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. About the Role As the Software Architect for Cerebras' manufacturing test platform, you will lead a team of Full Stack Engineers in designing and delivering the end-to-end software systems that power manufacturing test across every stage of our product lifecycle — from individual components to complete Cerebras systems. The platform spans both cloud infrastructure and physical client-server infrastructure deployed across our manufacturing facilities, and you will own the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap across the full stack. Working closely with hardware design, test engineering, operations, data analytics, and reliability teams, you will translate complex, cross-functional requirements into a cohesive software architecture that drives manufacturing efficiency, quality, and scale. Responsibilities Define and own the technical architecture
