Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.
Cerebras' current customers include top model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.
Thanks to the groundbreaking wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.
About the Role
We are building a high-performance SRE function to support one of the world’s fastest-growing AI inference services, powered by the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE), helping deliver infrastructure for frontier-class models from leading model builders such as OpenAI.
This role offers immediate ownership of real production systems at a growing scale, direct mentorship from seasoned engineers, and close collaboration with incoming Staff SREs who will focus on long-term automation. After ~1 month of shared hands-on operations with the Staff engineers, you’ll primarily operate the current setup, bring up new capacity in high-stakes environments and help bring new continuous delivery pipelines into production use.
If you thrive in high-ownership SRE roles at scale and want to help shape a team from the ground up in cutting-edge AI Inference infrastructure, this is your chance.
This role does not require 24/7 on-call rotations.
