Cerebras Systems is a pioneering company that focuses on developing advanced AI hardware, specifically the Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine, which delivers unparalleled performance in AI inference, outperforming traditional GPU setups. Their cutting-edge technology enables organizations like Mayo Clinic and AlphaSense to run state-of-the-art AI models with remarkable speed and efficiency. With flexible deployment options including cloud and on-premises solutions, Cerebras is transforming the landscape of AI capabilities for innovative teams across various industries.

📋 Description

• Partner with platform, infrastructure, and hardware teams to embed security controls from physical hardware through runtime. • Design and implement security hardening across the Linux kernel, bootloader, firmware, and host OS layers of Cerebras compute platforms. • Drive secure boot, measured boot, and attestation strategies across our infrastructure, from the wafer-scale system to supporting host nodes. • Conduct deep security reviews of kernel modules, drivers, and low-level system components — identifying and remediating memory safety, privilege escalation, and isolation issues. • Develop kernel-level monitoring and telemetry (e.g., eBPF) to enable detection of low-level attacker behavior. • Stay ahead of emerging kernel CVEs, supply chain risks, and hardware-level threats — driving response and remediation across the fleet. • Document low-level security posture, threat models, and remediation playbooks in clear, accessible language.

🎯 Requirements

• Background in Mechanical and/or Electrical Engineering with career focus in Cybersecurity. • Deep familiarity with the Linux kernel — including kernel modules, syscall interface, namespaces, cgroups, eBPF, and LSM. • Hands-on experience with firmware, UEFI, secure boot, TPM, and platform integrity tooling. • Strong proficiency in C and a modern systems language (Rust, Go, or similar), with the ability to read and write production kernel code. • Familiarity with hardware-level isolation primitives (e.g., IOMMU, SR-IOV, confidential computing); exposure to non-standard compute architectures a plus. • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to make low-level security concepts approachable for non-specialists.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • 401(k) matching • Flexible work hours • Paid time off • Remote work options
