Scientific Software Engineer - Hardware Compilation

Overview In questa role you will contribute to building and integrating a pulse-level DSL and its compiler pipeline within QuEra's Kirin toolchain. You will collaborate with physicists and hardware teams to enable hardware execution and co-design compiler and hardware infrastructure for next-gen quantum computers. The position blends software engineering with quantum hardware challenges, spanning from high-level language tooling to low-level control integration. You will work across cross-functional teams to deliver impactful, scalable software for quantum execution and QEC workflows. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of theory and hardware, offering meaningful contributions to a growing,开放 Compensation / Benefitsbase salary with equity grantsopen compensation range: $102,400 - $166,400equity grants for all new hires ResponsibilitiesDevelop and maintain a DSL for pulse-level programs and its compilation stackIntegrate pulse compilation into multiple quantum computer buildsCollaborate with QEC scientists and hardware control to enable required hardware featuresWork with the scientific software team to integrate gate-level and atom-move compilation Key requirementsMasters in Computer Science with focus on quantum computation/architecture/programming language/compiler, or equivalent professional experienceEnthusiasm for building tools used by non-software developersExperience with Python semantics and CPython interpreterExperience with modern C++ projectsExperience with Static Single Assignment–based compilerUnderstanding of full software development lifecycle (VC, tests, CI/CD, logging, profiling, debugging, documentation)enthusiastic about tooling for non-software developerscollaborative teamworkcommunication with cross-disciplinary teamsPython semantics and typingCPython interpreterModern C++ tooling
