Principal Network Systems Architect
Cerebras Systems, Sunnyvale, CA
About the job
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
As a Principal Network Systems Architect, you will define the scale out, and particularly scale-up network architecture for current and future Cerebras platforms, including proprietary accelerator interconnects, protocols, and switching. Requirements will not arrive as a finished bandwidth and latency specification. Working with application, compiler, runtime, and systems teams, you will study communication patterns, workload partitioning and placement, data and memory movement, synchronization, locality, and failure behavior, then translate them into measurable fabric requirements.
