Technology Owner

About the job

Shape the infrastructure work that keeps Graphcore software moving at scale.

As Technology Owner, you will turn software infrastructure priorities into clear, actionable work. You will connect product intent, engineering delivery and cross-team coordination.

Your work will help a 30-person Software Infrastructure team build, test and support the platforms used across Graphcore software. You will bring clarity to complex dependencies, delivery choices and roadmap decisions.

You will own and refine backlogs, shape PI plans, support sprint delivery and coordinate across technical teams. You will work closely with Technology Managers, Technology Owners, technical leads and engineers.

This role suits someone who brings calm, structure and technical curiosity to complex work. You will help teams move faster without losing quality, context or purpose.

The team and culture

You will work with the Software Infrastructure team, which provides platforms and services for the wider Software organisation. Their work supports how Graphcore teams build, test and develop software.

Work is planned in increments, shaped through backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and demos. Decisions are made through close engagement with engineers, technical leads and product partners.

You will give multiple sub-teams clear direction and well-defined deliverables. You will also surface risks early, speak up on trade-offs and help teams stay aligned.

Requirements

• Experience working as a Product Owner, Technology Owner or similar role in an agile engineering setting.

• Strong backlog management skills, with the judgement to connect work to product outcomes.

• Ability to simplify complex information for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong facilitation skills, with the ability to guide discussions towards clear decisions.

• Technical understanding of software development, testing or infrastructure, with curiosity to learn more.

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.
