Full Job Description
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. The Role The DC Delivery E2E TPM is the single-threaded owner for delivering data center capacity from forecast → site strategy → design → construction → infrastructure readiness → go-live. You will operate as the SSOT (Single Source of Truth) for delivery milestones, risks, and capacity outcomes while orchestrating cross-functional execution across internal teams and external partners. This is a frontier-scale role where ambiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and stakes are critical to company growth. Responsibilities End-to-End Capacity Delivery Own delivery of AI-optimized data center capacity (colo, build-to-suit, retrofits, and owned facilities) from pre-contract planning through operational readiness. Deliver MW-scale infrastructure aligned to aggressive GPU/AI system deployment targets. Drive clarity from ambiguity—translate high-level de
