Senior Staff Software Development Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING 

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.  

THE ROLE:

The AI revolution is based on ultra-high performance math libraries running on the world's most advance compute accelerators. The role will be to work at the frontier of computing, at the intersection of numeric programming and next-generation GPU architectures, to build the fastest GEMM and Tensor operations the world has ever seen. You will build code that runs in the fastest data centers and supercomputers, and which forms the foundation of every major AI model today.

 

THE PERSON:

You are accustomed to working in a dynamic, geographically distributed agile team, where partnership and collaboration are paramount. You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong attention to detail. You are results-oriented and accustomed to tight deadlines and changing priorities. Most importantly, you are constantly thinking of ways to improve performance of multi-node GPU applications.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

 

• Design, implement, and test features to enhance GPU support in communication libraries, middleware and frameworks
• Deliver benchmarks, profile results and optimize code to maximize performance of multi-node GPU applications
• Deliver high-quality code and documentation following best practices for open-source software development
• Work with key technical experts at our customers, across AMD, and with our industry partners to advance scale out and scale-up software and hardware solutions.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong background developing system software in C/C++
• Experience with at least one of the following:
• Strong experience with networking and storage
• Implementing communication middleware like MPI/SHMEM
• Implementing lower-level communication frameworks like UCX and libfabric, or development using RDMA APIs
• Development and optimization of communication collective algorithms (e.g. AllReduce)
• Familiarity with GPU programming in HIP or CUDA
• In-depth knowledge of best practices in software development, including testing, profiling, debugging, documentation, version control, issue tracking, and planning
• Proven track record contributing to open-source projects

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• B.Sc. or B.Eng. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
• Advanced degrees, such as M.Sc., M.Eng., Ph.D. are preferred.
