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
QuEra is standing up a new AI Engineering team to help every group in the company put AI to work. We are hiring senior founding engineers to set its bar. In this role, you will turn the highest-value ideas from our company-wide AI workshop into real, deployable tools, and build LLM- and agent-powered software that makes our slow, expensive, and expertise-gated steps faster, cheaper, and more accessible — from machine build and bringup to everyday engineering.
What they're looking for
- Build and ship internal AI tools and features end to end — from a rough idea to a deployed and maintained product
- Set the technical direction and reusable patterns the AI Engineering team builds on and raise the engineering bar across the company by example
- Design and deploy LLM and agentic systems — retrieval, tool use, orchestration, and evaluation — with sensible guardrails and humans in charge where it matters
- Partner with engineering, hardware, operations, and other teams to turn their ideas into working tools they can own
- Create shared components, templates, and infrastructure that let other teams build faster
- Right-size models and optimize for cost, latency, and reliability, instrument usage and quality

Role Overview
QuEra is standing up a new AI Engineering team to help every group in the company put AI to work. We are hiring senior founding engineers to set its bar.

This senior, high-autonomy role is designed specifically for someone at the top of their craft. You will own projects end to end, set the technical patterns the team builds on, and raise the bar for how AI software is built across QuEra. You bring deep, modern AI application-engineering expertise that complements our in-house physics, controls, and hardware strength — and you help us build that talent quickly. A background in quantum computing is not required.
