Software Development Engineer - Rust, Compilers, and GPU Systems will join the team developing next-generation systems software for AMD GPUs using Rust as a core technical direction. This role involves building production-quality Rust components for low-level, performance-sensitive GPU systems, including compilers, runtimes, firmware, and developer tooling. The engineer will design compiler pipelines involving rustc, MIR, MLIR, and LLVM IR while developing target-specific code generation for GPU execution models. Key responsibilities include defining typed interfaces across hardware boundaries, implementing no std Rust components, and ensuring memory safety and concurrency correctness. The role requires expertise in Rust, C/C++, and production compiler infrastructure like LLVM or GCC. The work addresses the challenge of integrating high-trust software with complex hardware-software co-design, focusing on improving the safety and reliability of GPU stack components through advanced program analysis and formal methods.
