The posting

At Rigetti, our mission is to build the world's most powerful computers to solve the world's most challenging problems. Rigetti is a pioneer in superconducting qubits and full-stack quantum computing systems. In addition to introducing the first multi-chip quantum processor, Rigetti has led the way in software systems for quantum computing, with a distributed operating environment for hybrid quantum-classical computing and a state-of-the-art characterization and measurement platform.

To continue advancing this work, we're expanding our Internal Software (ISW) team.

The Opportunity

Key Responsibilities

  • Own, maintain, and improve data-intensive Python services and applications, mostly backend, sometimes full stack
  • Work directly with internal customers, including quantum engineers and fab engineers, to understand what they actually need and turn it into scalable, sustainable software
  • Keep data trustworthy as systems evolve: schema migrations, compatibility across clients, testing, CI
  • Measure and improve performance of user-facing workflows and the observability of the platforms behind them
  • Help scientists and engineers outside the software team use AI coding agents safely and sustainably by building the frameworks, guardrails, and patterns that make that possible
  • Keep users informed on priorities and roadmap
  • Mentor and collaborate with other engineers on the team

Qualifications

  • Strong Python, with experience building and running production backend or serving systems
  • Experience working in large, evolving codebases, and the judgment to improve them without slowing down the people who depend on them
  • Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases; PostgreSQL a plus
  • Experience with AWS and a typical cloud stack (Kubernetes, Kafka, Postgres, Grafana or equivalents)
  • A track record of working cross-functionally with scientists or other deeply technical peers, and genuine enjoyment of helping them do their best work, especially as requirements change with the science
  • Product instinct and independence: you can sit down with a user, understand the underlying problem, define what to build, and drive it forward without close supervision
  • Curiosity regarding quantum computing and what Rigetti is building
  • Scientific computing, data-science, or AI/ML tooling backgrounds
  • HPC, national lab, semiconductor, or other hardware-forward R&D environments
  • DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering
  • Frontend or data visualization experience, including building tools that help scientists explore and understand their data
  • Physics, math, or quantum background of any depth is a plus, but not a requirement

As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.

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.
