We are looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer for Application Engineering. As a Sr Software Engineer on the Applications Engineer team, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to deliver real-world applications and value from the leap forward in computing enabled by quantum technology. 

We don't just build the world's best quantum computers - we apply cutting edge quantum computing tools to real world problems. Until now, our team of Applications Scientists have been building prototypes, working closely with our customers. Our new department, Applications Engineering, will ultimately help transform proven quantum computing use-cases pioneered by our scientists into production applications, making those innovations available to more people and businesses by packaging and deploying these tools as SaaS applications.

But first, we must mature existing proof-of-concept quantum code into production grade applications. As a hands-on team lead for a new engineering team, you will work on enhancing developer experience (DevEx) by applying best practices to research-grade code. You will also set up CI / CD pipelines, software packing tools, and pre/post flight tests for new algorithms as they go into deployment. Where possible you will also be in charge of optimizing and parallelizing traditional algorithms, to reduce pre-processing and post-processing workloads. You will spearhead a new team taking newly invented quantum applications, and turning them into well defined modules of reliable SaaS applications. Think of it as being a forward-deployed engineer for quantum computing applications; the strongest candidates will be generalists with wide-ranging interests. 

This team will work closely with Developer Tools, Infrastructure, and Product teams to solve problems by choosing the right technologies, and standardizing and automating those solutions. The right engineer will be comfortable working on refining chemistry simplification via Quantum Computing tool one quarter, and turning a novel quantum topology solver into a service the next - and love pair programming with scientists. They’ll bring the quantum expertise; you bring the deep and broad experience in classical programming.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with Application scientists to help deliver cutting-edge solutions for customers
• Elevate Applications code quality generally through architectural review, code review, standards, and best practices
• Improve Applications pace of delivery by creating CI / CD pipelines and other packaging automation, as well as test infrastructure and coverage
• Help productize computing code, especially improving data processing in pre-quantum and post-quantum processing steps
• Work closely with peers in Applications, Developer Tools, and Product teams to share best practices and feedback on internal tools
• Reporting to the Director of Application Engineering, help hire and mentor developers on the team

You’d be a good fit with:

• 12+ years of experience as a backend or full-stack developer, preferably in Python or Golang
• 5+ years of experience in setting up and maintaining CI / CD pipelines, in Github Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools
• 5+ years of experience in C/C++ or Rust
• 3+ years of experience in Docker, k8s, or similar containerization technologies
• A track record of shipping containerized applications that solve real business problems
• Previous work in scientific computing, quantum computing, or a related field
• Daily usage of augmented coding tools like Claude or Gemini 

You’d be a great fit with:

• 5+ years of experience in scientific computing, especially with data analysis using numpy, pandas, or similar
• Experience in HPC or performance optimization
• Experience in converting traditional algorithms into CUDA, OpenMP workflows, or similar parallelization experience
• Experience with workflow orchestration engines like Airflow, Dagster, or Temporal

Travel: 5% for quarterly travel for collaboration 
Job ID:  1312

The approximate base salary range for this position is $192,979 - $252,659. The total compensation package includes base, bonus, and equity.

We are looking for a proven TPM with leadership and expertise in silicon device development that will  focus on the Quantum Processor Devices. You will own the new product programme execution for silicon device development within our quantum computing roadmap, will be responsible for the successful execution of new product development programs: translating complex technical work into clear plans, measurable milestones, and predictable delivery.

You will be working directly with the lead TPM and serve as a QPU cross functional program liaison with other technical and non-technical organizations across the company. You’ll create and run the operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned and leaders informed: building delivery plans, tracking dependencies, surfacing risks early, and producing decision-ready reporting that senior stakeholders can trust. Responsibilities will also include project planning, coordination, risk management, and stakeholder management. When priorities shift or technical issues emerge, you’ll drive structure into ambiguity; clarifying scope, coordinating trade-offs, and pushing problems to resolution while continuously improving how we execute across the hardware lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Lead silicon device development programmes (or workstreams), owning scope, schedule, resources, budget, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment using best-practice PM tools.
• Translating progress, risks, and trade-offs into clear, executive-ready reporting for senior stakeholders. 
• Drive cross-functional execution across physics, engineering, and partner teams; identify blockers early and take issues to closure with robust risk mitigation and contingency planning.
• Partner with device designers, physicists, and engineers to ensure designs are feasible, buildable, and aligned to programme milestones and deliverables.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills, able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders and drive decisions through competing priorities.
• Establish programme cadences and executive reporting (dashboards, status, decision logs), ensuring senior leaders have accurate, timely, decision-ready information.
• Support continuous improvement of engineering workflows across the hardware lifecycle.

You’d be a good fit with:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. Advanced degree preferred.
• 13+ years’ experience as a Technical Program or Programme Manager delivering complex hardware programmes, ideally in chip design, silicon devices, or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Comfortable operating in a highly technical environment, and being a technically fluent TPM who can bring structure, pace, and precision to complex silicon device programmes. 
• Thrive in ambiguity, building trust quickly, and creating the delivery rhythm that keeps multiple workstreams moving across sites and time zones.
• Hardware programme experience and a sharp analytical mindset. Able to spot inconsistencies, interrogate data, and turn messy reality into an accurate plan, a credible forecast, and a practical set of next actions. Not just coordinating, but driving outcomes, unblocking teams, and raising the bar on how programmes are run.
• Highly analytical and detail-oriented, with strong problem-solving ability and confidence managing risk, dependencies, and changing scope in fast-moving environments.
• Comfortable with modern programme tooling and ways of working, for example Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, and GitHub, and motivated by the mission and pace of quantum computing.

You’d be a great fit with:

• In depth knowledge of semiconductor design and fabrication processes
• Working knowledge of semiconductor packaging and testing flows
