Staff 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 performance-sensitive GPU systems, including compiler pipelines, runtimes, firmware, and developer tooling. The engineer will work across various abstraction layers, including rustc internals, MIR, MLIR, LLVM IR, and AMDGPU code generation. Key responsibilities include designing typed interfaces across hardware boundaries, implementing target-specific lowering for GPU execution models, and developing bare-metal no_std Rust components. Required skills include deep expertise in Rust, C/C++, and compiler infrastructure like LLVM or GCC. The role addresses the challenge of ensuring safety and correctness in complex hardware-software systems by integrating program analysis, formal methods, and robust validation techniques to manage concurrency, memory models, and ISA-specific requirements.
