THE ROLE:
AMD is looking for an experienced software engineer who is passionate about modernizing development infrastructure and streamlining engineering workflows within the Silicon Design Engineering organisation. You will play a key role in migrating source code management (SCM) tools and processes from Perforce to GitLab, ensuring a seamless transition for engineering teams across the organization. You will be a member of a core team of incredibly talented industry specialists, collaborating closely with development, DevOps, and IT teams to deliver robust, scalable migration solutions.
THE PERSON:
You are passionate about software engineering, DevOps practices, and developer tooling. You possess strong problem-solving and leadership skills to drive complex migration challenges to resolution. You a able to communicate effectively and work optimally with different teams across AMD, bridging the gap between legacy workflows and modern Git-based development practices.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Plan, design, and execute the migration of repositories, history, branches, and metadata from Perforce to GitLab.
- Develop and maintain scripts, tools, and automation pipelines to support the migration process
- Work with engineering teams to map existing Perforce workflows (branching strategies, integrations, triggers) to GitLab equivalents.
- Ensure data integrity and completeness throughout the migration, including history preservation and validation.
- Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, and best practices for the migrated environment
- Provide technical guidance and training to teams adopting GitLab workflows.
- Debug and resolve migration issues, researching alternative and more efficient approaches when needed.
- Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to integrate GitLab with CI/CD pipelines and other development tools.
- Stay informed of SCM tooling trends, GitLab features, and industry best practices for large-scale migrations.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Strong programming background with hands-on experience in Python and/or Bash
- Proficiency in C/C++ or scripting languages like Ruby or Perl is highly desirable, particularly for extending GitLab internals, optimizing performance-critical tooling
- Demonstrated experience designing and building automation, scripts, and tooling frameworks for complex engineering workflows; familiarity with Perforce-to-Git migration approaches — including tools such as
git-p4, Helix4Git, or custom migration frameworks — is a significant advantage - Demonstrated experience with Git internals, branching models, and merge strategies (e.g. GitLab administration, including CI/CD pipeline architecture, GitLab Runners, and API-driven automation)
- Work experience with build systems, debuggers, and profilers; ability to navigate and operate effectively within large, multi-component software development environments
- Practical experience developing, operating software in both Windows and Linux or complex Electronic Design Automation environment with a comfort working across platform boundaries in distributed enterprise engineering ecosystems
- Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform or Ansible; experience integrating Source Control Management platforms with CI/CD pipelines and broader DevOps toolchains
- Demonstrated ability to align engineering, DevOps, and IT stakeholders around a shared technical approach
- Experience supporting geographically distributed engineering teams through major tooling or platform transitions, including the adoption and change management dimensions — not just the technical delivery.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
LOCATION (FLEXIBLE):
- Iasi (Hybrid) or Brasov (Remote) or Bucharest (Remote)
- Anywhere in Romania (Remote/Home Office)
