Job Description:WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHINGWe care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.AMD together we advance_The Role:The TrainingAtScale team at AMD is looking for a Training Optimization Engineer to help build and optimize our large-scale training infrastructure on AMD GPUs.
This is an engineering-focused role centered around improving the performance, stability, and scalability of distributed training systems. You will work closely with internal model and platform teams to push the boundaries of generative AI model training.Key Responsibilities:
  • Participate in the development and maintenance of AMD’s internal training framework.
  • Optimize distributed training pipelines and parallelism strategies (Data Parallelism, Tensor Parallelism, Pipeline Parallelism, ZeRO, etc.).
  • Improve communication scheduling and kernel overlap to reduce training latency and maximize GPU utilization.
  • Tune the performance of core operators using HIP/CUDA and low-level profiling tools.
  • Integrate and adapt open-source training frameworks such as Megatron-LM, TorchTitan, DeepSpeed, etc.
  • Support internal model training workloads with performance, reliability, and scalability improvements.
  • Collaborate across teams to investigate and resolve system-level bottlenecks in large-scale training.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Solid engineering background and familiarity with end-to-end deep learning training workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with training framework internals (e.g., Megatron-LM, TorchTitan, DeepSpeed, FairScale).
  • Strong debugging and performance analysis skills (profiling, tracing, etc.).
  • Understanding of distributed training techniques such as data parallelism, tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, ZeRO optimization.
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Bonus Points:
  • Experience with large-scale model training (e.g., LLMs, ViTs, MoE).
  • Hands-on experience with CUDA or HIP kernel development.
  • Familiarity with communication libraries such as NCCL/RCCL and techniques like kernel overlap.
  • Prior involvement in high-performance ML infrastructure projects.
