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 As GPU Software Architect, you will provide technical leadership at the intersection of GPU architecture, multi‑ASIC platform bring‑up, and software enablement for next‑generation GPU products. This is a "Software-First" architecture role: you will reimagine and redefine the end-to-end software libraries lifecycle as it spans across multiple ASICs to create a unified software fabric and process supporting development of software libraries on cutting edge hardware.
You will serve as a bridging authority between software architecture and the hardware ecosystem, ensuring that architectural intent translates into working, performant, and scalable solutions for partnerships established with software libraries teams.
This role is focused on leading a team focused on new GPUs and new product introductions, with accountability spanning early architecture definition, pre‑silicon modeling, multi‑ASIC bring‑up strategy, and software readiness for emerging platforms.
The Person You are a deeply technical leader who thrives in ambiguous, first‑of‑kind environments. You combine strong architectural intuition with hands‑on experience bringing up complex hardware platforms and enabling software stacks on new silicon.
You are comfortable operating across layers — from architecture trade‑offs and interconnect topology down to firmware, drivers, and performance tooling — and you are trusted to make decisions when data is incomplete. You naturally connect and lead teams through technical credibility, clarifying intent, and reducing friction between hardware and software organizations.
