Technical Program Manager - ROCm Libraries

• As a TPM in this group, you will not just track schedules; you will be an active technical partner.You willfacilitatearchitectural decision-making,assistwith the triage and debugging of complex issues, and translate intricate technical requirements for diverse stakeholders ranging from kernel engineers to executive leadership. You willoperateat the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), ensuring our math libraries deliver world-class performance on AMD Instinct and AMD Radeon accelerators.

• Program Execution & Delivery: Drive the end-to-end lifecycle of theROCmLibrariesincluding release planning, roadmap definition, and execution forLibraries such asrocBLAS,hipBLASLt,andother Libraries asrequired.

• Compiler & Code Gen:Facilitatediscussions on code generation strategies (e.g., auto-tuning kernels) and optimizations at the Intermediate Representation (IR) level to maximize hardwareutilization.

• Technical Triage & Debugging: Activelyparticipatein the triage process for software defects. Leverage your technical background to help engineers prioritize bugs, understand root causes (whether in the library or the compiler backend), and unblock critical paths.

• Architectural Decision Support:Facilitatetechnical discussions between software architects, research teams, and silicon engineers. Help drive consensus on API designs and optimization strategies for new hardware generations.

• Stakeholder Management: Translate complex technical requirements and status updates into clear, actionable communications. Bridge the gap between technical engineering teams and management.

Components you willsupport willinclude, but are not limited to:

• rocBLAS: The foundational BLAS library implemented in HIP C++ andoptimizedfor AMD GPUs, coveringLevel-1,Level-2, andLevel-3linear algebra operations.
• hipBLASLt: A high-performance library providing flexible General Matrix-Matrix (GEMM) operations, essential for modern AI/ML workloads that require functionality beyond traditional BLAS (e.g., fusion, post-processing).
• hipSPARSELt: A sparse marshalling library that enables high-performance sparse matrix operations on AMD discrete GPUs, critical foroptimizingmemory bandwidth in large-scale AI models., Join the team building BLAS and GEMM libraries that powers the world’s most important AI and HPC workloads. You will work at the intersection of numerical linear algebra and cutting edge GPU architectures, on the foundational component of both modern AI systems and the world’s most powerful supercomputers., * Design and develop new AMD software technologies.
• Participate in bringing new GPU products to market.
• Enhancing our existing software to take advantage of new hardware capabilities.
• Debug and fix defects in our existing products.
• Work with AMD’s architecture specialists to improve future products., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position. AMD’s “Responsible AI Policy” is available here.

You are accustomed to working in a dynamic, geographically distributed agile team, where partnership and collaboration are paramount. Youpossessexcellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organization, and attention to detail. With a keen interest in data, you will draw on your strong technical background, analytical capabilities, and interpersonal skills to drive process improvements, improve program operations, and engage with key partners at all levels, from driving technical discussions with developers through to communication with executives., * Program Management: 5+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Engineering Management, or as a Senior Software Engineer with leadership responsibilities.

• Compiler & Architecture Knowledge:Experience working with or managing projects involving compiler technologies (e.g., LLVM, GCC, Open64).

• Understanding ofCode Generation techniques, JIT compilation, or Intermediate Representations (IR) (e.g., MLIR, LLVM IR) and how theyimpactlibrary performance.

• GPU & HPC Domain:Deep understanding of GPU computing (AMDROCm, CUDA, or OpenCL).
• Familiarity with High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.
• Knowledge of linear algebra concepts (GEMM, Sparse Matrices, Tensor operations).
• Technical Literacy: Ability to read and understand technical documentation, bug reports, and basic code structures (C++, Python, Assembly/ISA familiarity is a plus).
• Process & Tools:Proficiencywith Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira, Confluence, and GitHub.
• Library Development: Hands-on experience developing or managing math libraries (BLAS, FFT, LAPACK) or similar performance-critical software.
