JOB TITLE: Principal System Software Architect, AI/GPU Platforms
The Principal System Software Architect, AI/GPU Platforms joins the system software architecture team to develop next-generation, rack-scale AI platforms for MI400-class accelerators. This role involves owning the end-to-end system software architecture for subsystems including GPU memory management, scheduling, RAS, and scale-up/scale-out interconnect software models. The architect defines how the software stack exposes hardware to maximize performance and reliability for large AI and HPC deployments. Key responsibilities include driving architecture across kernel-mode drivers, user-mode runtimes, and firmware interfaces while partnering with silicon architects during pre-silicon definition. Required expertise includes Linux Memory Management, GPU/DRM driver development, and cache coherence protocols. The role addresses technical challenges in multi-GPU topologies, collective communications like RCCL, and data-center fabrics such as Infinity Fabric and Ultra Ethernet.
