THE ROLE:

AMD is looking for an MLIR compiler engineer who is passionate about representing and lowering deep-learning operators for next-generation large language and vision models on AMD GPUs. You will be a member of a core team of incredibly talented industry specialists and will work with the very latest hardware and software technology, building the MLIR dialect and operator-lowering surface — including a new single dynamic-shape graph.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate should be passionate about compilers and intermediate representations and possess the drive to take sophisticated issues to resolution. Able to communicate effectively and work optimally with different teams across AMD.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Help architect the dynamic-graph IR lowering on a single graph
• Implement operator definitions and MLIR lowerings for attention and control-flow operators required by new models
• Build model- and operator-level runtime-status reporting and analyze graph-optimizer behavior
• Contribute to MLIR dialect conventions and the operator-add checklist; review operator-lowering work
• Stay informed of compiler, algorithm, and architecture trends and apply them to the IR stack
• Debug and fix existing issues and research alternative, more efficient ways to accomplish the same work
• Develop technical relationships with peers and partners

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong object-oriented programming background, C/C++ preferred, with a keen attention to detail
• Hands-on experience with MLIR (dialects, lowering, passes)
• Solid understanding of deep-learning operators and computational graphs
• LLVM, GPU programming (HIP / CUDA), and ONNX / ONNX Runtime experience is a plus
  Attention / transformer and diffusion operator internals; dynamic-shape and quantized inference is a plus
• Experience with Windows and Linux development; familiarity with debuggers, source code control systems (GitHub), and profilers
• Regular, hands-on use of AI coding agents / assistants to improve day-to-day engineering efficiency
• Professional working proficiency in English for cross-site collaboration
• Effective communication and problem-solving skills
