Browser Optimization Engineer

AMD is a company focused on building products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences across AI, data centers, PCs, gaming, and embedded systems. The role is within a culture of innovation and collaboration, aiming to push the limits of technology and solve important challenges.

• Strong background in software engineering focused on performance optimization
• Experience with Chromium or Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge)
• Proficiency in C++ and modern performance-oriented development practices
• Understanding of browser internals including rendering pipelines, JavaScript engines, graphics/compositing, and multi-process architectures
• Experience using profiling and tracing tools for optimization
• Strong debugging skills in large-scale, complex systems
• Ability to connect microarchitectural behavior to real-world performance
• Familiarity with Windows performance analysis and graphics stack interactions
• Exposure to Clang/LLVM and compiler-driven optimizations
• Experience with performance benchmarks such as JetStream, Speedometer, WebXPRT, or MotionMark
• Awareness of hardware-aware optimization techniques (CPU topology, cache behavior, SIMD/AVX, GPU execution models)
• Experience contributing to large-scale or open-source codebases
• Ability to mentor others and influence performance best practices
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred

• 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-world workloads, benchmarks, and telemetry
• Implement improvements in page load performance, rendering, JavaScript execution, graphics/compositing, and responsiveness
• Drive cross-platform optimizations primarily on Windows with exposure to Linux/macOS
• Analyze system behavior using tools such as Perfetto, ETW, Chrome Tracing, VTune, PIX, GPUView, and perf
• Collaborate with browser vendors, OS teams, compiler teams, and hardware partners to co-optimize software and platforms
• Contribute high-quality patches to Chromium or related codebases
• Translate low-level profiling insights into scalable, user-facing performance improvements
• Document findings and communicate results clearly to technical stakeholders
