Applied Machine Learning Research Scientist
Summary
Applied ML research scientist at Cerebras who builds and scales ML workflows for LLM pretraining, fine-tuning, and reinforcement-learning post-training — day to day this means building evaluation and data pipelines, debugging across the ML stack, and optimizing training and inference. Core stack: Python, PyTorch, and transformer-based deep learning.
You will implement scalable ML workflows for LLM pretraining, fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning post-training. You will build evaluation and data pipelines, debug issues across the ML stack, optimize training and inference, and contribute maintainable infrastructure code.
