Scientific Software Engineer — Emulation & Application

Job description

Summary QuEra Computing Inc. is building the world's most scalable quantum computers using neutral-atom technology. Based in Boston and founded by the pioneers of neutral-atom quantum platforms at Harvard and MIT, QuEra is developing quantum computers that push the boundaries of what is computationally possible — from materials science and drug discovery to machine learning. QuEra is seeking a Scientific Software Engineer to develop and maintain our in-house quantum hardware emulator and support application research building on top of and utilizing the emulation toolchain. In this role, you will implement high-performance quantum circuit simulation backends, build tooling that enables researchers to rapidly prototype and validate quantum algorithms, and contribute to the software infrastructure that bridges our hardware capabilities with real-world applications. This role sits at the intersection of scientific computing and quantum application development. You will help shape the emulation layer that underpins algorithm design, hardware benchmarking, and customer-facing demonstrations — providing researchers, both internal and external, a faithful, fast model of QuEra’s quantum pro...
