Work with AMD's architecture specialists to improve future products
Apply a data-driven approach, using profiling and benchmarking, to target optimization efforts
Stay informed of software and hardware trends and innovations, especially in ML models, algorithms, and GPU architecture
Design and develop new groundbreaking AMD technologies
Participate in new ASIC and hardware bring-ups
Debug and fix existing issues, and research alternative, more efficient ways to accomplish the same work
Contribute to upstream open-source projects and develop technical relationships with peers, partners, and open-source communities
Share AI-assisted workflows and best practices across the team to raise overall engineering productivity
Critically evaluate AI-generated code and analysis for correctness and performance before relying on it

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Strong programming background, C/C++ and Python preferred

Experience with ML frameworks and inference engines such as PyTorch, vLLM, or llama.cpp
Experience with GPU programming (HIP, CUDA, or Triton) and performance optimization is a plus
Ability to write high-quality code with keen attention to detail
Experience with modern concurrent programming and threading APIs
Experience with Linux development
Experience with software development processes and tools such as debuggers, source code control systems (GitHub), and profilers
Effective communication and problem-solving skills
Motivating leader with good interpersonal skills
