Senior Director, System Software
Graphcore · Bristol, England · Posted 8 days ago
"Lead the system software organisation delivering firmware, drivers and OpenBMC for Graphcore's AI systems, owning platform bring-up through production release and long-term support."
About the job
Lead the system software organisation that turns complex hardware platforms into reliable Graphcore systems. As Director of System Software, you will report to the VP of Software and turn software strategy into clear priorities, plans and outcomes. You will lead the teams delivering firmware, drivers, OpenBMC and system software QA. Your work will shape platform bring-up, production release and long-term support across Graphcore systems. You will align technical decisions with business priorities, delivery milestones and product readiness. You will build a strong engineering organisation, developing managers, technical leaders and engineers. You will own execution, quality and cross-functional delivery across hardware, silicon, software and product teams.
This is a role for a leader who can think big, act fast and take responsibility for complex system outcomes.
The team and culture
System Software works close to the hardware, where small decisions can shape product reliability at scale. The team operates through clear ownership, evidence-based planning and direct technical debate. You will lead managers and specialists across firmware, drivers, OpenBMC and QA. Decisions are made through engineering judgement, clear trade-offs and a strong focus on delivery impact. You will be expected to speak up, challenge assumptions and help resolve issues across hardware and software boundaries. Pace matters, but so do maintainability, security and long term quality.
