Practical quantum computing. Delivered over the cloud. Backed by a16z and Alchemist.
About the role
ISW enables Rigetti's physicists and fabrication engineers to build better quantum hardware. Our work spans the measurement and characterization platform our quantum engineers rely on every day; the design, layout, and process tooling in our in-house chip fabrication facility; the cloud and on-site infrastructure underneath both; and the analytic environments in between. We also support external customers through our cloud services and on-site deployments. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- What You Bring
- Strong Python, with experience building and running production backend or serving systems
- Experience working in large, evolving codebases, and the judgment to improve them without slowing down the people who depend on them
- Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases, PostgreSQL a plus
- Experience with AWS and a typical cloud stack (Kubernetes, Kafka, Postgres, Grafana or equivalents)
- A track record of working cross-functionally with scientists or other deeply technical peers, and genuine enjoyment of helping them do their best work, especially as requirements change with the science
More about this role
At Rigetti, our mission is to build the world's most powerful computers to solve the world's most challenging problems. Rigetti is a pioneer in superconducting qubits and full-stack quantum computing systems. In addition to introducing the first multi-chip quantum processor, Rigetti has led the way in software systems for quantum computing, with a distributed operating environment for hybrid quantum-classical computing and a state-of-the-art characterization and measurement platform.
To continue advancing this work, we're expanding our Internal Software (ISW) team.
