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 Team The Cloud Quality team is responsible for the confidence behind every production release shipped to Cerebras Inference Cloud. We work closely with platform, infrastructure, ML systems, and product engineering teams to ensure that rapid iteration never comes at the expense of customer trust. Our environment spans distributed cloud systems, multi-region deployments, APIs, orchestration layers, and hardware-backed inference services. We are scaling quickly. The systems are growing in complexity, traffic is increasing rapidly, and release velocity remains high. We need engineers who can build quality systems that scale with the business. About The Role We are hiring a Software Development Engineer in Test to own the quality of our weekly cloud releases end to end and to build the test infrastructure that lets the team scale.
