Role Overview
Core Engineering is our special projects team. This team identifies critical gaps across Etched and builds solutions 0 to 1, often in days, with immediate feedback loops. You might build internal tools to unblock a hardware team, prototype systems for manufacturing execution, or design, evaluate, and deploy agentic systems for our most challenging R&D problems.
About Etched
Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across prefill and decode. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, we're redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry i
Key Responsibilities
- Build internal tools to unblock a hardware team
- Prototype systems for manufacturing execution
- Design, evaluate, and deploy agentic systems for our most challenging R&D problems
- Ship 0-1 production-level code every week
Requirements & Eligibility
- Have a track record of solving hard problems across stacks and domains — you enjoy being dropped into unfamiliar territory and figuring it out
- Have something you built that you can walk us through in depth. Depth in one thing beats a list of ten
- Are comfortable with Python and TypeScript: you can read it, modify it, debug it, and direct AI to write it well
- Have product sense and its necessary prerequisites, from AI tooling proficiency to design taste
- Bias towards action and comfort with incomplete information
