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

As the Software Architect for Cerebras’ manufacturing test platform, you will lead a team of Full Stack Engineers in designing and delivering the end-to-end software systems that power manufacturing test across every stage of our product lifecycle — from individual components to complete Cerebras systems. The platform spans both cloud infrastructure and physical client-server infrastructure deployed across our manufacturing facilities, and you will own the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap across the full stack. Working closely with hardware design, test engineering, operations, data analytics, and reliability teams, you will translate complex, cross‑functional requirements into a cohesive software architecture that drives manufacturing efficiency, quality, and scale.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the technical architecture and long‑term roadmap for the manufacturing test software platform, including test execution frameworks, user interfaces, distributed data storage, cloud services, on‑site client‑server systems, and reporting.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Full Stack Engineers, setting technical standards for code quality, design patterns, testing, documentation, and operational excellence.
• Partner with hardware engineers, test developers, data engineers, operations, and reliability teams to translate business and engineering requirements into clear, scalable software designs.
• Drive key architectural decisions across the stack — from front‑end frameworks and API design to database schemas, distributed data synchronization, cloud deployments, and on‑prem infrastructure across multiple manufacturing facilities.
• Conduct design and code reviews, guide technical trade‑offs, and ensure the team is building secure, reliable, and maintainable systems.
• Collaborate with engineering leadership on planning, prioritization, and delivery commitments, and represent the platform in cross‑functional technical discussions.
• Identifyopportunities to improve manufacturing efficiency, quality, and scalability through better tooling, automation, data infrastructure, and platform capabilities.

Skills and Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s or Master’sdegree in computer science, computer engineering, ora relatedfield.
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years ina technicalleadership, staff engineer, or architect role.
• Demonstrated experience designing and delivering complex, full-stack software systems at scale, including distributed systems and data-intensive applications.
• Strongproficiencyin at least one advanced programming language (e.g.Python, C++) and deep familiarity with modern full-stack development practices.
• Experience architecting software for hardware manufacturing environments, such as manufacturing test automation, MES/test data systems, or manufacturing quality control.
• Experience architecting and building client‑server software, including designing the protocols, APIs, and deployment patterns that connect on‑site infrastructure to broader platform services.
• Experience with cloud platforms (e.g.AWS, GCP), including infrastructure‑as‑code, CI/CD, and production operations.
• Experience designing systems backed by both SQL databases (e.g.PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g.MongoDB, Redis), including schema design, performance tuning, and data modeling.
• Solid grounding in front‑end technologies and frameworks (e.g.HTML, JavaScript, modern UI frameworks) and the ability to make sound architectural decisions about UI/API boundaries.
• Track recordof mentoring engineers, leading technical projects end‑to‑end, and partnering effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders.

Preferred

• Experience building distributed data platforms that synchronize across multiple sites or facilities.
• Experience with data engineering, data analytics, and/or business intelligence platforms, and partnering with data teams on reporting and visualization.
