GTM Intern

About Etched

We are building hardware for frontier intelligence. Our focus is on delivering best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads, particularly for inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors, Etched is led by experienced engineers and is revolutionizing the infrastructure layer for the rapidly growing AI industry.

Job Summary

We are hiring for a GTM intern to support our go-to-market function. The intern will assist with product launches, deal logistics, performance benchmarking, customer materials and enablement, and strategic partnerships. Interns will start in Fall '26, Spring '27, and Summer '27.

Key Responsibilities

• Research model changes, data center development, and vendor news
• Partner with executives across recruiting, operations, and engineering to guide customer assessments and analyses
• Work cross-functionally with legal, architecture, and software to best coordinate efforts across GTM
• Build high-leverage decks, benchmarks, and ROI/TCO models
• Develop and manage our GTM ops engine: CRM, pipeline tracking, reporting, lead gen infrastructure
• Support product launches with operations, communications, and competitive strategy
• Track and report progress on GTM KPIs, OKRs, and overall engagement health
• Iterate fast, reduce friction, and raise execution velocity

Qualifications

• Previous work or internship experience in early-stage or high-growth startup ops, GTM, strategy, or chief-of-staff roles
• A background or interest in AI infrastructure, deep tech, or semiconductors
• Operational rigor combined with storytelling and customer intuition
• Comfort working across functions, from engineering to legal to sales
• Strong interest in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments with lots of ambiguity
• Ability to analyze customer data, prioritize action, and execute quickly

How We're Different

We believe in the Bitter Lesson. As the first inference-focused frontier AI system, we bet early on transformer and transformer-like architectures and on increasing model sizes. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many competitors. We are a fully in-person team in San Jose (Santana Row), and we highly 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.

Program Details

• 12-week paid internship
• Generous housing support for those relocating
• Daily lunch and dinner in our office
• Based at our office in San Jose, CA
• Direct mentorship from industry leaders and world-class engineers
• Opportunity to work on one of the most important problems of our time
