AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking a driven and collaborative MLOps Engineer to join our Engineering Operations team in Atlanta. You will support and optimize large-scale, multi-GPU/CPU ML infrastructure to enable world-class AI and rendering research. Collaborating with teams across North America and Europe, you will design robust, automated pipelines and help push the boundaries of machine learning and high-performance compute in a production data center environment.

THE PERSON:

You are a hands-on engineer passionate about both machine learning operations and large-scale infrastructure. You excel at collaborating with researchers and IT specialists, drive automation, and enjoy solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of data science and systems engineering.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Architect, deploy, and maintain high-availability Linux/GPU/CPU server clusters for ML workloads, ensuring optimal performance, security, and scalability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with data science, research, and IT teams (across North America and Europe) to streamline ML model training, test, deployment, and monitoring pipelines.
• Build and automate end-to-end CI/CD workflows for ML (using MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow, Airflow, or similar tools).
• Configure, monitor, and optimize large-scale NAS and data transfer for sharing of models, datasets, and training results.
• Proactively monitor infrastructure and application health (using Prometheus, Grafana, or similar), addressing performance bottlenecks, failures, and incidents.
• Implement robust security, user management, and access protocols in line with international compliance (GDPR, etc.).
• Document processes, workflows, and troubleshooting guides for global teams; support remote debugging and rapid incident response.
• Stay abreast of trends in AI infrastructure, MLOps toolchains, and AMD hardware accelerators.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong programming/scripting background (Python, Bash, or Go), and proven experience with Linux server administration.
• Practical experience managing GPU/CPU clusters and Kubernetes orchestration.
• Experience with infrastructure automation (Ansible, Terraform) and CI/CD pipeline design.
• Familiarity with MLOps stacks (MLflow, DVC, Kubeflow, Flyte, Airflow).
• Monitoring and troubleshooting distributed workloads for ML/AI, HPC, or rendering.
• Experience configuring and managing NAS or other distributed file systems for large data.
• Knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, VLANs, firewalls), data privacy, and compliance.
• Strong communication, troubleshooting, and documentation skills.
• Previous exposure to supporting render farms or real-time graphics pipelines is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or closely related field.

Location: Atlanta GA Data Center (Onsite)
