Atom Computing is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to define and evolve the backend services architecture that powers our next-generation quantum computing platform
In this role, you will design scalable, production-grade services that support researcher workflows, quantum job orchestration, and externally facing APIs for interacting with Atom’s quantum computers
You will lead architectural decisions around distributed systems, service boundaries, and cloud infrastructure while ensuring high performance, reliability, and observability across the platform
The ideal candidate can translate the unique execution models and data flows of quantum workloads into well-architected backend systems and will play a hands-on role implementing and guiding these services as they evolve into a scalable commercial product
Design and implement software services required for simulation, compilation and operation of the quantum computer
Mentor and support engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, and knowledge sharing to strengthen team capability and software quality
Collaborate closely with quantum physicists, optical engineers, and hardware engineers to understand key use cases and shape the product roadmap- Masters or PhD in Computer Science, or related field
10+ years of post-degree experience building complex systems
Knowledge in one or more of the following areas: computer architecture, quantum error correction, or distributed systems, with a willingness to learn across disciplines as needed
Adaptability and curiosity, with a demonstrated ability to learn new technologies and work effectively in areas of uncertainty
Demonstrated ability to write production software using C++, Python, Rust, or Go
Strong communication skills, demonstrated through technical presentations, publications, or collaborative research
Building and scaling a developer operations team, including workflow automation, access management, and infrastructure-as-code practices
Having managed and optimized databases either in the cloud or on-site
Familiarity and experience implementing security best practices
Interfacing with and controlling cameras, motors, lasers, and other third party devices
Having set up or configured networks, both physical and virtual
