Senior Software Engineer architecting software solutions for quantum computing startup. Collaborating with researchers and engineers to develop a comprehensive quantum computing platform.
Responsibilities
Architect the **services, APIs, and internal frameworks** powering experiment workflows, calibration systems, automation loops, and configuration management.
Choose and integrate appropriate storage technologies (SQL, NoSQL, object stores, columnar formats) to support scaling needs and diverse access patterns.
Define architectural patterns that maximize **agility, modularity, and maintainability** across the platform.
Collaborate closely with physicists and researchers to ensure models and interfaces reflect real experimental needs and enable fast iteration.
Partner with data engineering to build reliable ingestion paths, schema governance, data lifecycle strategies, and cross-team storage standards.
Shape the end-to-end architecture required to deliver the QPU as a **cohesive product**: API design, user orchestration, deployment strategy, and integration with HPC/cloud ecosystems.
Drive long-term architectural strategy, technical roadmap, and cross-organizational alignment.
Mentor teams, challenge assumptions, and lead architecture reviews across the platform department.
Requirements
12+ years designing large-scale backend/platform architectures.
Superior engineering proficiency in **Python**, async frameworks, service design, data orchestration, and performance optimization.
Demonstrated experience architecting complex **infrastructure and data-heavy distributed systems**.
Ability to define clean abstractions and synchronization mechanisms for **hardware/software interaction loops**.
Deep expertise with **storage technologies across SQL, NoSQL, timeseries, object storage, and distributed filesystems**.
Strong product mindset: ability to think about **end-to-end delivery**, user experience, reliability, and long-term lifecycle.
Ability to collaborate and challenge ideas with physicists, academic-level experts, and deeply technical researchers.
Strong technical leadership: able to influence direction, align teams, and support cross-domain decision-making.
