Staff Site Reliability Engineer – Automation and Platform

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; 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. Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference. About the Role We are building a high-performance SRE function to support one of the world’s fastest-growing AI inference services, powered by the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). This team will help deliver world-class, ultra-reliable inference infrastructure for leading model builders such as OpenAI and other frontier labs. As a Staff SRE, you will lead the engineering effort to eliminate toil at scale by driving implementation of self-service delivery pipelines, shared observability common tooling. This role starts with ~1 month of hands-on operational immersion to gain deep familiarity with our current stack, production pain points, and high-stakes workflows. From there, your primary focus shifts to architecting and delivering the "tomorrow" layer: declarative GitOps-driven CD for model releases, capacity provisioning and cluster upgrades.
