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.
We’re hiring for GTM Ops - someone who will build the operational backbone of our go-to-market strategy. This is a high-impact role working closely with our Head of GTM to drive the day-to-day execution behind our customer-facing efforts, product launches, and strategic partnerships. You’ll run key analyses, build customer pipelines, support events, shape brand presence, and help launch products that shift perception and win deals. Your work will directly accelerate our entry into market and deepen our relationships with high-value prospects.

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 Taipei, and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.
