TL;DR · Principal Infrastructure Architect

The Principal Infrastructure Architect is a PMTS-level individual contributor role focused on shaping the next generation of infrastructure for the AMD Instinct environment, global labs, and data centers. You will partner with infrastructure leaders to transform traditionally managed environments into scalable, automated, cloud-like infrastructure. Your daily responsibilities include defining target-state architecture, developing implementation roadmaps, and driving execution across various sites. You will provide technical leadership across networking, hypervisors, virtualized compute, storage, observability, automation, bare-metal infrastructure, and Infrastructure as a Service. The role requires evaluating technologies to solve large-scale compute problems in GPU, AI data center, and HPC contexts. You must possess deep knowledge of segmented networks, enterprise-scale storage, and API-driven infrastructure to influence long-term strategy and technical purchasing decisions.

What you'll do

  • Define and evolve the target-state architecture for global lab and data center infrastructure.
  • Transform managed lab environments into scalable, automated, cloud-like infrastructure.
  • Translate architectural visions into actionable implementation roadmaps for infrastructure teams.
  • Evaluate infrastructure technologies, tools, and services to provide technical direction.
  • Provide architectural leadership across networking, virtualization, storage, and observability.
  • Build alignment with senior leadership on infrastructure strategy, automation, and security.
  • Influence infrastructure technology and purchasing decisions to deliver the target architecture.

What we're looking for

  • Provide architectural leadership across networking, hypervisors, storage, observability, automation, and Infrastructure as a Service.
  • Translate architectural vision into actionable implementation roadmaps and drive execution across infrastructure teams and sites.
  • Build alignment across the business and with senior leadership regarding infrastructure architecture, automation, and security.
  • Evaluate infrastructure technologies and tools to provide architectural direction and make informed technology decisions.
  • Experience architecting and implementing infrastructure in a hyperscaler, near-hyperscaler, neocloud, or large-scale hosting environment (preferred).
  • Experience with GPU, AI data center, HPC, or similarly large-scale compute infrastructure (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field (preferred).
  • Location in Austin, TX (preferred).
