Job Description About Etched
Etched is building a new class of AI chips—hard-coded for specific model architectures—that unlock order-of-magnitude improvements in performance. Our first product, Sohu , is optimized for transformers and makes previously impossible applications like real-time video generation and deep chain-of-thought reasoning a reality. 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
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
