We are looking for a Software Integration Ninja to join the AI Inference Core team at Cerebras. This team sits at the intersection of AI infrastructure, distributed systems, compilers, runtimes, kernels, and hardware/software co-design.
The Innovation Engine for Inference Core — turning ideas into reality.
You will help take ambitious ideas from concept to working reality across the Cerebras inference stack. You will integrate and validate cross-component projects of high complexity, often on accelerated timelines, and work directly with engineers across AI, runtime, compiler, kernel, systems, and hardware teams.
A Special Task Force, Not a Typical Engineering Role
•
Zero-to-one mission: Take incomplete ideas and early prototypes all the way to working, validated capabilities.
•
Cross-stack complexity: Move across AI frameworks, runtime, compiler, kernels, distributed systems, infrastructure, and hardware—not just one component or codebase.
•
Accelerated and dynamic cadence: Expect focused daily syncs, rapidly changing priorities, and periods of intense integration work. This is not a role for engineers seeking strictly regular, predictable work hours.
•
Comfortable on the hot seat: Take ownership when the path is unclear, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and stay effective when timelines are tight.
•
Bias for action: At critical moments, the mindset is “No Process, No Documentation, Just Get Stuff Done!!!” Cut through unnecessary ceremony, deliver the result, and then turn what you learned into better automation, diagnostics, documentation, and repeatable practices.
•
Team multiplier: Always push the work forward while raising the pace, clarity, and effectiveness of the people around you. We want people who bring the team with them—not lone heroes.
We prefer candidates with experience in software/hardware co-design or other complex systems, but that experience is not required. We welcome exceptional junior engineers who are eager to learn, do not shy away from ambiguity or hard work, and can demonstrate strong fundamentals, curiosity, ownership, and persistence.
