Supercomputing Engineer, Fleet Software
Etched · San Jose
About this role
## 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 both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference—backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers. ## Job Summary Fleet Software enables deployments at scale through configuration management, safe software and firmware rollouts, and software recovery—while partnering with other engineering teams to drive product improvements as we ramp production. You’ll work closely with **Node Systems**, which builds the single-rack software, clients, and tuning recipes that Fleet deploys and manages across many racks. You’ll also build the **monitoring and analysis systems** that connect signals across the rack so engineers and their agents can investigate failures, spot patterns, and continually improve performance and reliability. We’re looking for a **hands-on engineer** who has built infrastructure and owned it through real deployments in the field. ## Key Responsibilities - Build the fleet management system that provisions, configures, updates, and recovers Etched-owned hardware across labs and customer deployments - Implement safe software and firmware rollouts (validation, staged deployment, and handling partial failures) - Build telemetry and log pipelines to collect rack metrics/logs into a central store (storage, retention, and query performance) - Develop monitoring, alerting, and analysis tools to help engineers, their agents, and customers understand fleet behavior and investigate failures - Build secure, least-privilege access to BMCs and servers across lab, office, and data center networks - Provide lab operators simple controls for managed hardware (draining/powering down for repair, rolling out validated versions) - Partner with Node Systems to define interfaces, clients, and validated configurations needed to manage hardware across the fleet - Work with Customer Deployments, Infrastructure, Lab Operations, and Factory Testing (support customer environments, local monitoring, and customer telemetry ingress/analysis) - Act as first-line triage for issues on Etched-owned systems; find root causes in the management system and escalate when needed - Turn lessons from deployments/incidents into engineering priorities (decide when to adopt existing tools vs. building your own) ## You may be a good fit if you have - Experience building infrastructure software and owning it in production (deployments, incidents, and follow-on changes) - Background in fleet management, provisioning, configuration management, or observability for compute infrastructure/connected devices - Solid distributed systems and Linux fundamentals (how systems behave under load, during upgrades, and when components fail) - Hands-on experience with **Kubernetes** and container orchestration (including bare metal) - Experience with **Slurm** or similar HPC/GPU cluster schedulers and resource management - Experience with network boot and bare metal provisioning (PXE, HTTP boot, iPXE, DHCP/TFTP) - Strong proficiency in at least one of **Go, Python, Rust, or C/C++** - Strong debugging skills using logs, metrics, and tracing - Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across hardware, firmware, and software teams ## Nice-to-have - Telemetry/log pipelines (storage, retention, query performance) - Bare metal
