AMD is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to join the team building modern Windows desktop software that helps users discover, configure, and get the most from their AMD hardware and software features. As a key contributor, you will design and develop reliable, high-performance experiences across the application stack. You will work at the intersection of native C++ systems programming, Qt/QML user interfaces, graphics and display technologies, and service-oriented application architecture. Your work will help deliver polished, secure, and maintainable software to millions of AMD customers.   THE PERSON: The ideal candidate is an innovative and pragmatic software engineer with a strong problem-solving mindset and a passion for building quality products. You are comfortable working across technical boundaries, turning ambiguous requirements into durable designs, and delivering production-ready software in a fast-paced environment. You bring sound engineering judgment, strong ownership, and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, architects, product managers, and partner teams across regions. You are motivated by difficult technical problems and are diligent about correctness, performance, reliability, accessibility, and the end-user experience.

Design, implement, and maintain sophisticated software features using modern C++ and Qt. Develop and enhance native Windows application components, including runtime services, client adapters, and Qt/QML user interfaces. Build robust communication and data flows between application components using gRPC and Protocol Buffers. Integrate software features with AMD graphics, display, performance, and system technologies. Translate product requirements into clear technical designs, implementation plans, and maintainable code. Diagnose and resolve complex issues involving concurrency, IPC, service lifecycles, performance, and system integration. Validate new features through unit testing, integration testing, code review, debugging, and release qualification. Improve software quality through thoughtful API design, automated tests, observability, security practices, and disciplined engineering processes. Collaborate closely with feature teams, driver and platform engineers, QA, user experience, and project management to deliver customer-ready solutions. Contribute to the evolution of a scalable, resilient, and maintainable architecture for future AMD software products. Participate in technical planning, design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring of other engineers.   PREFERRED EXPERIENCES: Expert knowledge of C++ and hands-on experience developing production software for Windows. Strong experience with Qt and QML, including Qt application architecture, signals and slots, model/view patterns, and UI performance. Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, IPC, or other distributed/service-oriented communication technologies. Solid understanding of object-oriented design, software architecture, data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles. Strong understanding of multithreaded programming, synchronization, asynchronous processing, and resource ownership. Experience with Windows system programming, desktop application development, or hardware-accelerated software. Familiarity with graphics, display, GPU, driver, performance, or system-level
