The Challenge
AMD is positioning itself as the AI platform leader, and developers are central to that bet. You'll build and scale a global AI developer community from the ground up—turning Discord channels and open-source contributors into advocates who drive real platform adoption.
Your Mission
Audit current AMD AI developer community health across Discord, Discourse, and social platforms; establish baseline metrics for engagement, retention, and advocacy
Define scalable community strategy framework with clear pathways from contributor → advocate → leader, including governance models and engagement KPIs
Launch first cohort of AI Ambassador program with 20-30 early advocates; establish selection criteria, enablement resources, and recognition structure
Map key AI open-source communities and maintainers; establish relationships with 5-10 strategic ecosystem leaders to align on AMD contributions
Grow active AMD AI developer community by 40%+ across all platforms; demonstrate 2x improvement in engagement rates and discussion quality
Build and operationalize global Ambassador program with 100+ active advocates; track amplification impact (content reach, advocacy engagement, community contributions)
Establish AMD as credible player in 3-5 major AI open-source ecosystems; measure through maintainer relationships, merged contributions, and community sentiment
Create and deploy regional developer growth playbooks for APAC, EMEA, and Americas; launch localized community initiatives with measurable activation targets per region
KPIs You'll Own

Is This Role For You?
- You've scaled developer communities from 0 to thousands and know the difference between vanity metrics and real engagement
- You understand open-source dynamics, maintainer relationships, and how to build credibility in technical ecosystems without corporate messaging
- You think in systems: how communities drive adoption, advocacy amplifies reach, and grassroots momentum compounds platform value
- You're comfortable translating between engineering teams, business leadership, and developers—and building trust with all three
- You think community marketing is just social media posting and announcements—this role requires strategic ecosystem thinking
- You need remote flexibility; this is on-site San Jose with no negotiation on that
- You're uncomfortable with hardware/infrastructure complexity or don't have deep respect for developer autonomy and open-source culture
