Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) – GenAI & Customer Performance Engineering 

THE ROLE: 

We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead forward‑deployed Generative AI programs with AMD's most strategic customers. This is a customer‑facing technical leadership role that sits at the intersection of frontier AI research, production‑grade GenAI systems, and large‑scale GPU deployments. In this role, you will partner closely with forward‑deployed engineers (FDEs), internal engineering teams, and customer stakeholders to ensure that state‑of‑the‑art open‑source and closed‑source GenAI models text‑to‑text and multimodal run performantly, scalably, and cost‑effectively on AMD GPU platforms. 

You will act as the single‑threaded owner for complex GenAI performance and enablement programs, translating customer needs into executable technical roadmaps while driving outcomes that directly impact customer success, platform adoption, and GPU scale‑out. This role supports global customers and teams and may require occasional work outside standard local hours, balanced with flexibility and autonomy in how work is scheduled. 

THE PERSON: 

As a Technical Program Manager you will partner with our cross functional teams to manage customer accounts.

• Go‑getter mentality with strong ownership and bias for action in a global setting. 
• Comfortable moving fast, diving deep, and leading from the front in ambiguous problem spaces. 
• Adaptive learner who thrives in rapidly evolving GenAI domains. 
• Highly collaborative, team‑oriented approach focused on winning with customers and partners. 
• Clear, concise communicator capable of engaging both deeply technical audiences and senior executives. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of forward‑deployed GenAI programs with AMD's most strategic customers, from onboarding through production readiness and large‑scale GPU deployment. 
• Act as the single‑threaded technical program owner for GenAI performance, scalability, and enablement initiatives, driving outcomes across software frameworks, model architectures, and AMD GPU platforms. 
• Lead GenAI performance optimization efforts focused on latency, throughput, concurrency, and cost efficiency for interactive and real‑time workloads (e.g., chat, agents, reasoning systems). 
• Work deeply with inference and training frameworks (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, emerging GenAI stacks), partnering with engineering teams to drive model and framework‑level optimizations upstream. 
• Translate customer requirements into executable technical roadmaps, defining clear milestones, dependencies, risks, and success metrics tied to measurable performance impact. 
• Serve as the primary technical program interface between customers and AMD engineering, product, and business teams, ensuring alignment and momentum across fast‑moving, cross‑functional environments. 
• Communicate technical trade‑offs, risks, and program health with clarity and credibility to senior engineers, customer executives, and AMD leadership. 
• Feed learnings from customer engagements back into product and engineering roadmaps, influencing platform direction and accelerating GenAI adoption at scale. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• 10+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager leading complex, cross‑functional programs, with significant exposure to ML, AI, or Generative AI systems.
• Proven experience owning medium‑to‑large scale AI programs with multiple stakeholders and complex technical dependencies.
• Strong hands‑on understanding of GenAI inference and performance optimization, including latency, throughput, concurrency, and cost‑efficiency trade‑offs.
• Experience working at the framework and system level, with exposure to modern GenAI stacks such as PyTorch, inference servers, and serving frameworks (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, or similar).
• Ability to reason across the full GenAI stack  from model architecture to framework behavior to GPU‑accelerated infrastructure and translate that understanding into execution plans.
• Strong technical communication skills, with experience engaging senior engineers, customer executives, and internal leadership on technical trade‑offs and program status.
• Experience operating in fast‑moving, ambiguous global environments, balancing speed, quality, and scale while maintaining execution rigor.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Bachelor's or Master's or PhD degree in Computer/Electrical Engineering or similar
