Network Security Engineer

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, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history. Job Summary 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. As our first dedicated Network Security Engineer, you will own the design and implementation of Etched's network security posture end to end. You'll work alongside the infrastructure team to harden our physical and virtual networks, enforce least-privilege access to chip design environments, and build the detection and response capabilities that keep our most sensitive assets safe. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to shape security architecture at a company building the compute infrastructure for the next decade of AI — not maintain someone else's stack.
