TL;DR · CVP Software Infrastructure and Forward Deployed Engineering

CVP Software Infrastructure and Forward Deployed Engineering leads two critical capabilities within the AIG software organization to accelerate development and customer success. The role involves owning the engineering infrastructure, developer productivity layer, and internal developer platform, including CI/CD pipelines and workflows integrated with GPU capacity. Additionally, the position builds and leads the Forward Deployed Engineering function, where engineers work directly with customers to deploy and optimize the ROCm and AI stack. This individual translates field intelligence into prioritized engineering roadmaps while creating repeatable patterns and reference architectures. Key requirements include technical leadership in cloud infrastructure or AI platforms, a deep understanding of the hardware/software stack from the metal up, and commercial acumen regarding deal velocity. The role addresses the challenge of scaling adoption by converting high-touch engagements into scalable tools and automated workflows.

What you'll do

  • Manage the internal developer platform, including tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and workflows for the software organization.
  • Optimize engineer productivity and workload management against GPU capacity and compute utilization.
  • Establish non-punitive metrics to drive efficiency in how the team consumes hardware resources.
  • Build and lead the Forward Deployed Engineering function to deploy and optimize AMD software with customers.
  • Translate field intelligence and customer challenges into prioritized engineering roadmaps.
  • Convert high-touch customer engagements into repeatable patterns, reference architectures, and scalable tools.
  • Manage high-stakes technical crises and coordinate executive communication during critical system failures.

What we're looking for

  • A BS, MS, or equivalent degree with direct experience.
  • Demonstrated track record leading high-impact technical teams in environments like Cloud Infrastructure, AI Platform, or HPC (preferred).
  • Understanding of the technology stack from the metal up (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of commercial drivers such as ARR, Churn, and Margin (preferred).
  • Ability to articulate how technical solutions impact deal velocity and business outcomes (preferred).
  • Experience managing high-stakes crisis incidents and executive communication (preferred).
