QuEra Computing is the leading provider of quantum computers based on neutral-atoms. Our mission is to build the most scalable quantum computers. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our QPU SW Engineering team. In this role, you will develop the software that orchestrates and controls our quantum hardware stack—from real-time control of lasers and FPGAs to system-wide configuration, diagnostics, and feedback. Working closely with physicists, systems architects, and hardware engineers, you’ll build the tools and infrastructure that enable precise, reliable, and scalable quantum operations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design and implement software systems for orchestrating quantum experiments, including pulse sequence generation, device coordination, and real-time system control
- Develop and maintain APIs and middleware that connect hardware control layers (e.g., FPGA, DACs, timing systems) with higher-level orchestration software and compilers
- Implement reliable communication and synchronization protocols across embedded and distributed system components
- Collaborate with system architects and physicists to translate experimental requirements into testable, high-performance software features
- Contribute to diagnostic and calibration routines for hardware validation and performance monitoring
- Develop tooling to support automation, test infrastructure, system state management, and logging
