Responsibilities

AMD Advanced Rendering and Engineering is a group of cross-disciplinary teams working at the intersection of graphics research and productization. Our mission is to create cutting-edge software to equip developers and publishers with the tools they need to build immersive, high-performance games optimized for AMD hardware.

You are...:

An experienced software engineer with a passion for realizing the full potential of breakthrough and emerging technologies. With strong technical background in GPU/APU programming, C++, and machine learning. Also essential to the role is your ability to collaborate both in and across teams, and knit together information from a range of specialist domains. You will have significant influence over the technical direction, and the opportunity to start from first principles on new projects.

What You'll do:

• Work closely with research engineers to transform proof-of-concept prototypes into mature products at a very high level of quality.
• Collaborate with external game development partners to integrate these technologies into their titles.
• Optimize, extend, package and document high-level compute shader and C++ code.

Your Experience:

• Computer science background with minimum of 5 years full-time experience writing efficient, high-level shader code (HLSL SM6, GLSL, Slang, etc) and modern C++ (17 and up)
• Strong understanding of low-level machine learning concepts and design patterns including automatic differentiation, computational graphs, tensor broadcasting, etc.
• Knowledge of real-time rendering and graphics algorithms.

• Excellent written and verbal English skills.

• Willing to occasionally travel, both domestically and internationally.

Desirable but not Essential:

• Knowledge of GPU ISAs, especially AMD RDNA and modern game console architectures

• Experience working with modern machine learning libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)

• Knowledge of physically based rendering algorithms (sampling and shading, light transport, etc.)
• Experience with modern graphics APIs such as DirectX 12 or Vulkan.
• Applied mathematics background in a field such as linear algebra, differential calculus, stochastic optimization and statistical analysis.

Your Academics:

• PhD, Bachelor, or Master of Science degree with emphasis in computer science, computer engineers, or applied mathematics with relevant experience preferred.
