AMD is once again hiring more Linux engineer(s) to work on their Ryzen client efforts under Linux with next-gen hardware enablement, enhancing features/support for existing Ryzen systems, and related efforts.
AMD hiring for Linux engineering is hardly notable these days on the server side where EPYC market-share in the data center continues to grow significantly and of course Linux dominates. Building off their steady progress for Ryzen on Linux the past number of years and significant design wins with the likes of Valve’s Steam Deck, some Tesla in-vehicle systems, and more, Ryzen on Linux continues to grow in importance too.
The latest job posting for Ryzen on Linux is hiring in Taipei, Taiwan to focus on Ryzen bring-up under Linux:
“Your role as a Linux Engineer is to enable Ryzen APU/CPU within Linux distros (RHEL, Ubuntu etc.) and work with the cross-functional team for Linux OS bring-up

The job description and role is similar to what we have seen out of AMD for Linux on the Ryzen side in recent years. Great timing too with preparations beginning for AMD Zen 6 on Linux.
