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.
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.
Due to the need for collaboration with Atom’s physics, software and hardware teams, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder at least 3 days per week.
