Key responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the software stack that orchestrates quantum computing on our systems, interfacing with hardware control and calibration systems and managing experimental data.

  • Rewrite and productionize prototype code written by Quantum Engineers into reliable, well-tested, maintainable services.

  • Develop and maintain software for scheduling quantum algorithms, analyzing results, and automating system tuning and calibration.

Job description

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a talented team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

Atom Computing is looking for a Software Engineer to build the software platform that orchestrates our quantum computers. In this role, you'll be working on a core area of our stack: the systems that coordinate quantum computing workloads, interface with the hardware control and calibration systems, and manage the experimental data our systems produce, while supporting the development of our next-generation systems. You'll work alongside a partner team that owns the hardware control and compilation systems, and collaborate closely with a talented, tight-knit team of software and quantum engineers, reporting to the Software Engineering Manager.

This is a primarily backend role with occasional frontend work. Our backend services are written in Python and Rust, and our frontend components are written in TypeScript/React. Many of our services run directly on the quantum computers themselves, in a Linux environment, so you'll be writing software that operates close to the hardware.

This role is based in our Boulder, CO office.

Job Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain the software stack that orchestrates quantum computing on our systems, interfacing with (but not controlling) the hardware control and calibration systems owned by our partner team, and managing the experimental data our systems produce.
  • Rewrite and productionize prototype code written by our Quantum Engineers, turning research code into reliable, well-tested, maintainable services.
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure for automating system tuning and calibration.
  • Develop and maintain software for scheduling the execution and analyzing the results of quantum algorithms.
  • Work closely with our Quantum Engineers to write idiomatic, tested, and extensible code for executing experiments and algorithms on our quantum hardware.
  • Make sound code-design decisions that keep our codebase clean, extensible, and easy for the team to build on.
  • Deploy, monitor, and support our production platform, sharing in a team on-call rotation to keep our quantum computers reliably available to customers.
  • Partner with our infrastructure team to strengthen our CI/CD pipelines, contributing improvements that speed up and stabilize how we ship.
Experience & Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of professional experience as a software engineer.
Required Qualifications
  • A passion for writing software and a track record of implementing features in complex systems.
  • Proficiency with Python.
  • Familiarity with Git, automated testing, and modern software development practices.
  • Willingness to learn the atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts needed to put your work in context.
Nice to Have
  • Experience with a compiled language such as C++ or Rust.
  • Experience with database technologies and proficiency with SQL.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g. Azure, AWS, or GCP) and Terraform.
  • Experience building TypeScript/React frontend components.
  • Experience with containerization technologies.

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance. We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!

The base salary range for this position is $120,000 - $145,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
