Job Description

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.  

Cerebras' current customers include top 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. 

Thanks to the groundbreaking wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, 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.

About The Role

As an Applied AI Scientist in the FieldML team, you will be responsible for developing and customizing large language models and more broadly large-scale deep learning models to solve specific customer problems. You won't just advise; you will build. You will bridge the gap between state-of-the-art research and real-world applications by helping customers harness the power of the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) for their AI initiatives.  

We are looking for experienced AI Scientists who are passionate about the "applied" side of machine learning - those who enjoy not just reading papers, but implementing, training, and scaling models to solve complex business and scientific problems. You will work on a diverse range of projects, from training bespoke models from scratch to fine-tuning and optimizing the latest Large Language Models (LLMs) for specific industry verticals, to designing and building components for custom agentic systems. 

The ideal candidate has experience in large model training and/or post-training, a deep understanding of training dynamics and model convergence, and expertise in data curation, combined with strong communication skills.   

Key Responsibilities 

  • Customer Use Case Discovery & Project Scoping 
    • Collaborate with customer stakeholders to identify the best approaches to their business problem with AI. 
    • Contribute to the technical scoping of engagements, including feasibility analysis, data quality/availability/readiness assessments, and the selection of optimal model architectures. 
    • Define project milestones, success metrics, and rigorous evaluation benchmarks to ensure the solution delivers measurable value to the customer’s business. 
  • Custom SOTA Models and
