Principal / Senior GPU Software Performance Engineer — Post‑Training THE ROLE: Drive the performance of post-training workloads on AMD Instinct™ GPUs. You’ll work across kernels, distributed training, compiler and framework integrations, and AI-assisted engineering workflows to deliver fast, stable, and reproducible fine-tuning and RL training pipelines on ROCm. This role is centered on hands-on performance engineering, with the added expectation that you can apply agentic and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate profiling, root-cause analysis, experiment orchestration, regression triage, and optimization at scale

THE PERSON: The ideal candidate is passionate about software engineering and the craft of training performance. You lead sophisticated cross-stack issues—spanning data pipelines, kernels, distributed training, runtime behavior, and compilers—to clear resolution. You communicate crisply and collaborate effectively with framework, compiler, kernel, and model teams across AMD, driving measurable improvements with rigor, ownership, and reproducibility

You are also comfortable using AI-assisted and agentic workflows to improve engineering productivity: automating repetitive analysis, generating performance hypotheses, accelerating regression
