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 from NVIDIA, Google, and Meta, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.

As we scale, we’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to build and own some of the most high-leverage, relationship-driven parts of our recruiting function. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a company poised to become the next NVIDIA.

Technical Recruiter
To maintain our competitive edge as we approach production, we’re expanding our team with a data-driven and inventive recruiter. You’ll work closely with hiring managers, engineers, and the broader recruiting team to identify, engage, and hire world-class technical talent.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-talent-density environments and loves the hunt—especially when it means going beyond traditional sourcing channels.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the full-cycle recruiting process, from sourcing through offer, ensuring top-of-funnel quality and fast, high-signal decision-making

  • Build strong partnerships with hiring managers and advocate for both candidates and company needs

  • Attend AI meetups, technical conferences, and community events to proactively build pipelines

  • Source candidates in unconventional places—e.g., GitHub repos, preprint authors on arXiv, contributors to Apache mailing lists, or insightful Twitter threads

  • Facilitate structured interview loops, track candidate performance, and lead debriefs alongside hiring managers and leadership

  • Manage offers and close processes in collaboration with hiring managers and the CEO

  • Continuously improve our recruiting systems, workflows, and candidate experience

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Have 5+ years of experience recruiting technical talent in highly competitive markets

  • Can evaluate both technical depth and cultural fit with nuance and clarity

  • Are resourceful in finding exceptional candidates beyond the obvious platforms

  • Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building systems from scratch

  • Care deeply about candidate experience and operational excellence

Bonus Points For:

  • Familiarity with the AI, semiconductor, or hardware engineering talent landscape

  • A track record of hiring exceptional engineers in niche or emerging fields

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.

We are a fully in-person team in San Jose, and greatly value technical depth.

Benefits:

  • Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage

  • Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office

  • Daily lunch and dinner in our office

  • Relocation support for those moving to San Jose

Compensation Range

  • $100,000 - $200,000
