Original job description
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 with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

- Design and implement security controls for AI-powered systems, including controlled, audited, and governed agent workflows, while contributing to core security services such as service identity, secrets management, key management, authentication, and authorization.
- Partner across Security, Engineering, and Infrastructure teams to drive secure-by-design solutions, implement Zero Trust principles, and reduce operational friction.
- Drive technical direction and cross-team initiatives that improve the scalability, reliability, security, and developer experience of our infrastructure.
- Write high-quality, reliable code, participate in architecture and code reviews, mentor engineers, and help raise the technical bar across the team.
- Support critical production systems and drive operational excellence through scalability, resiliency, observability, and automation.
- Participate in on-call and incident response for the Developer Productivity organization.
- 7+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, Identity & Access Management, Identity Engineering, or Security Engineering.
- Proven experience designing and owning complex production infrastructure or platform systems at scale.

- Experience working with container technologies and deploying and operating services on Kubernetes.
- Strong automation and coding skills with Python or Go, along with Terraform or similar IaC technologies.
- A security-first mindset with experience implementing Zero Trust, least-privilege access, and compliance frameworks such as SOC2, FedRAMP, or ITAR.
- A strong platform and operational mindset, with experience supporting and improving production services through monitoring, troubleshooting, incident response, and automation.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction, drive cross-team initiatives, and mentor other engineers.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a proven ability to work across teams and influence technical decisions.
