About Etched

Etched aims to build the hardware for superintelligence. As we hit the limits of speed, cost, and scale on GPUs, specialized chips are inevitable and we aim to be on the forefront of this movement. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep chain-of-thought reasoning.

About the Role

As the first hire on our finance team you will be a key financial architect behind our most critical initiatives. From deciding pricing, SKUs, and unit economics to accounting, financing strategies, cash flow and supply chain management, we are looking for a driven and talented FP&A partner to execute on our day-to-day financial operations.

You will work closely with the executive team to build and implement the financial infrastructure that allows Etched to scale. This is a high-trust role that will require end-to-end ownership over key strategic projects. A successful candidate will be the type of individual that is constantly looking to improve existing processes and automate tasks to free themselves up to work on higher leverage projects. This role reports directly to our Head of Strategic Finance.

Representative projects

• Create monthly, quarterly, and annual P&L, Cash Flow, and HC models
• Establish an accounting, invoice, and spend management system
• Analyze and recommend pricing strategies and payment plans in partnership with the GTM team
• Analyze unit economics and identify opportunities for improvement in supplier selection
• Model financing options including line-of-credit usage with suppliers and trade finance solutions for customers
• Build and optimize our working capital position to maximize our growth prospects
• Prepare our quarterly board packets and investor materials

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CPA, CFA, or advanced certification is a plus.
• 3-5+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic finance roles, preferably within a startup or high-growth environment. Banking, Private Equity, and Consulting experience is also welcomed.
• Advanced financial modeling, cash flow forecasting, and proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets; experience with financial planning software and data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau
• Strong quantitative skills with the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; proven ability to work collaboratively across functions.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, proactive, adaptable, and aligned with our mission-driven, high-energy team environment. This role will be a high impact role and requires an individual who can operate independently and is excited by the opportunity to help push the company forward

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.

Strong candidates may also have experience with:

• Prior exposure to supply chain finance, equipment financing, or vendor financing.
• Deep understanding of AI, hardware, and/or semiconductors
• Deep understanding of the AI research field and broader market
• Deep understanding of the unit economics of GPU and hyperscale clouds
