Advanced Technology: AI/ML Research Scientist
Cerebras · Headquarters/Sunnyvale Office
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 https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference. About the Role The Inference Core Platform group is at the heart of Cerebras' mission to deliver the world’s fastest AI inference. Our team builds the foundational software and hardware infrastructure that powers low-latency, high-speed, high-throughput deployment on the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). We are responsible for the full stack—from model compilation and scheduling down to custom hardware kernels and driver development. The ML Performance Benchmarking team plays a pivotal role in shaping the performance and scalability of AI inference on one of the most advanced computing systems ever built. We drive the bring-up of core inference capabilities and deliver performance improvements at every stage of development—from early prototyping to production deployment. We're looking for passionate engineers to join us in redefining the limits of AI inference. If you thrive on building systems that measure, analyze, and optimize performance at scale, this is your opportunity to make a transformative impact on the future of AI.
