• Familiarity with Git, automated testing, and modern software development practices.
• Willingness to learn the atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts needed to put your work in context.

Additional Information

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 talented team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing. We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to provide technical leadership for the software platform that orchestrates our quantum computers. In this role, you'll set the technical direction for a core area of our stack: the systems that coordinate quantum computing workloads, interface with the hardware control and calibration systems, and manage the experimental data our systems produce, while driving the architecture of our next-generation systems. Reporting to the Software Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for leading the technical direction of a focused set of projects, partner with the team that owns our hardware control and compilation systems, and collaborate closely with our quantum engineers. This is a primarily backend role with occasional frontend work. Our backend services are written in Python and Rust, and our frontend components are written in TypeScript/React. Many of our services run directly on the quantum computers themselves, in a Linux environment, so you'll be writing and guiding software that operates close to the hardware. This role is based in our Boulder, CO or Austin, TX office.
