Sr. Solutions Engineer - TX, Austin, United States
Originally posted 15 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role will define and deliver production-oriented solutions that connect AMD CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, memory, and software platforms with the operating systems, databases, runtimes, APIs, developer frameworks, and cloud-native services.
What you'll do
- Define and execute AMD's solution engineering strategy for integrating AMD hardware and software into open-source, commercial, enterprise, cloud, and edge ecosystems.
- Drive enablement and upstream collaboration across Linux kernels, device drivers, firmware interfaces, system libraries, package ecosystems, container runtimes, Kubernetes, schedulers, service meshes, and observability platforms.
- Integrate and optimize relational, NoSQL, analytical, vector, graph, and distributed database platforms on AMD systems.
- Design stable, secure, high-performance APIs and SDK integration patterns and develop Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, connectors, and reference patterns.
- Apply rigorous profiling, benchmarking, tracing, and systems analysis to improve latency, throughput, scalability, availability, energy efficiency, total cost of ownership, and quality of service.
- Partner directly with strategic customers, hyperscalers, OEMs, ISVs, database and platform vendors, and open-source maintainers to resolve integration barriers.
What you'll need
- Deep expertise in heterogeneous computing across CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, storage, memory subsystems, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure.
- Strong knowledge of Linux kernel architecture, drivers, system calls, memory management, I/O, networking stacks, security mechanisms, and performance tooling.
- Hands-on experience with runtime services, compilers, language runtimes, system libraries, containers, Kubernetes, distributed schedulers, observability, CI/CD, and software supply chains.
- Strong database and data-platform expertise spanning relational, NoSQL, analytical, vector, graph, caching, messaging, and distributed storage technologies.
- Experience designing and integrating REST, gRPC, event-driven, and systems-level APIs, with attention to compatibility, security, observability, versioning, and developer experience.
- Strong programming skills in C, C++, Python, Go, Rust, or comparable systems languages.
Nice to have
- Experience with ROCm, AMD Zen Software Studio, AMD Enterprise AI, or comparable accelerator, compiler, runtime, and developer-tool ecosystems.
- Working knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP), including server, client, tool, resource, authentication, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Familiarity with practical AI infrastructure, model serving, retrieval-augmented applications, vector databases, and inference performance.
