Senior Backend Engineer, Inference Cloud
Cerebras Systems, Sunnyvale, CA +1
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
We’re hiring a senior backend engineer to build and scale the services that power Cerebras Inference Cloud. Your work will support the Developer Console and the broader backend systems that developers and enterprises rely on to access, manage, and operate inference workloads.
This is a hands-on role for a backend generalist who enjoys working across services, APIs, databases, and data pipelines. You’ll solve problems spanning usage tracking, billing, quotas, account management, request logs, metrics, and other core cloud capabilities. These systems require careful data modeling, reliable integrations, and thoughtful tradeoffs across correctness, latency, scale, and cost.
