Job SummaryWe are seeking a Data Scientist / Data Analyst to transform large-scale infrastructure and hardware-level telemetry into actionable insights, predictive intelligence, and automated decision systems.
Working closely with telemetry platform engineers, you will analyze data across the full stack - from data center infrastructure down to chip-level signals (power, thermals, performance counters, reliability indicators) to detect anomalies, predict failures, and optimize system behaviour. This role complements telemetry engineering by extracting intelligence from observability systems and enabling data-driven control loops.
You will operate at the intersection of data science, distributed systems, and infrastructure observability.
Key Responsibilities
Data Analysis & Modelling
- Analyse large-scale telemetry datasets (metrics, logs, events) across multiple layers: data center (clusters, networking, cooling), system (servers, accelerators), silicon-level (on-chip sensors, performance counters, voltage, thermal, error signals).
- Develop anomaly detection models for infrastructure-level events and hardware/silicon anomalies (e.g., thermal hotspots, voltage instability, error rate drift).
- Build predictive models for fault detection and failure forecasting (e.g., hardware degradation, thermal issues, network anomalies).
- Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to identify patterns and root causes.
Automation & Intelligence
- Design automated remediation strategies informed by both system and hardware-level signals.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate models into observability and control systems.
- Enable closed-loop optimization using real-time hardware telemetry streams.
Data Engineering Collaboration
- Work with telemetry engineers on data ingestion pipelines, ensuring data quality and usability.
- Help define schemas, feature extraction pipelines, and aggregation strategies (e.g., down-sampling, windowing).
- Optimize use of time-series databases and analytics platforms.
Visualization & Reporting
- Build dashboards and visualizations for operational insights (Grafana, Superset, etc.).
- Present complex data in clear, actionable formats for engineering and leadership.
- Define KPIs and health metrics for infrastructure systems.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with platform, hardware, and software teams to understand system behaviour.
- Support debugging, performance analysis, and benchmarking efforts using telemetry data.
- Contribute to reference designs and best practices for observability and analytics.
Skills and Experience
Essential:
- BSc/MSc/PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or related field.
- Strong experience with time-series data analysis and large-scale telemetry datasets.
- Proficiency in Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, ML frameworks).
- Experience with:
- Anomaly detection techniques (statistical + ML-based)
- Predictive modeling and forecasting
- Signal processing techniques (filtering, smoothing, FFT or similar is a plus)
- Data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Tableau, Plotly)
- Familiarity with:
- Time-series databases (e.g., Prometheus, InfluxDB)
- Observability stacks and monitoring systems
- Strong understanding of data pipelines and distributed systems.
- Excellent communication skills - ability to translate data insights into engineering actions.
Desirable:
- Experience with data center infrastructure, hardware telemetry and cloud platforms.
- Knowledge of monitoring, observability and management solutions in use by hyperscalers.
- Familiarity with root cause analysis in distributed systems.
- Experience deploying models into production.
- Understanding of system architecture (CPU/GPU/accelerators, networking) .
- Experience with real-time analytics frameworks (Kafka, Flink, Spark).
Benefits
- Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility
- Comprehensive healthcare and dental cover: Premium medical and dental insurance, with the option to extend cover to your family
- Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success
- Fitness and wellbeing support: A fully funded Medicover gym card, giving you access to a wide range of gyms, fitness classes and leisure centres
- Financial protection: Death and disability insurance, providing financial security for you and your loved ones
- Retirement savings: Build your financial future, with a 4% employer contribution from Graphcore, alongside your own contributions
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP): Confidential advice and support for you and your family across a range of personal, financial and wellbeing matters
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.
