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 & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents.

Job Summary As Etched scales from R&D into global manufacturing and deployment, the complexity of our financial and operational systems is increasing rapidly. We are hiring a hands-on engineer to own and evolve the technical backbone of our financial systems . Starting with ERP and expanding into data infrastructure that connects finance with manufacturing, logistics, and operations, this is a critical role that will enable Etched to scale.

You will be the primary technical owner of our ERP and financial data flows, responsible for architecture, implementation, and long-term scalability. In the short term, this role is heavily ERP-focused; over time, it expands into broader data engineering and infrastructure ownership.

This is not a consulting or governance role. You will own these systems end to end—designing them, building them, and ensuring scalability.

Key Responsibilities Own Core Financial Systems

• Serve as the primary technical owner of Etched’s ERP and adjacent financial systems.
• Drive architecture, implementation, and ongoing maintenance.
• Act as the main PM and hands-on developer for NetSuite initiatives.

Build Financial Data Infrastructure

• Design and stand up a financial data lake or warehouse.
• Create clean, well-structured datasets for financial analysis and forecasting.
• Ensure data integrity, traceability, and correctness across systems.

Integrate Finance with Hardware Operations

• Build integrations across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and reverse logistics.
• Model real-world physical processes accurately in software.
• Ensure financial data reflects operational reality.

Execute End-to-End

• Architect lightweight, scalable systems and build them yourself.
• Eliminate manual workflows through automation.
• Partner with consultants on specialized projects while remaining the internal owner.

You may be a good fit if you have

• 2–5 years of experience with a strong record of ownership and execution.
• Ability to build custom integrations and connect systems where APIs are not well defined.
• Background in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or Data Science.
• Experience working with hardware, manufacturing, logistics, or other physical systems.
• Strong programming skills in JavaScript, with familiarity in Python.
• Strong programming skills in Python; familiarity with JavaScript and JSON.

Benefits

• Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage
• 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 (Santana Row)

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 (Santana Row), 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.
