About the role

AMD is seeking a Principal Infrastructure Architect to shape the next generation of infrastructure supporting the AMD Instinct environment, global labs, and data centers. The role focuses on transforming lab and data center environments into scalable, automated, cloud-like infrastructure, guiding architecture from vision to implementation across networking, virtualization, storage, observability, automation, and IaaS.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with infrastructure leaders and architects to define and evolve the target-state architecture for AMD’s global lab and data center infrastructure.
  • Help transform traditionally managed lab and data center environments into scalable, highly automated, cloud-like infrastructure.
  • Translate architecture into actionable implementation roadmaps and drive execution across infrastructure teams and sites.
  • Evaluate infrastructure technologies, tools, and services and provide architectural direction around technology selection.
  • Provide architectural leadership across networking, hypervisors/virtualized compute, storage, observability, automation, bare-metal infrastructure, and Infrastructure as a Service.
  • Partner with managers and technical teams to establish priorities and guide implementation of architectural standards and designs.
  • Build alignment across the business and with senior leadership around infrastructure architecture, automation, security, customer-support needs, and long-term direction.
  • Help influence infrastructure technology and purchasing decisions needed to deliver the target architecture.
  • During initial onboarding, develop a strong understanding of AMD’s architecture goals, current infrastructure environment, data center landscape, and active deployments.
  • Begin driving architectural plans into delivery teams and identifying sites and environments for implementation.
  • Establish a longer-term roadmap for scaling and implementing the architecture across AMD’s infrastructure environment.

Qualifications

  • Experience architecting and implementing infrastructure in a hyperscaler, near-hyperscaler, neocloud, large-scale hosting, or comparable cloud infrastructure environment.
  • Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure architecture combined with experience taking architecture through implementation.
  • Strong networking knowledge, including segmented network environments.
  • Experience with hypervisors and virtualized compute infrastructure.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise-scale storage architecture.
  • Experience with observability, monitoring, and infrastructure telemetry.
  • Experience designing or supporting Infrastructure as a Service and API-driven infrastructure.
  • Experience with automation, bare-metal infrastructure, and modern infrastructure management practices.
  • Experience developing technical roadmaps and driving architecture implementation across multiple teams or locations.
  • Ability to evaluate tools and technologies, understand trade-offs, and make recommendations based on technical and business requirements.
  • Experience communicating complex architecture and infrastructure strategy to senior or executive leadership.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional technical teams and drive execution without direct authority.
  • GPU, AI data center, HPC, or similarly large-scale compute infrastructure experience is desired.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or related technical field is preferred.
