Etched is hiring a Technical Recruiter (Supercomputing/ML)

As a Technical Recruiter, you will drive end-to-end talent acquisition for a company at the forefront of AI inference technology. Your focus will be on identifying and hiring top-tier engineers and researchers in supercomputing and machine learning—fields where talent is scarce and demand is intense. You’ll manage every stage of recruitment, from proactive sourcing to offer negotiation, ensuring a seamless and insightful hiring journey.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead full-cycle recruiting with precision, maintaining high standards while accelerating hiring velocity
  • Partner closely with engineering leaders to understand team needs and align on candidate evaluation
  • Build pipelines by engaging with niche technical communities, including contributors to open-source projects, research forums, and preprint platforms
  • Identify talent beyond traditional channels—scouting profiles on GitHub, arXiv, Apache lists, and technical social threads
  • Design and support structured interview processes, ensuring consistent, data-driven hiring decisions
  • Lead post-interview debriefs and guide hiring teams toward clear, fair outcomes
  • Oversee offer management and closing, working directly with leadership and executives
  • Continuously refine recruiting workflows to improve efficiency, equity, and candidate experience

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of technical recruiting experience, preferably in AI, hardware, or systems-intensive domains
  • Proven ability to assess technical capability and team fit with depth and fairness
  • A track record of sourcing talent in unconventional spaces
  • Comfort operating in fast-changing environments and building recruiting infrastructure from the ground up
  • Strong commitment to operational rigor and respectful, transparent candidate engagement

Preferred Background

  • Experience hiring in AI, semiconductor, or specialized engineering fields
  • Familiarity with research-driven engineering cultures and emerging technical domains

Work Environment

This role is based in San Jose (Santana Row), where the core team operates in-person. While we consider remote contract arrangements, there is a strong preference for candidates able to work onsite. The company fosters a high-intensity, high-skill environment where engineering and research are deeply integrated. All technical staff are expected to contribute across disciplines, guided by the principle that scaling compute—through purpose-built hardware—is the most effective path forward in AI.

Benefits & Support

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with substantial premium support
  • $500 monthly credit for those opting out of medical benefits
  • $2,000 monthly housing subsidy for employees living within walking distance of the office
  • Relocation assistance for candidates moving to San Jose
  • Wellness benefits covering fitness, therapy, and mental health services
  • Daily catered lunch and dinner at the office
