Quantum Software Architect

Atom computing

Country: United States of America

Location: Boulder, CO

Time Type: Full Time

Posted On: November 19, 2024

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 Quantum Software Architect to oversee the structure and behavior of the software stack that controls our quantum computer systems. This individual will work closely with the Director of Software, the CTO, and other stakeholders and domain experts across the company to build a long-term vision for how our software should operate in order to satisfy the needs of customers, system operators, and internal research teams.  The role includes the responsibility for leading technical roadmap planning, helping select appropriate technologies, and guiding and reviewing new feature development to ensure alignment with the long-term vision.  To be successful, this individual will need to develop a complete understanding of the journey a quantum circuit takes from customer-facing libraries and APIs down to the execution of commands on our quantum hardware.  This candidate will be expected to lead the evolution of our quantum computer from an architecture supporting simple job execution to one capable of executing dynamic, quantum-error-corrected circuits.

Candidates will also be considered for Atom's location in Austin, TX and Berkeley, CA.  Under exceptional circumstances we may allow the position to be fully remote.
