Senior Runtime Engineer

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 We are building the next generation of large-scale AI systems that power training and inference workloads at unprecedented scale and efficiency. You will design and develop high-performance distributed software that orchestrates massive compute and data pipelines across heterogeneous clusters. Your work will push the limits of concurrency, throughput, and scalability—enabling efficient execution of models at massive scale. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering and machine learning performance, demanding both architectural depth and low-level implementation skills. You will help shape how models are executed and
