About the job

Build the debugger that helps developers unlock more from Graphcore AI processors.

As a Senior Software Engineer in our Debugger team, you will help define and implement Graphcore’s next-generation debugging capability. Your work will support developers building and optimising workloads on our advanced AI processors.

You will adapt and expand debugger functionality, resolving complex issues across software and hardware boundaries. The tools you build will help internal and external users understand behaviour, improve performance and move faster.

You will work closely with software, firmware, hardware, partner and customer teams. This role offers rare depth across processor architecture, toolchains and real developer workflows.

The team and culture

Work happens close to the technology, with engineers expected to investigate deeply, speak up and take ownership. The team uses Agile ways of working to keep progress visible and decisions moving.

You will collaborate across software, firmware and hardware teams to identify debug feature opportunities. Decisions are shaped by technical evidence, user needs and the judgement of engineers closest to the problem.

What we’re looking for

· Experience using debuggers to resolve complex program issues.
· Strong low-level programming skills in C, C++ or Rust.
· Strong understanding of processor architectures.
· Ability to communicate clearly across software, firmware and hardware teams.
· A proactive, self-driven approach to improving product quality and functionality.
· Familiarity with compiler toolchains, debugging protocols, Python, IDE development or PyTorch.

While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. We also welcome engineers returning to the profession after a career break, including through returnship routes.

Benefits

· Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility
· Generous leave: Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work
· Retirement planning support: Up to 5% matched pension
· Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success
· Workplace experience: Enjoy thoughtfully designed office spaces for collaboration, with free food and an on-site barista to support your day
· Peace of mind protection: Income protection and life assurance to provide financial security for you and your loved ones
· Flexible benefits: Tailor your benefits package with a choice of additional options, including private medical insurance and dental cover
· Optional benefits: Dental cover, health cash plan, private medical insurance, cycle to work scheme, give as you earn

We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work.
We’re an equal opportunity employer and recognise that everyone brings different strengths and perspectives. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, just let us know - we’re happy to support you.
