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.
As a Kernel Engineer at Cerebras, you will develop high-performance software at the intersection of hardware and software for cutting-edge artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
You will help implement, optimize, and validate machine learning and linear algebra operations for the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine, our custom massively parallel processor architecture. Working alongside experienced kernel, compiler, performance, and hardware engineers, you will learn how algorithms are mapped to specialized hardware and contribute to software that maximizes compute utilization and system performance.
You will be part of a team responsible for the design, development, performance tuning, and validation of foundational ML and HPC kernels. This is an excellent opportunity for a new graduate who is interested in computer architecture, parallel programming, low-level software, and machine learning systems.
Help design and implement machine learning and linear algebra kernels for the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine.
Develop and debug high-performance kernel routines using low-level programming techniques and the Cerebras Software Language, a custom C-like language.
Apply parallel programming algorithms to map computational workloads efficiently onto the Cerebras architecture.
Use mathematical analysis, performance data, and profiling tools to evaluate kernel behavior and inform design decisions.
Identify and investigate correctness, performance, and hardware utilization issues.

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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
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%).
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.
Closest cities in this guide: Mountain View (3 miles, similar rent); Santa Clara (4 miles, similar rent); Los Altos (4 miles, rent 15% higher); Cupertino (5 miles, rent 15% higher). Rent differences are against Sunnyvale; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
