly learning and adapting to exciting new challenges. We seek engineers with strong technical foundations who are curious and eager to understand and advance AI model implementation, at scale. We currently have multiple opportunities available in the team at Senior, Staff and Principal level and offer flexibility through a hybrid working model, from any of our UK offices. If you're excited about advancing the next generation of AI models on cutting-edge hardware, we’d love to hear from you! The team and culture The Applied AI team’s role is to be proxies for our customers, we need to understand the latest AI models, applications, and software, as well as our own hardware and software stack, to ensure that Graphcore’s technology works seamlessly with the AI ecosystem and at scale. Our work spans from low-level kernel development and optimisation for novel hardware through to implementing and scaling research-level algorithms for the latest AI models. We collaborate with the Research team to develop and publish novel ideas in domains such as efficient compute, model scaling and distributed training and inference of AI models for multiple modalities and applications. Responsibilities - Implement and train state-of-the-art machine learning models and optimise for performance, accuracy and scalability across systems comprising 1000s of accelerators. - Benchmark and profile ML models to identify performance bottlenecks. - Develop deep understanding across the software stack in order to optimise kernel implementations. …
