Quantum Error Correction Software Engineer

Atom Computing

Berkeley, CA • On-site

$155K - $185K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 5 days ago

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 world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a software engineer with a background in quantum information theory to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction in neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Research efforts related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant schemes
  • Designing and implementing demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Real-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Setup and maintenance of databases
  • Compilation of quantum circuits
  • Analyzing data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computation
  • Simulation of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications

Experience & Education
  • PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience with quantum error correction theory

Qualifications
  • Must have previous experience developing software for quantum computers in industry and/or academia and a solid grasp of quantum computing and quantum information concepts.
  • Coding proficiency in Python and one or more compiled languages such as Rust, C, or C++, and familiarity with Git version control.
  • Willingness to learn AMO physics or quantum mechanics concepts as required.
  • Documented ability to translate research results into functional production code.
  • Ability to effectively collaborate with software developers, physicists, and engineers in complementary disciplines.
  • Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.

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 between $155,000 - $185,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
