Source description
About the role
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.
