About the job

Productionize and optimize Cerebras’s GPU inference serving stack, improving its reliability, numerical correctness, observability, and performance across software and rack-scale infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Build, deploy, and maintain the GPU prefill serving path across APIs, model-serving workers, software runtimes, GPU nodes, networking, and infrastructure.
  • Establish operational practices and reliability systems for the AMD GPU fleet, including deployment, recovery, monitoring, and incident response.
  • Profile and optimize inference performance, serving behavior, correctness, and regression-testing infrastructure.

What they ask for

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including substantial individual-contributor ownership of complex production systems.
  • Experience building, operating, or optimizing production inference systems for large language models, multimodal models, or similarly demanding GPU workloads.
  • Strong C++ and Python programming skills, plus hands-on experience with a high-performance model-serving framework such as vLLM or equivalent.
  • Experience with GPU performance, distributed-system debugging, and production operations involving Linux, containers, Kubernetes or comparable orchestration, observability, and CI/CD.

Nice to have

  • Experience with AMD Instinct accelerators and the ROCm ecosystem, or deep CUDA experience.
  • Experience optimizing disaggregated inference, multi-GPU or multi-node serving, quantization, or contributing to ML systems projects.

Tools

C++, Python, vLLM, PyTorch, ROCm, HIP, Linux, Kubernetes

AI focus

GPU-accelerated LLM and multimodal inference, including prefill serving, performance optimization, and numerical validation.
