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.
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. If you have strong fundamentals in systems, debugging, and failure analysis—and enjoy building tools and solving hard reliability problems—we want to hear from you. New college graduates are welcome.
