About the Role

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.

Cerebras' current customers include top 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.

Thanks to the groundbreaking wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, 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.

About The Role

We are seeking an experienced IT SRE Team Lead to build and run the reliability function for Cerebras' internal technology estate.

The IT SRE Team Lead will be responsible for the availability, performance, and operational quality of the systems Cerebras employees rely on every day, including identity, endpoint management, collaboration, SaaS, and internal networking. The right candidate will bring a software engineering mindset to IT operations, treating corporate infrastructure as code, with measurable SLOs, automated remediation, and a ruthless focus on eliminating toil.

You will build and lead a small, high-leverage team of engineers who build tooling, write automation, and respond when things break. You will partner closely with the security, networking, and infrastructure teams to make sure the internal environment stays fast, stable, and secure as the company scales.
