About Sam Bridge

I recruit the engineers building the infrastructure behind modern AI.At Amazon Annapurna Labs, I partner with hiring leaders to scale teams designing custom silicon — from ASIC design to system-level architecture — powering AWS at global scale.My focus:• ASIC / SoC Design (RTL, DV, Physical Design)• Silicon Engineering & Architecture• AI/ML Hardware InfrastructureI’ve built pipelines for some of the hardest-to-fill roles in tech — where the talent pool is small, competition is high, and the bar is even higher.What I do differently:→ Deep market mapping in niche domains→ High-conviction outreach (not spray-and-pray)→ Long-term relationship building with top-tier engineersIf you’re working in ASIC, silicon, or AI infrastructure — or building teams in this space — let’s connect.

   At Annapurna Labs, we build the silicon and software that powers the hardest problems in cloud computing.Custom chips. Accelerators. Software stacks built from the ground up — designed to do things off-the-shelf hardware simply can\'t.The customers we work with aren\'t optimizing existing systems. They\'re building things that didn\'t exist before. We give them the infrastructure to do it.
