Senior Project Developer

Deine Rolle im Team

As a Senior Software Developer you will be leading the development of the AQT software stack.

Your main focus will be developing state-of-the-art software and creating new features for AQT's quantum computers, integrating established tools and software frameworks for optimal systems operation.

You will tightly work with stakeholders from operations, research, and engineering to identify, implement, and enable them taking advantage of the new software features.

You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects simultaneously.

This may include contributing to the development of internal tools and infrastructure to support the company's overall goals, participating in research and planning work as well as software architecture design.

As a Senior Software Developer, you will be at the forefront of the quantum computing industry, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with cutting-edge technologies.

Design, develop, test, and maintain control software for AQT quantum computing systems and devices.

Implement software features spanning the stack from embedded control to user-facing APIs, including coding, debugging, documentation, and automated testing.

Use real-time control frameworks (e.g. on an FPGA or SoC systems) to build tools for programming and executing quantum circuits on quantum hardware.

Collaborate closely with hardware, system, and quantum engineers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware components.

Develop new feature concepts, prototypes, and integrate them into operational software environments.

Perform code reviews and uphold best practices in software design and development.

Support DevOps processes across the software development life cycle.

Contribute to continuous improvement in both technical and team practices.
