THE ROLE:  

AMD is looking for an influential engineer to optimize AI workload running on AMD GPUs. You will be a founding member of a core team of exceptionally talented industry specialists to define the future of AI computing solutions.  

 

THE PERSON:  

Ideal candidates should possess a "Just-Do-It" mindset and strong motivation. They must be driven to understand the status quo and explore better solutions using the first principles of thinking.  Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art LLM inference and training at both the framework and kernel levels is highly preferred. 

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • Improve AMD GPU performance on open-source repositories for LLM workloads such as vLLM and SGLang. 

  • Co-optimize AI workloads on current AMD GPUs by analyzing the bottlenecks and mitigating them at the kernel level. 

  • Integrate AMD software stacks (RoCm, ATen) into open-source frameworks such as Pytorch, JAX, and Triton. 

  • Build strong technical relationships with peers and partners, and report learnings and gaps to GPU software and hardware engineers. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

  • Deep AI infrastructure experience with open-source frameworks (e.g., SGLang, vLLM, Jax, XLA, Pytorch, Triton). 

  • Strong kernel optimization skills using DSLs and HIP (or CUDA), plus PTX/SASS equivalents. 

  • Hands-on knowledge of modern GPU architecture. 

  • Demonstrated open-source contributions on GitHub. 

  • Motivational leadership and excellent interpersonal skills. 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS 

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
