Technical Recruiter (Entry Level)

Etched is building the world’s first AI inference system purpose-built for transformers, delivering significantly enhanced performance and cost efficiency. The Technical Recruiter role is designed for someone early in their career, where they will take ownership of their own requisitions while being mentored by experienced recruiters.

What you'll do:

• Own your own requisitions end-to-end - sourcing, screening, coordinating, closing
• Hunt candidates in places most recruiters never look: GitHub, arXiv preprints, Apache mailing lists, niche Discord servers, conference speaker lists or phd scraping
• Run structured interview coordination and lead candidate debriefs alongside hiring managers
• Work directly with the lead recruiters on offer strategy and closing
• Help us build our recruiting systems and processes from the ground up - your fingerprints will be on how we hire

What they're looking for:

• Have 0–2 years of recruiting, sales, sourcing, or talent coordination experience (or have taught yourself and can show the work) but you have a strong interest in grow into this field
• A track record that goes beyond the classroom: clubs, side projects, sports, volunteering, or anything that shows you invest in things you care about
• Are genuinely curious about AI, hardware, or deep tech - you don't need to be an engineer, but you get excited by it
• Move fast, figure things out, and ask for help when you're stuck
• Have low ego and high drive - you care about the outcome more than the credit
• Can have real conversations with technical people without faking it
• Are coachable - you want feedback and actually use it

Benefits:

• Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
• $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
• Housing subsidy of $2k per month for those living within walking distance of the office
• Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
• Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more
• Daily lunch + dinner in our office
• Mentorship from experienced recruiters and direct exposure to senior leadership
