Summary

QuEra Computing Inc. is building the world's most scalable quantum computers using neutral-atom technology. Based in Boston and founded by the pioneers of neutral-atom quantum platforms at Harvard and MIT, QuEra is developing quantum computers that push the boundaries of what is computationally possible — from materials science and drug discovery to machine learning.

QuEra is seeking a Scientific Software Engineer to develop and maintain our in-house quantum hardware emulator and support application research building on top of and utilizing the emulation toolchain. In this role, you will implement high-performance quantum circuit simulation backends, build tooling that enables researchers to rapidly prototype and validate quantum algorithms, and contribute to the software infrastructure that bridges our hardware capabilities with real-world applications.

This role sits at the intersection of scientific computing and quantum application development. You will help shape the emulation layer that underpins algorithm design, hardware benchmarking, and customer-facing demonstrations — providing researchers, both internal and external, a faithful, fast model of QuEra’s quantum processors.

You will work closely with application scientists, experimental scientists, and the compiler team, collaborating on topics from noise modeling and Hamiltonian simulation to algorithm co-design for neutral-atom architectures.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and optimize core components of QuEra's in-house quantum hardware emulator, including state-vector, tensor-network, and pulse-level simulation backends.
• Write performance-critical code in Rust, C++, and/or CUDA to run large-scale simulations on GPU clusters and HPC infrastructure.
• Collaborate with application researchers to prototype, validate, and refine quantum algorithms targeting near-term and future neutral-atom hardware.
• Support noise modeling and hardware-faithful emulation by working with the hardware and calibration teams to incorporate realistic device parameters into the emulators.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and documentation to maintain code quality and reproducibility across the emulation stack.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of computational quantum many-body physics, with experience in one or more of: tensor networks, ZX calculus, Pauli propagation, or stabilizer simulation.
• Proficiency in at least one of: Julia, Rust, C++, or CUDA, with demonstrated ability to write well-structured, testable scientific software.
• Strong practical experience of the full software development lifecycle, including version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, and documentation.
• Familiarity with high-performance computing concepts: MPI/OpenMP parallelism, GPU programming, memory hierarchy optimization.
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working at the intersection of physics and software engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience collaborating with algorithmic research or quantum information theory groups, with the ability to translate research insights into software requirements and implementations.
• Practical hands-on exposure to tensor-network libraries (ITensor, TensorNetwork, QUIMB, etc.) or quantum many-body simulation tools.
• Experience with GPU-accelerated numerical computing (CUDA, cuQuantum, ROCm, or similar).
• Familiarity with profiling and benchmarking tools (perf, NVIDIA Nsight, VTune, or equivalent).
• Strong track record of contributions to open-source scientific or quantum computing projects.
• Experience with containerized workflows (Docker/Singularity) and job schedulers (Slurm) in HPC environments.
• Familiarity with neutral-atom quantum computing architectures and digital quantum simulation.

The approximate base salary range for this position is $120.000.00 - $202,000.00.

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.

QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

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.
