Job description

About the team
At Q-CTRL, Quantum Computing Engineering is a global team of software engineers and infrastructure experts,combining deep technical expertise with a startup mindset to deliver real impact through software innovation. Our work is underpinned by robust standards, and by embracing the three virtues. Our team excels in areas across back-end, front-end, machine learning, and platform engineering.
We transform Q-CTRL's world-leading technological breakthroughs into commercial software products with applications across defense, research, and industry. We work closely with Product, Design, and Research teams to accelerate the path to quantum advantage worldwide.
About the role
As a Software Engineer on the Boulder Opal team, you will work with brilliant engineers and researchers to design and build a scalable, high-performance backend system while directly contributing to our quantum controller infrastructure.
A key part of your role will be maintaining and evolving the compiler stack that translates OpenQASM3 + OpenPulse programs for low-level quantum controllers, bridging the gap between high-level quantum programming and physical execution on QPUs. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, product, infrastructure, frontend, and research, ensuring end-to-end delivery of cutting-edge solutions that power our SDKs and cloud-based offerings.
This role is ideal for someone passionate about backend engineering and systems-level programming, with an interest in quantum computing and scientific software.
What you'll be doing:
  • 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.
  • Other duties within the Employee's skills and experience, or with reasonable training.

Ideally you'll have:
  • 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).

It would be fantastic (but not essential) if you bring:
  • 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.

Salary
The base salary for this position is targeted between $135,000 - $210,000 and will ultimately be determined by specific job-related skills, experience, level, location and other contributing factors. Depending on the position offered, this role may be eligible for annual discretionary bonuses, equity and other forms of compensation outside of the targeted range.

Should you have any questions related to the compensation package, please speak directly with the Talent Acquisition representative.
