Technical Product Owner

Description

Turn product intent into the technical work that moves AI compute forward.

As a Technical Product Owner, you will help component-based software teams deliver clear, prioritised and meaningful outcomes. You will connect product intent, engineering delivery and cross-team coordination.

Your work will support software that spans bare metal silicon through to the machine learning tools stack. You will make complex systems easier to plan, explain and deliver.

You will own component backlogs, shape roadmaps, refine epics and stories, and support sprint and PI planning. You will also surface dependencies, risks and trade-offs early.

This role suits someone who brings calm, clarity and momentum to technical teams. You will help engineers focus on the work that matters most.

The team and culture

You will work with component-based software teams across Graphcore’s engineering organisation. These teams build across the full AI compute stack, from silicon-level software to ML tools.

Work happens through clear planning, practical discussion and fast feedback. You will help teams visualise progress, involve the right people and make delivery risks visible early.

Decisions are shaped by product outcomes, technical evidence and team insight. You will encourage open challenge, protect focus and enable empowered decision-making.
