About Etched
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 chain-of-thought reasoning.
Director of Finance
As we scale our company, we will face a handful of strategic and finance operational challenges. From deciding pricing, SKUs, and unit economics to accounting, financing strategies, and cash flow and supply chain management, we are looking for an experienced Director of Finance to tackle strategic financial challenges and execute on our day-to-day finance operations.
You will work closely with the executive team to implement a finance plan and advise on key strategic issues across the organization, from supply chain to product. This is a high-trust role that hopefully translates into a long-term leadership role at the company.

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 Cupertino, 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.
