Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower 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. Sohu pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in AI model performance. But Sohu is just our first product - we are looking for talented software engineers to help us build the software, systems, and infrastructure that let us build specialized ASICs faster than any other company on Earth. This is a broad role. We are looking for hungry, talented software engineers who can contribute to many parts of the systems that make Etched run. You’ll lead the charge in designing and scaling the distributed systems that power our development and deployment pipelines. This is an opportunity to invent high-performance systems that orchestrate fleets of machines across hybrid superclusters, simulate trillions of operations, and move code from idea to silicon faster than ever before. While this role will work closely with infrastructure (part of the job will be setting up physical supercomputing systems), candidates for this position do not necessarily need infrastructure engineering experience. If you’re obsessed with building robust software for developers to use, designing systems that harness massive compute, and solving problems most companies never encounter, we’d love to talk.
