This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.\n\nThis 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.\n\nCerebras works with the leading 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.\nAbout the Role\nWe build and operate the software systems that deploy, validate, and manage AI compute clusters across data centers worldwide for the world’s fastest AI Inference. Our work turns complex bare-metal infrastructure into repeatable, automated deployment flows spanning server provisioning, network configuration, Kubernetes bring-up, health validation, and operational handoff.\nAs a Software Engineer on the Cluster Deployment Automation team, you will help build the pushbutton tooling that makes large-scale cluster deployments faster, safer, and more reproducible. This role is designed for talented engineers passionate about learning through hands-on work with Python, Bash, Ansible, Linux, bare-metal servers, networking equipment, Kubernetes, and observability systems while learning how production AI infrastructure is built and operated at scale.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop and maintain automation for deployment workflows, including provisioning, configuration, validation, and operational handoff.\nTurn manual deployment steps into tested, repeatable pushbutton workflows.\nParticipate in hands-on cluster deployments to build practical debugging and operational expertise.\nTroubleshoot issues across Linux systems, bare-metal servers, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and connectivity.\nContribute to infrastructure-as-code and GitOps workflows using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, pull requests, and code review.\nAdd health checks, observability, dashboards, and validation logic to improve deployment reliability.\nPartner with networking, infrastructure, security, and operations teams to deliver secure and reproducible data center deployments.\nBasic Qualifications\n2+ years of mid- to large-scale data center deployment\nStrong fundamentals in Python and Bash, with the ability to write scripts and small programs.\nBasic Linux experience, including command-line usage, processes, filesystems, and disk troubleshooting.\nWorking knowledge of Git, including branching, commits, pull requests, and code review.\nCS, ECE, or related technical degree, or equivalent practical experience.\nCuriosity, strong problem-solving instincts, and willingness to work hands-on with real infrastructure.\nPreferred Qualifications\nNetworking fundamentals, including VLANs and routing basics; exposure to BGP, switch configuration, or Arista EOS automation is a plus.\nKubernetes experience or familiarity.\nInfrastructure-as-code and GitOps experience, including Terraform, Ansible, and PR-based change control.\nBare-metal provisioning concepts such as PXE, DHCP, iPXE, Redfish, IPMI, and BMC management.\nObservability experience with Prometheus or Grafana.\nAPI design and client-server architecture.\nAutomation side projects or open-source contributions.\nWhy Join Cerebras\nPeople who are serious about software make their own hardware.
