This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. \nThis 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.\nCerebras 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.\nAbout The Role\nThe DC Delivery E2E TPM is the single-threaded owner for delivering data center capacity from forecast → site strategy → design → construction → infrastructure readiness → go-live.\nYou will operate as the SSOT (Single Source of Truth) for delivery milestones, risks, and capacity outcomes while orchestrating cross-functional execution across internal teams and external partners. This is a frontier-scale role where ambiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and stakes are critical to company growth.\nResponsibilities\nEnd-to-End Capacity Delivery\nOwn delivery of AI-optimized data center capacity (colo, build-to-suit, retrofits, and owned facilities) from pre-contract planning through operational readiness.\n\nDeliver MW-scale infrastructure aligned to aggressive GPU/AI system deployment targets.\n\nDrive clarity from ambiguity-translate high-level demand signals into executable delivery programs.\n\nProgram Structuring & Execution\nDecompose complex build programs into workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and deliverables.\n\nBuild integrated plans spanning real estate, power/energy, design, procurement, construction, and deployment.\n\nEstablish critical path visibility and aggressively manage schedule compression.\n\nCross-Functional Leadership\nOrchestrate execution across:\nReal estate & site selection\n\nPower & energy strategy (utilities, PPAs, interconnects)\n\nData center design (MEP, liquid cooling, high-density racks)\n\nSupply chain & long-lead equipment procurement\n\nConstruction & commissioning\n\nInfrastructure deployment (rack/cluster install)\n\nNetworking & backbone connectivity\n\nSecurity, compliance, and operations readiness\n\nAct as the primary interface with colocation providers, EPCs, utilities, and key vendors.\n\nRisk, Cost & Governance\nIdentify and drive resolution of critical risks, constraints, and blockers across power, equipment, permitting, and supply chain.\n\nOwn and maintain program budgets, CapEx forecasts, and capital allocation narratives.\n\nProvide structured updates and escalation paths to executive leadership.\n\nDemand & Capacity Planning Integration\nPartner with capacity planning, AI infrastructure, and finance teams to translate model demand into site-level capacity strategies.\n\nAlign build plans with power availability, network topology, and hardware rollout schedules.\n\nContinuously optimize for time-to-capacity and cost-per-MW / cost-per-GPU deployed.\n\nOperational Excellence\nDrive E2E improvements in delivery through:\nStandardization of build and commissioning processes\n\nImplementation of program tooling and dashboards\n\nPost-mortems and lessons learned loops\n\nEstablish scalable mechanisms to support rapid global expansion.\n\nCommunication & Leadership\nServe as SSOT for program health, milestones, and risks.\n\nDeliver concise, high-signal updates to senior executives.\n\nOperate effectively across distributed teams with up to 50% travel.\n\nSkills & Qualifications\n12-15+ years in mission-critical facilities or data center operations\n\nExperience managing multi-site, vendor-heavy environments\n\nStrong expertise in electrical and mechanical systems\n\nProven track record in improving uptime and performance\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience at hyperscalers (Google, Meta, Microsoft) or neo-cloud / AI infra companies (CoreWeave, Lambda, etc.).\n\nFamiliarity with high-density AI workloads (liquid cooling, >30kW racks, GPU clusters).\n\nExperience with:\nUtility engagement and power delivery constraints\n\nLong-lead supply chain planning (transformers, switchgear, chillers)\n\nCommissioning and data center handover processes\n\nAbility to operate in high-growth, ambiguous environments with limited structure.\n\nStrong executive presence and ability to influence without authority.\n\nWhat sets you apart\nExtreme ownership mindset - you treat capacity delivery as a personal SLA.\n\nAbility to move fast without breaking systems, balancing urgency with rigor.\n\nComfort operating at the intersection of hardware, real estate, and software scaling demands.\n\nClear, structured communicator who can turn chaos into executable plans.\n\nBias for action with a track record of delivering results under pressure.\n\nLocation: US (preferred SF Bay Area / remote with travel)\nWhy Join Cerebras\nPeople who are serious about software make their own hardware.
