## About the role

Etched's infrastructure spans some of the most sensitive compute environments in the industry: bare-metal HPC clusters running proprietary ASIC workloads, hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments, and internal toolchains that house irreplaceable chip design IP. As we scale from early silicon to production, securing these environments is foundational — not an afterthought.

## What they're looking for

- Bring deep, broad networking expertise - from low-level packet analysis and firewall log forensics to BGP configuration, multi-cloud networking, and CASB/SASE integration across a diverse SaaS landscape
- Have hands-on experience with the Fortinet ecosystem - firewalls, FortiSASE, FortiAPs, and switches - and are comfortable with Arista switch platforms, including configuration, EOS automation, and integration into a broader security architecture
- Treat security as an engineering discipline: you write code and automation rather than relying on point-and-click tooling, version-control your configurations, and develop intent-driven network automation
- Have experience securing high-value compute environments - datacenters, HPC clusters, semiconductor design environments, or similar settings where the cost of a breach is extremely high
- Have deployed and integrated EDR/XDR, MDM/MAM, SASE, and CASB tooling, and understand how to stitch them together into a unified DLP and access control framework that spans endpoints, cloud, and the network
- Have built or operated ZTNA-based access models and understand how to enforce consistent security posture across on-site, remote, and traveling users without degrading the experience for engineers
