Responsibilities
- Design, develop, validate, and enable Kubernetes-based orchestration solutions for AMD EPYC confidential computing platforms.
- Integrate AMD SEV and SEV-SNP capabilities with Kubernetes, Confidential Containers, Kata Containers, attestation services, and related infrastructure.
- Develop topology-aware orchestration and resource-management capabilities using NUMA locality, CCD/CCX topology, cache hierarchy, SMT placement, memory affinity, and device locality.
- Integrate and validate Kubernetes CPU Manager, Topology Manager, Memory Manager, Dynamic Resource Allocation, NRI, device plugins, and scheduling frameworks.
- Develop functional, interoperability, performance, scalability, and topology-awareness test suites.
- Debug and optimize software spanning Kubernetes, container runtimes, Linux, KVM/QEMU, guest firmware, attestation services, and platform resource-management layers.
- Contribute code, tests, documentation, design guidance, and technical leadership to relevant open-source projects.
- Support Trustee, VirTEE, and other confidential-computing and attestation infrastructure projects.
Requirements
- Strong software development experience with Go, Rust, Python, and Bash in cloud-native infrastructure, distributed systems, systems software, virtualization, or container platforms.
- Deep technical expertise with Kubernetes and container orchestration, including cluster architecture, scheduling, resource management, workload placement, networking, storage, observability, and production deployment.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes ecosystem technologies such as KubeVirt, OpenShift Virtualization, Red Hat OpenShift, container runtimes, schedulers, operators, device plugins, NRI, DRA, CPU Manager, or Topology Manager.
- Strong understanding of AMD EPYC and modern server architecture, including NUMA topology, CCD/CCX organization, cache hierarchy, SMT behavior, memory locality, PCIe topology, accelerator placement, and CPU pinning.
- Experience designing or implementing topology-aware resource-management solutions for Kubernetes and virtualized environments.
- Technical proficiency with Linux, KVM, QEMU, libvirt, guest firmware, virtualization infrastructure, VM lifecycle management, performance analysis, and platform debugging.
- Experience with AMD SEV-SNP, SEV, confidential VMs, confidential containers, attestation services, trusted execution environments, or hardware-assisted workload isolation.
- Experience developing platform validation frameworks, CI environments, end-to-end tests, performance benchmarks, scalability testing, hardware-backed validation, or infrastructure demonstrations.
- Experience collaborating with operating system vendors, cloud providers, software partners, hardware teams, customers, or open-source communities to bring infrastructure features into production.
- Working knowledge of attestation, policy enforcement, workload identity, secret-release workflows, certificate management, or related confidential-computing security technologies.
- Open-source contributions involving code, reviews, tests, documentation, design proposals, or technical leadership are desirable.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
Benefits
- The role is located in Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA and is marked hybrid.
- The role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
- AMD benefits are offered, with details referenced in AMD benefits at a glance.
About AMD
AMD designs and sells CPUs, GPUs, and adaptive/embedded computing products for PCs, data centers, gaming, and edge devices. Its portfolio includes Ryzen and EPYC processors, Radeon and Instinct graphics, and adaptive SoCs from its Xilinx acquisition, sold to OEMs, cloud providers, and device makers.
