Description

Summary

QuEra Computing, Inc. seeks a creative and collaborative Scientific Software Engineer to help solve the unique software challenges of integrating high-level applications into state-of-the-art neutral-atom quantum computers. You will have the opportunity to work with a vibrant scientific software team and a community of industry and academic collaborators and to help our growing team of diverse experts address fascinating challenges, ranging from classical compiler techniques to direct integration with low-level hardware components. Using our open-source toolchain, Kirin, you will be building QuEra’s compiler pipeline together with experimental & computational physicists from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming languages. This involves the development of new features and infrastructure for hardware execution. You will be co-designing compilers and hardware infrastructure for the next generation of quantum computing using cutting-edge neutral-atom and quantum error correction technologies. This emerging direction involves multiple new challenges in both engineering and science.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain domain-specific languages (DSLs) involved in the compilation pipeline
  • Support customers when usage questions and technical issues arise
  • Support integration of our compiler pipeline at our location in Japan together with other team members
  • Collaborate with scientists and our hardware control team to plan and develop hardware features required for executing QEC algorithms
  • Collaborate with other members of the scientific software team to deliver new language and hardware features including new gates, atom shuttling instructions, and low-level pulse control features

Qualifications

  • Masters in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experience
  • Enthusiastic about building tools used by non-software developers
  • Fluent in Japanese and English for technical conversation between team and customers
  • Experience with Python semantics, Python type hints, and the CPython interpreter
  • Experience with modern C++ projects and tooling around those projects
  • Experience with Static Single Assignment intermediate representations-based compiler
  • Knowledge of the full lifecycle of software development, including version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, logging, profiling, debugging, and documentation

Preferred Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experience
  • knowledge in quantum physics and AMO physics
  • Experience in programming language and compiler design
  • knowledge in quantum error correction
  • Contribution to existing open-source libraries
