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. ## Role: Developer Experience Engineer You’ll enhance developer productivity, automation, and infrastructure across Etched’s hardware and software teams. You’ll work at the intersection of DevOps, software engineering, and high-performance computing (HPC), building systems that accelerate chip design, simulation, and AI model deployment in a cloud and on-prem hybrid environment. ## Key Responsibilities - Develop and maintain automation tools to streamline development, testing, and deployment workflows - Optimize and manage **Slurm-based** job scheduling for AI workloads, simulation, and chip design workflows - Build observability solutions using **Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry** for monitoring pipelines, infrastructure, and compute clusters - Manage and optimize containerized environments using **Docker** and **Kubernetes** to improve scalability and reproducibility - Enhance build, test, and deployment pipelines with CI/CD tools such as **GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Buildkite, or Bazel** - Develop caching and artifact management systems to reduce build times and improve dependency resolution - Integrate and manage cloud resources (**AWS, GCP**) for scaling compute, storage, and hybrid workloads - Support security and compliance efforts including secrets management and access control - Document and share best practices for efficient developer tooling and workflows ## You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have - Strong **Python** skills for automation, scripting, and infrastructure development - Experience with **Slurm** job scheduling in an HPC or hybrid environment - Hands-on experience with observability/monitoring tools: **Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry** - Expertise with **Docker** and **Kubernetes** (including Helm charts and cluster management) - Proficiency in modern **CI/CD** pipeline management (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Buildkite) - Experience with **infrastructure-as-code** tools like **Terraform** or **Ansible** - Knowledge of cloud infrastructure and compute/storage optimization on **AWS** or **GCP** ## Strong Candidates May Also Have - Data pipelining for AI/ML workflows using **Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster** - Build system expertise with **Bazel, CMake**, or distributed build systems - Secrets management tools such as **Vault, SOPS, AWS Secrets Manager, or GCP Secret Manager** - AI/ML model training workflows and monitoring GPU-accelerated workloads - Exposure to **FPGA** or **ASIC** development environments and workflows ## Benefits - Full medical, dental, and vision packages (generous premium coverage) - Housing subsidy: **$2,500/month** for those living within walking distance of the office - Daily lunch and dinner in the office - Relocation support for those moving to **West San Jose** - Unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification ## How We’re Different Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson: http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html We’re a fully in-person team in **San Jose (Santana Row)**. We value engineering skills and do not separate engineering from research—expecting technical staff to contribute across both and work acro
