Job description

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

You will play a critical role in ensuring the health, performance, and availability of our infrastructure, maximizing compute capacity, and supporting our growing AI initiatives. This role requires a deep understanding of Linux-based systems, containerization technologies, and experience with monitoring and troubleshooting complex distributed systems. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver with expertise in large-scale compute infrastructure, dependable and an advocate for customer success.

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Sunnyvale, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Sunnyvale compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Sunnyvale is #37 by population, #12 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #15 for household income (#1 = highest), #129 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Santa Clara County, is #1 of 58 counties for average pay ($197,043).

The place in numbers

Sunnyvale has 154,236 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.4% of the population of California. It covers 22 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 6,992 people per square mile. The median age is 35.2, 7% younger than the state median (35.2 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $3,039 a month (rent plus utilities), 49% above the state median ($3,039 against $2,036). Over a year that is 19.6% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,801,800, which is 9.7 times the median household income ($186,170); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.8% of households own their home, 22% below the state average (43.8% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metropolitan area has 1,134,970 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $84,050 a year, 65% above the national median ($84,050 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are computer and mathematical (149,970 jobs, median $186,320); management (115,110 jobs, median $210,750); business and financial operations (94,210 jobs, median $125,240). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (3.9 times) and architecture and engineering (2.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($210,750) and legal ($195,190). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Santa Clara County was 4.2%. 72.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Santa Clara County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 53.7% drive alone, 4.0% use public transit, 1.6% walk, 29.2% work from home. 9.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 54% below the state average (9.0% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

69.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 87% above the state share (69.3% against 37.1%). 50.2% of residents were born outside the United States, 86% above the state share (50.2% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 5.8%, 52% below the state rate (5.8% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 68°F (19.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 47°F (8.3°C). About 510 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (114 mm) and Jul the driest (0 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
