Senior Software Engineer

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.

Atom Computing is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to implement the quantum computing platform. In this role, you'll work across the full stack to deliver the platforms and applications that give our customers access to our quantum computers, while accelerating the development of our next-generation systems. Your work will span quantum job compilation, quantum error correction, instrument calibration, and experimental data management - touching the layers of the stack where physics meets production software. You'll collaborate closely with a talented, tight-knit team of engineers and physicists, reporting to the Software Engineering Manager. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of deep science and engineering.

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