The posting

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 https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

- Support data protection and recovery through snapshots, replication, backups, and restore validation.

- Implement monitoring, health checks, and alerts to identify problems early.

- Collaborate with engineering, networking, storage vendors, and data center operations teams to deploy and support infrastructure.

- Document configurations, troubleshooting procedures, and operational runbooks.

QUALIFICATIONS

- Strong hands-on experience administering and troubleshooting Linux systems.

- Proficiency in Python and shell scripting, particularly Bash.

- Practical experience with Ansible for automation and configuration management.

- Experience with virtualization platforms such as KVM, VMware, or Proxmox.

- Hands-on experience administering enterprise or distributed storage systems.

- Working knowledge of block, file, and object storage concepts, with practical experience in protocols such as NFS, SMB, iSCSI, or S3.

- Familiarity with Linux storage management, including disk configuration, RAID, LVM, filesystems, and mount management.

- Ability to troubleshoot storage performance using metrics such as IOPS, throughput, and latency.

- Strong debugging skills and a methodical approach to root cause analysis.

- Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, routing, VLANs, and network troubleshooting.

- Familiarity with Linux services, permissions, processes, package management, and system logs.

- Experience using Git for version control and collaborative development.

- Ability to own technical problems through resolution and communicate findings clearly.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience with storage platforms such as VAST Data, NetApp, Dell PowerScale, Pure Storage, or Ceph.

- Familiarity with high-performance storage networking, including RDMA, RoCE, or InfiniBand.

- Experience with bare-metal provisioning, PXE boot, Kickstart, or cloud-init.

- Familiarity with server management interfaces such as BMC, IPMI, or Redfish.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
