Job Summary

At Etched, building and maintaining a secure yet friction-free computing environment is central to our mission. As a Security Engineer, you will protect the networks, systems, and applications that enable our engineers to push the limits of AI hardware. You will design, implement, and operate the monitoring, detection, and response infrastructure that safeguards Etched’s intellectual property, high-performance compute clusters, and developer workflows across both on-prem and cloud environments. You will partner with infrastructure, IT, application, and external provider teams to build systems that are secure by design, resilient under pressure, and seamless and easy to use for the end users.

This role combines hands-on technical depth with a focus on scalability and automation. You will take ownership of Etched’s security posture across infrastructure, IT, and applications, driving proactive threat detection, real-time monitoring, and rapid incident response. Your decisions will always balance maintaining full firm-wide velocity while improving our security and defense posture. You will develop tools, automation, and workflows that evolve with our rapidly growing and expanding footprint and ensure that security enhances, rather than hinders, innovation. If you are motivated by precision, ownership, and impact, you will find Etched the ideal place to advance your craft and contribute to the future of AI computing.
