The Role
We are looking for an ambitious, driven AI & Datacenter Solutions Architect with strong technical fundamentals and a proven customer-facing track record to join AMD. This is a frontline, tip-of-the-spear role where you will work closely with strategic datacenter, cloud, and emerging neocloud customers, internal engineering teams, and ecosystem partners to help deploy, optimize, and scale AI and high-performance workloads on AMD CPU and GPU platforms. This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for an experienced engineer who already knows how to earn a customer's confidence — someone with the energy and initiative to drive complex technical engagements from first conversation to production deployment. The role blends hands-on systems work, AI workload enablement, and technical program management. You will act as the technical bridge between field requirements and internal AMD teams, and your success will depend as much on how you build trust as on what you know.
