- Experience in experimental physics or the design and integration of superconducting quantum devices
- Experience in designing and implementing software to abstract and standardize interactions with heterogeneous hardware interfaces
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for developing software solutions for quantum technologies and deploying them in the Q-CTRL product suite
- Development work in the application code base for Q-CTRL’s error suppression products
- Assist in integrating Fire Opal with external customer’s systems
- Implementing novel control and error mitigation techniques developed in collaboration with research scientists for improving quantum circuit performance
- Mentoring other developers and autonomously addressing high priority work
- Review and address code and comments submitted by the team via pull requests

- Collaborating cross-functionally with members of Q-CTRL’s technical staff
- Other duties within the Employee's skills and experience, or with reasonable training
Our take
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize industries from chemical engineering to financial services. However, the technology is not yet useable due to a number of factors such as scalability, sensitivity and expense.
In a move to help power the quantum future, Q-CTRL develops the software infrastructure needed to power real-world quantum computers. The company's technology helps to transform bare-metal quantum processors into useful computational tools, expanding their utility with improved accuracy and cost-savings.
It's an exciting prospect, and one that has seen the company achieve commercial success as well as raise substantial funding. This will mainly be invested in R&D and product engineering as the company delivers to a growing customer base that includes Fortune 500 clients and government departments.
