At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a Quantum Software Architect to oversee the structure and behavior of the software stack that controls our quantum computer systems. This individual will work closely with the Director of Software, the CTO, and other stakeholders and domain experts across the company to build a long-term vision for how our software should operate in order to satisfy the needs of customers, system operators, and internal research teams.  The role includes the responsibility for leading technical roadmap planning, helping select appropriate technologies, and guiding and reviewing new feature development to ensure alignment with the long-term vision.  To be successful, this individual will need to develop a complete understanding of the journey a quantum circuit takes from customer-facing libraries and APIs down to the execution of commands on our quantum hardware.  This candidate will be expected to lead the evolution of our quantum computer from an architecture supporting simple job execution to one capable of executing dynamic, quantum-error-corrected circuits.
Candidates will also be considered for Atom's location in Austin, TX and Berkeley, CA.  Under exceptional circumstances we may allow the position to be fully remote.

Job Requirements
  • Lead and mentor a team of domain experts
  • Drive collaboration between product and engineering to set the technical direction and strategy of our software platform
  • Drive architectural decisions, plans, goals, and strategies highlighting short-term trade-offs vs. long-term commitments on our software stack
  • Identify optimizations and remove roadblocks 
  • Align standards, frameworks, and security with overall business and technology strategies


  • Experience & Education
  • Bachelors in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required, Master’s Degree a plus
  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience identifying technologies and applications and defining solutions for incorporation into highly secure and resilient architectures


  • Qualifications
  • Experience working full system lifecycle (development through deployment to operations) 
  • Experience decomposing system-level requirements into program features
  • Working knowledge/skills in Python and C++/Rust
  • Experience with containerization platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • While not a requirement, understanding of present day quantum computers is a big plus.
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects in a changing work environment
  • Excellent communication skills, written and verbal
  • Eagerness to collaborate and build consensus
  • Strong organizational skills


  • Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance.  We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!
    The base salary range for this position is between $200,000 - $225,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer a bonus plan and incentive stock options for equity in the company.
    Atom Computing is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to Workplace Diversity.
