YOUR MISSION

As Software Engineer you will be involved in developing several stages of a quantum computer. In close collaboration with the hardware team you will design and develop control software that can be deployed to multiple quantum computers, software to simulate a quantum computer on different levels of detail, build deployment pipelines for cloud services, or be part of an algorithms project to optimize complex simulations.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop and code new features and tests to enhance projects
• Document code consistently during development
• Share knowledge and collaborate effectively within the team
• Automate testing in CI/CD pipelines
• Continuously learn about new technologies and the workings of quantum computers

NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS:

• 3+ years of experience in professional software engineering
• Proficiency in high-level programming languages (e.g., Python, Rust, C, C++).
• Eager to learn new technologies
• Identify as a team player
• Fluent in English
  The software stack of a quantum computer is very versatile and includes everything from hardware near programming to cloud deployment of components. This leads to a broad skill set that can be applied at planqc.

Supplementary skills:

• Background in (quantum)physics or interest in physics
• Cloud deployments with Docker/Helm/Terraform/Kubernetes
• FPGA programming
• CI/CD with GitLab
• Worked in an agile setting (Scrum)

If you have many years of experience in (python) development and are familiar with some of the supplementary skills we are happy to get your application!

ABOUT US

planqc’s quantum computers store information in individual atoms – nature’s best qubits. Quantum information is processed by arranging these qubits in highly scalable arrays and manipulating them with precisely controlled laser pulses. planqc’s unique combination of quantum technologies is the fastest way to scale to thousands of qubits, a prerequisite for industry-relevant quantum advantage.
planqc’s founding team combines decades of international research on neutral-atom quantum technologies. Our quantum computers are built on the precision of the world’s best atomic clocks, the world’s best quantum gas microscopes, and high-speed Rydberg gates.
planqc is the first startup to emerge from the Munich Quantum Valley, which with its vast network of research institutes and industrial partners fosters a unique quantum ecosystem for startups
