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.
About The Role
Engineers in the CoDesign and NextGen organization work at the interface of software and hardware helping everything from high performance kernel design, next generation ASIC performance modeling and tuning, new system bringup and software tuning, system robustness and simulations.
As an new engineer you'll be expected to learn the Cerebras products and platforms end to end starting at the base layer of programming the Wafer Scale Engine through kernel development, modeling performance for our software products and validating the work through exercising it on both actual hardware and simulations.
