About the role
The AMD Product Security Office (PSO) is seeking an experienced software engineer responsible for triaging incoming issues, managing vulnerabilities through analysis, remediation, and disclosure, and engaging with engineering teams, researchers, and partners. The position includes a focus on AI infrastructure and AI workloads.
What you'll do
- Analyze security vulnerabilities, define remediation strategies, and communicate risks to internal stakeholders while guiding vulnerability response.
- Support Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) by negotiating with researchers and partners.
- Develop and manage a feedback loop to engineering teams to drive continual improvement in product security posture.
- Develop and implement a threat intelligence program.
- Provide recommendations for improving vulnerability management with automation and applying AI-assisted tooling to vulnerability triage, analysis, and response.
What you'll need
- A degree in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or related subjects.
- Experience triaging incoming issues and managing vulnerabilities through analysis, remediation, and disclosure.
- Experience communicating technical risks to engineering and executive audiences and working across cross-functional stakeholder groups.
Nice to have
- Experience in overall platform security, device security microarchitecture, or CPU, GPU, SOC, or hardware security-oriented definition.
- Understanding of computer architecture, CPU and GPU/accelerator design, memory hierarchy, caches, and underlying hardware/firmware, including architectures (x86, ARM, and/or GPU/accelerator) and their security/virtualization extensions.
- Experience securing AI/ML workloads and GPU/accelerator stacks (e.g., ROCm) and their security requirements at datacenter scale.
- Proficiency in C/C++, Rust, and Python, with an understanding of assembly instruction sets (AMD64 or ARM).
- Experience designing or implementing secure systems, including threat modeling, security architecture, protocol design, network security, and OS security.
- Familiarity with interconnect standards and protocols such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, RDMA, SPI, I2C/I3C, and USB.
- Understanding of security principles (confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization, and auditing) and cryptographic algorithms.
- Familiarity with OS and virtualization technology, including Linux kernel/driver development, hypervisors/VMs, and containers (with Kubernetes, SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS experience).
- Development experience with micro-kernels and/or real-time OSes.
