About Etched
Etched is building the world’s first AI inference system purpose-built for transformers - delivering over 10x higher performance and dramatically lower cost and latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.
What you'll do:
Co-Develop cutting-edge software optimized across hardware and software driving the full potential of very large transformer models.
Solve challenging problems across the full stack, from low-level drivers and APIs to high-level applications and frameworks.
Contribute to the development of AI solutions that will revolutionize industries like natural language processing, chain of reasoning automation, generative media.
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
3 years of experience in software development, and with data structures/algorithms.
3 years of experience developing and testing software on launching products.
3 years of experience with firmware design, implementation, and troubleshooting.
3 years of experience with embedded architectures, IO technologies (I2C, SPI, PCIe, DRAM etc.), as well as concepts like scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master’s degree Computer Science, or a related technical field.
Experience resolving customer-related issues.
Experience solving ambiguous problems.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Competitive compensation packages including generous equity packages
Comprehensive insurance coverage and other top-of-market benefits
How we’re different
Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We think most of the progress in the AI field has come from using more FLOPs to train and run models, and the best way to get more FLOPs is to build model-specific hardware. Larger and larger training runs encourage companies to consolidate around fewer model architectures, which creates a market for single-model ASICs.
