About Cerebras Systems

Cerebras powers the world's fastest AI inference on the biggest wafer chip. Cerebras CS-4 delivers up to 30x faster inference than GPUs.

About the role

We're looking for a deeply technical, hands-on software engineer to join our on-field Kernel Reliability team. You'll help tackle a critical challenge: improving the reliability of our advanced compute clusters and the underlying inference, training, and internal production services. In this role, you'll work close to the code and design solutions that will scale with our rapidly growing system production and software service offerings.

What they're looking for

  • We recognize great engineers come from different backgrounds. If you're excited about the role, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python
  • Solid foundations in operating systems, computer architecture, and systems programming fundamentals
  • Ability to debug complex issues using logs, traces, and standard debugging workflows, interest in root-cause analysis
  • Exposure to parallel and distributed programming (message passing, multicore, GPU, embedded, etc.)
  • Experience building or using debug/diagnostic tools (debuggers, core dump handling, tracing, sanitizers, profilers, etc.)
More about this role

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; 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.

Cerebras works with the leading 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.
