Storage Architect

Graphcore is a globally recognized leader in Artificial Intelligence computing systems. The company designs advanced semiconductors and data centre hardware that provide the specialized processing power needed to drive AI innovation, while delivering the efficiency required to support its broader adoption. As part of the SoftBank Group, Graphcore is a member of an elite family of companies responsible for some of the world’s most transformative technologies. We are opening a new AI Engineering Campus in Austin, which will play a central role in Graphcore's work building the future of AI computing. About the Role We are seeking a Storage Architect to design, evaluate, and optimize the high-performance storage architectures powering our AI data centers. In AI training and inference, keeping GPUs fed with data is one of the most critical challenges; even a slight I/O bottleneck can lead to massive inefficiencies. In this role, you will be our resident expert on solid-state storage, focusing heavily on NVMe SSDs, PCIe topologies, and the Linux storage stack. You will ensure our local and distributed storage tiers deliver the microsecond predictable latency and massive throughput required for large language model (LLM) checkpointing, massive datasets, and high-speed data loading pipelines.
