Full Job Posting
- Build the backbone of quantum tech: Design, develop, and optimize scalable backend services in Python.
- Own the compiler stack: Maintain and evolve the compiler that translates OpenQASM3 + OpenPulse programs into low-level controller instructions.
- Bridge research and engineering: Work closely with world-class researchers and quantum engineers, translating experimental needs into production-ready code and debugging real-world execution challenges.
- Experiment on quantum hardware: Get hands-on with QPUs, validating compiler output and controller behaviors through real device experiments.
- Engineer for performance: Deliver high-efficiency service-to-service communication using modern protocols (gRPC, GraphQL, REST).
- Shape the future stack: Help define the software practices, tools, and design patterns that will power the next generation of quantum control systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of backend software development experience with Python.
- Experience with quantum hardware control systems (or similar) or pulse-level programming (e.g., OpenQASM3, Qiskit Pulse, Qua).
- Familiarity with popular Python web frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI).
- Familiarity with formal language design (e.g. LL(*) or PEG parsers) and compiler theory or ecosystems (e.g. LLVM/MLIR).
- Experience with implementing Python extension modules with systems programming languages such as C++ or Rust for accelerating Python programs.
- Knowledge or exposure to adjacent technologies such as FPGA programming, low-latency or real-time systems.
