Job description

Location: Bristol, UK Start date: September 2027 Application deadline : Midnight, 29th November 2026 We encourage you to apply early, as we may close applications before the advertised deadline. The Graduate Programme at Graphcore Join Graphcore in a permanent role and start your career with two years of hands-on learning. From day one, you’ll be trusted to take ownership, share your ideas and help shape what we’re creating. You’ll tackle challenging problems alongside a team who support your development and are as excited about your success as you are.

It collects profiling information, processes it and turns it into insight that developers can use. You’ll learn from experienced engineers through practical engineering, regular code reviews and open technical discussions. You’ll be supported to test ideas and build confidence as you develop features and solve problems. Decisions are driven by profiling data, customer needs and team experience. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, challenge existing approaches and share ideas for making things better. Take responsibility for your work and speak up when you spot a problem or need support. How you’ll learn and grow During the two-year programme, you’ll build practical experience in software development, testing and performance profiling, working across libraries, command-line tools and graphical applications. Hands-on debugging and code reviews will help you develop your engineering judgement: how to investigate a problem, test an approach and use feedback to improve your work.
