Job description

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 TEAM

AMD’s Data Center GPU organization builds high-performance GPUs for large scale machine learning. The Triton compiler and kernel teams are central to unlocking performance, stability, and usability of AMD Instinct™ GPUs in the world’s most demanding training environments.

This is not a SaaS role. Success is measured by software quality delivered to customer managed, on-premises systems: performance, correctness, stability, compatibility, and developer experience.

THE ROLE

AMD is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for the Triton compiler and kernel software stack. You will lead open‑source and customer‑facing deliverables that enable high‑performance ML workloads on AMD GPUs.

You will partner closely with compiler, kernel, runtime, performance, QA, and framework teams. While you will not write production code, the role requires strong technical fluency and the ability to drive priorities across complex system‑level trade‑offs. Regular, direct customer engagement is a core expectation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the Triton compiler and kernel roadmap, driving improvements in performance, correctness, portability, and usability.
• Translate customer and ecosystem needs into clear requirements, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Balance priorities across features, performance optimization, bug fixes, stability, upstream contributions, and releases.
• Ensure high‑quality on‑prem software delivery through strong release readiness, testing, CI quality, and regression prevention.
• Act as the customer voice through regular engagement with research, infrastructure, and training teams.
• Lead open‑source engagement, including upstream contributions, issue triage, and community collaboration.
• Establish strong operational cadence, execution tracking, and customer‑focused metrics.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Solid background in technical product management for systems software, compilers, ML infrastructure, GPU software, or developer platforms.
• Familiarity with compiler concepts (LLVM/MLIR), GPU kernels, or performance‑critical software.
• Experience working with open‑source projects.
• Exposure to large‑scale ML training environments and on‑prem deployments.

EDUCATION

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
