QuEra is hiring a scientific software engineer to maintain the domain-specific language and compiler stack that its physicists use to program neutral-atom quantum computers. The work covers issue triage, releases, CI and tests, supporting machine and testbed teams, and integrating compiled programs with the control system, including defining the representation passed between compiler and controls. The posting asks for strong Python with packaging and pytest, comfort debugging unfamiliar code across systems, and preferably compiler or SSA experience, ideally Kirin, MLIR or LLVM. A base salary range is listed.
