FP&A Analyst

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.

This role goes beyond explaining last month's variance. You will help leadership answer the company's biggest questions: Where should we invest? How should we scale? What does growth look like over the next 12 to 24 months? Your financial models and planning will directly influence the decisions that shape the business.
You'll join at an early stage where many of the systems, processes, and planning infrastructure are still being built. This gives you the opportunity to create and shape the finance function alongside company leadership.
If you're energized by solving ambiguous problems, building from first principles, and partnering with leaders to make high-impact decisions, we'd love to meet you.

Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system, betting early on transformer and transformer-like architectures and on increasing model sizes. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors.

We are a fully in-person team in San Jose (Santana Row), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.
