Job Overview
Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward. At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation: We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact. We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities. We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail. We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress. Responsibilities
Manage, develop, build, and lead a team of software developers & DevOps engineers. Mentor and guide direct reports, fostering their growth and enhancing the team’s technical expertise Develop, communicate, and enforce software development standards and processes Maintain a comprehensive understanding of the Infleqtion quantum computing software systems, their operational principles, their requirements, the broad technical stack, etc.; architect and design control system software; hands-on application of deep subject matter expertise in building software systems In collaboration with programmatic leadership and adjacent engineering disciplines, develop and execute a technical roadmap for software deliverables across the control stack to support given high-level quantum computing performance targets and system deliverables Communicate software feature roadmaps and resource needs between the control software team, adjacent stakeholders, and executive management Requirements
