The posting

Summary

QuEra Computing, Inc. seeks a creative and collaborative Scientific Software Engineer to help solve the unique software challenges to deliver the best performance out of QuEra’s 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 quantum system architecture. You will be building QuEra’s compiler pipeline together with experimental & computational physicists from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming languages using our internal toolchain. This involves development of new heuristics, new architectures, and programming language design to optimize the performance of cutting edge neutral-atom hardware and quantum error correction technology. This new direction involves multiple new challenges in both engineering and science.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and help maintain QuEra's compiler pipeline from circuit level quantum programs to QuEra's Pulse level Intermediate representation using QuEra's Static Single Assignment based compiler infrastructure.
  • Design a novel domain specific language to program atom shuttling inside QuEra’s neutral atom quantum computers.
  • Implement and improve optimization methods relevant to shuttling workflows (e.g., routing/scheduling/planning heuristics, constraint-aware transformations, and cost-model-driven compilation decisions).
  • Develop on static analysis for both the quantum circuit and atom shuttle level languages
  • Communicate and collaborate with QuEra scientists and external customers to meet their use case requirements.

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science with focus on programming language design and compilation
  • Enthusiastic in building software tools for scientists especially physicists.
  • Experience with Python semantics, Python type hints, CPython interpreter.
  • Experience with at least one of the compiled languages and experienced with their type system, e.g C++, Julia, Rust, Haskell, OCamel, etc.
  • Experience with Static Single Assignment intermediate representations-based compiler development.
  • Knowledge of the full lifecycle of software development, including version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, logging, profiling, debugging, and documentation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with computer microarchitecture/hardware design
  • Experience with using LLVM or MLIR for compiler development, or experience with an existing compiler development
  • Experience or publication in quantum hardware oriented program optimization, e.g scheduling, routing etc.
  • Quantum error correction
  • Contribution to existing open-source libraries
  • Knowledge of quantum computing basics, e.g., common quantum algorithms, quantum information theory basics.

The approximate base salary range for this position is $102,400 - $166,400.

We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
