Construction TPM

Cerebras Systems•Sunnyvale, CA

About The Position

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. The Role Cerebras is building some of the most advanced AI systems on the planet. Behind that is a new class of data center—high-density, high-performance, and built at speed. We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). This is not a coordination role. This is an ownership role.
