Sr. Software Development Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career. Job Role and Responsibility: AMD, Inc. is hiring Sr. Software Development Engineer to research, design, develop, and test high-performance collective communication libraries, GPU communication runtimes, and benchmarking tools for AI/HPC workloads on AMD Instinct GPUs and next-generation accelerator platforms. Design, develop, optimize, troubleshoot, and debug software that enables efficient multi-GPU and multi-node communication across AMD's ROCm software stack. Contribute to open-source libraries for GPU communication, including RCCL (ROCm Collective Communications Library) and benchmarking tools including TransferBench, to maximize bandwidth utilization and minimize latency across PCIe, Infinity Fabric (xGMI), and high-speed network interconnects (RDMA/RoCE/InfiniBand). Develop and tune collective algorithms (AllReduce, AllGather, ReduceScatter, Broadcast, AllToAll, etc.) for distributed training and inference frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed, and vLLM. Design micro-benchmarks and performance characterization tools to evaluate GPU-to-GPU, GPU-to-NIC, and host-to-device transfer performance, and use results to influence hardware/firmware/topology decisions for upcoming AMD Instinct (MI-series) products. Collaborate with hardware, firmware, driver, and AI framework teams to bring up and enable new silicon, validate interconnect performance, and resolve cross-stack functional and performance issues. Work on problems of complex scope where analysis of situations and performance data requires review of architectural, system-level, and network-level factors. Apply knowledge of GPU architecture, parallel computing, networking (RDMA, NCCL/RCCL protocols), and modern AI/HPC workloads to the design, development, performance tuning, and testing of AMD's communication software and platforms.
