Scientific Software Engineer - Error Correction

QuEra Computing, Inc. is seeking a creative and collaborative Scientific Software Engineer to address software challenges in integrating high-level applications into state-of-the-art neutral-atom quantum computers. You will work with a vibrant scientific software team, industry, and academic collaborators to develop infrastructure for quantum computing, including classical compiler techniques and low-level hardware integration. Using our open-source toolchain, Kirin, you will build QuEra’s quantum error correction stack alongside physicists, developing new embedded domain-specific languages (eDSL), compilers from logical to physical programs, and decoding infrastructure. You will co-design compilers for quantum error correction and hardware infrastructure for next-generation quantum computing using cutting-edge technologies, involving novel engineering and scientific challenges. Responsibilities

Develop and maintain eDSLs for quantum error correction programs, compilation stacks, and decoding runtime. Collaborate with Quantum Error Correction (QEC) scientists to develop error correction codes, decoding algorithms, and resource estimates. Work with QEC scientists and hardware teams to plan and develop hardware features for QEC algorithms. Integrate gate-level and atom-move compilation with QEC experiments. Qualifications

Masters in Computer Science or related field, focusing on quantum computation, quantum architecture, quantum programming languages & compilation, or quantum physics, or equivalent experience. Enthusiastic about building tools for non-software developers. Proficient in Python, especially type hints and design patterns. Experience in high-performance computing and optimization. Publication record in quantum error correction or related fields. Knowledge of software development lifecycle, including version control, testing, CI/CD, logging, profiling, debugging, and documentation. Preferred Qualifications

Ph.D. in Physics or Computer Science with focus on quantum topics, or equivalent experience. Deep knowledge of quantum algorithms, AMO physics, and programming languages. Proven software engineering experience, including open-source contributions. Experience with compiled languages like C++, Rust, Julia, and optimization in these languages. QuEra values diversity and is an equal-opportunity employer, committed to an inclusive environment free from discrimination.
