Co-designed chips, racks, and software to push the pareto frontier to best-in-class throughput and interactivity. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia.
About the role
You'll be one of Etched's first Site Reliability Engineers, building the command-and-control layer for our fleet of frontier inference systems: the alerting, automated recovery and fleet data that keep clusters serving, and the routing that gets each problem to the right expert. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years in site reliability, production engineering or infrastructure for large-scale production systems (8+ years for the San Jose lead seat)
- You've defined alerting standards that several teams adopted, using Prometheus, Grafana or similar, and you know SLOs, error budgets and alert design well enough to teach them
- Real on-call experience for services with external users, including leading incidents and writing blameless postmortems
- A track record of debugging production incidents in systems you didn't write, under time pressure, from logs, metrics, traces and core dumps
- Experience with application and scripting languages like python, golang, rust, etc
- Hands-on with Linux, containers, Kubernetes and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible or similar)
More about this role
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, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.
You'll be one of Etched's first Site Reliability Engineers, building the command-and-control layer for our fleet of frontier inference systems: the alerting, automated recovery and fleet data that keep clusters serving, and the routing that gets each problem to the right expert. Our Supercomputing and Infrastructure teams build the fleet management, rollout and telemetry backbone; but you'll decide which signals define a healthy system, set how we alert and respond, and build agentic hardware health workflows on top of it.
Your job is to design and run a scalable system. Fleet SREs own detection, first response and handoff; domain SREs embedded in each team own the deep product fixes. Over time, most problems should be caught by an alert that measures...
