Full Stack LLM Engineer

About the Role
We are seeking a versatile and experienced engineer to join our Inference Core Model Bringup team. This team is responsible to rapidly bring up state-of-the-art open-source models (like LLaMA, Qwen, etc) or customer-provided proprietary models on our Cerebras CSX systems. Success in this role requires a system-minded generalist who thrives in fast-paced bringup environments and is comfortable working across the entire Cerebras software stack.
Your work will play a critical role in achieving unprecedented levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for AI applications.

• Contribute to the end-to-end bring up of ML models on Cerebras CSX systems.
• Work across the stack: model architecture translation, graph lowering, compiler optimizations, runtime integration, and performance tuning.
• Debug performance and correctness issues spanning model code, compiler IRs, runtime behavior, and hardware utilization.
• Propose and prototype improvements across tools, APIs, or automation flows to accelerate future bring ups.

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Comfort navigating the full AI toolchain: Python modeling code, compiler IRs, performance profiling, etc.
• Strong debugging skills across performance, numerical accuracy, and runtime integration.
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and familiarity with model internals (e.g., attention, MoE, diffusion).
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming and experience with low-level optimization.
• Proven experience in compiler development, particularly with LLVM and/or MLIR.
• Strong background in optimization techniques, particularly those involving NP-hard problems.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.
• A dynamic and innovative work environment.
• The chance to work on cutting-edge technologies and make a significant impact on the future of AI.
