About the role
As a Software Engineer on the Boulder Opal team, you will work with brilliant engineers and researchers to design and build a scalable, high-performance backend system while directly contributing to our quantum controller infrastructure.
A key part of your role will be maintaining and evolving the compiler stack that translates OpenQASM3 + OpenPulse programs for low-level quantum controllers, bridging the gap between high-level quantum programming and physical execution on QPUs. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, product, infrastructure, frontend, and research, ensuring end-to-end delivery of cutting-edge solutions that power our SDKs and cloud-based offerings.
This role is ideal for someone passionate about backend engineering and systems-level programming, with an interest in quantum computing and scientific software.
