Role Description AMD is looking for a strategic software engineering lead who is passionate about improving the performance of key applications and benchmarks. You will be a member of a core team of incredibly talented industry specialists and will work with the very latest hardware and software technology. We are seeking a Software Optimization Engineer with deep experience improving real‑world browser performance in Chromium‑based browsers. In this role, you will focus on identifying, analyzing, and resolving performance bottlenecks across the Chromium stack, working close to the browser engine, OS, and hardware. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys low‑level performance analysis, system‑level optimization, and collaborative work with browser, OS, and silicon teams to deliver measurable user‑visible gains. Key Responsibilities - Profile and optimize performance across Chromium subsystems, including Blink, V8, Skia, GPU/ANGLE, and browser multi‑process architecture. - Identify CPU, memory, GPU, and power bottlenecks using real workloads, benchmarks, and field telemetry. - Implement performance improvements in areas such as page load, rendering, JavaScript execution, graphics/compositing, and browser responsiveness. - Drive optimizations across platforms (Windows primary; Linux/macOS experience a plus), including interactions with OS schedulers, graphics stacks, and drivers. - Analyze performance using industry‑standard and custom tools (e.g., Perfetto, ETW, Chrome Tracing, VTune, PIX, GPUView, perf). - Collaborate with browser vendors, OS teams, compiler teams, and hardware partners to co‑optimize software and platforms. - Contribute clean, well‑reviewed patches upstream to Chromium or downstream forks as appropriate. - Translate benchmark and microarchitectural findings into practical, scalable browser improvements. - Document performance investigations, results, and best practices; communicate findings clearly to technical stakeholders. Qualifications - Software engineering experience, with a strong focus on performance optimization. - Hands‑on experience working with Chromium or Chromium‑based browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge, internal forks). - Strong proficiency in C++ and modern C++ performance best practices. - Deep understanding of browser internals, including at least two of the following: - Rendering pipeline (Blink lifecycle, style/layout/paint) - JavaScript engines (V8 internals, JIT behavior, GC) - Graphics and compositing (Skia, GPU rasterization, ANGLE, WebGL) - Multiprocess/threading model and IPC in Chromium - Proven experience using low‑level profiling and tracing tools to drive optimizations. - Strong debugging skills across large, complex codebases. - Ability to reason from microarchitectural behavior (cache, memory, SIMD, branch behavior) up to user‑perceived performance. Preferred Qualifications - Experience optimizing browser performance on Windows, including ETW‑based analysis and graphics stack interactions. - Familiarity with Clang/LLVM, compiler‑driven optimizations, and code‑generation tradeoffs. - Experience working with performance benchmarks (JetStream, Speedometer, WebXPRT, MotionMark, internal workloads). - Exposure to hardware‑aware optimization (CPU topology, cache behavior, SIMD/AVX, GPU execution models). - Prior experience contributing to large open‑source projects or upstream Chromium performance changes. - Ability to mentor junior engineers and influence performance culture across teams. Academic Credentials - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent. Benefits - AMD benefits at a glance.

• Develop and maintain scalable applications using NodeJS, TypeScript, MongoDB, Docker, and related technologies • Contribute hands-on across the full software development lifecycle, from design through deployment and support • Collaborate closely with developers, designers, QA, and product stakeholders to deliver high-quality product features and enhancements • Participate actively in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and estimation sessions • Review technical designs, requirements, and specifications to provide constructive feedback and ensure engineering quality • Identify technical risks, dependencies, and architectural considerations early in the development process • Drive engineering best practices across CI/CD, testing, observability, security, and code quality • Contribute to architectural strategy and support scalable, maintainable system design decisions • Build and support real-time, event-driven, and data-intensive platform capabilities • Participate in an on-call support rota and contribute to incident resolution and operational stability • Collaborate across business and technical teams to align engineering delivery with commercial and customer objectives • Promote knowledge sharing, documentation, and continuous improvement across the engineering organisation • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity and delivery efficiency

• Develop and maintain iOS application features using Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on feature design, architecture, and experimentation initiatives. • Identify and resolve bugs, performance bottlenecks, offline storage, and multithreading issues using profiling and debugging tools. • Maintain high code quality through unit testing, snapshot testing, and code review best practices.

Role Description Join an internationally successful development team and help shape a secure, highly available platform. - We care about clean, maintainable code. Quality and trade-offs are discussed openly, not treated as formality. - You’ll work with modern technologies like Java 25, Spring, MySQL, and GitLab CI. - Shape solutions alongside product, UX, and your fellow developers – your perspective goes into the design, not just the implementation. - Invest in your growth: 10% of your working time is reserved for learning or personal projects. Qualifications - Think in terms of the problem, not just the ticket; you ask why something is being built, not only what. - Write code that others can read, change, and trust; you care about the craft of doing so. - Collaborate naturally with teammates and other teams; communicate clearly in writing and in conversation. - Take ownership from problem to production – you see features through, not just to the pull request. - Value pragmatism over purity; you can tell the difference between "good enough for now" and "this will hurt us later." - Bring hands-on experience with Java and its ecosystem, with solid fundamentals in testing, version control, CI/CD, and how software runs in production. - Familiarity with some of the tools we use day-to-day (Spring, Maven or Gradle, SQL, GitLab); knowing the rest can be picked up on the job. Benefits - We only offer permanent employment contracts. - 30 days of vacation per year. - Working from HQ in Karlsruhe? Our kitchen conjures up a truly excellent, free meal for you every day. - On December 24th and 31st, we’ll give you an additional day off. - Work abroad for up to 20 days per year: Working with a sea view? Yes, please! - Diversity@Chrono24: We believe in the power of diversity. - Diversity is our strength. Company Description We stand for a dynamic company culture with flat hierarchies and strong team spirit. We are growing fast - and love pushing beyond our limits. By actively shaping our future, we create an inspiring and attractive work environment. Do you want to be part of it?
