I appreciate AMD's focus on Linux drivers!


I appreciate REM0TE!


Can you clarify what level of REMOTE-ness is welcome? None of the listings on jobs.amd.com seem to mention anything about remote work.


For more junior candidates we prefer to have them onsite to ease on boarding/ramp up. For experienced folks, we are open to remote in many geographies (since this is the nature of open source projects anyway.) Currently we have team members in the follow locations: Germany, France, Boston, Ottawa, Virginia, Toronto, Shanghai.

Please feel free to reach out. My email is in my profile.
