Job description

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

Cerebras Systems is a pioneer in large-scale AI Supercomputers. These multi-exaflop supercomputers are deployed in some of the biggest datacenters. These supercomputers are built using our Wafer-Scale Cluster technology - a cluster of several Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) chips. The Cluster engineering team is responsible for delivering software that are all-things related to cluster.

Responsibilities

• Automate bare-metal configuration of networking, OS, and application software in large clusters of Cerebras WSE, servers, and switches.

• Additional push button workflows for cluster upgrades, downgrades, and security patching with key metrics to minimize downtime on clusters.

• An orchestration and scheduler system for resource allocation, job submission C placements for a multi-user environment on a cluster.

• Seamless support for both on-premise and cloud mode deployment and operations.

• A robust system for monitoring, detecting and handling failures for a variety of resources on the clusters (including High Availability of clusters).

• Broad cluster and job monitoring and visualization capabilities, along with alerting systems.

• User facing tools to monitor the status of jobs and collect metrics.

• Administrator facing tools to manage and operate large clusters.

Skills & Qualifications

• Strong track record of software architecture, system design and development.

• Strong track record of development in distributed cluster.

• Strong understanding of Kubernetes (K8s) software ecosystem, Prometheus and Grafana.

• Strong development skills in GoLang, Python, bash.

• Strong debugging skills with distributed systems.

• Strong skill to develop tests for the new features and regress old features.
