Senior Quantum Software Engineer

About the role

Designing and delivering fast, reliable, and secure components in Rust, Python, and TypeScript that form the backbone of our quantum developer experience Building language and compiler features for Q#, OpenQASM, QIR, and related technologies that push the boundaries of what programs quantum developers can express.

Creating intuitive, high-impact VS Code integrations that help scientists and engineers work productively with complex quantum systems. Exploring new ways to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into quantum development workflows. Collaborating closely with experts in quantum chemistry, error correction, control systems, and hardware to design end-to-end solutions that connect research and product.

Engaging with the open-source community, triaging issues, and contributing improvements that help shape the future of the ecosystem.
