About the role

  • Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward.
  • At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation:
  • We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact.
  • We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities.
  • We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail.
  • We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress.
  • We are seeking a Software Technical Lead to join the team building the control system software for Infleqtion’s quantum computers as both an individual contributor and manager for a handful of other engineers on the team. The ideal candidate is an experienced backend engineer with a strong background in creating robust and scalable scientific applications who also has an interest in people management to help their team-mates achieve their potential. You will play a crucial leadership role in designing, building, and maintaining backend services and control systems that drive our neutral atom quantum processors.
  • JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
  • The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time.
  • Design, develop, and deploy reliable, maintainable, scalable, and fault-tolerant backend services and frameworks that control and calibrate our neutral atom quantum computers.
  • Mentor and guide software engineers as direct reports, fostering their growth and enhancing the team's technical expertise.
  • Lead code and design reviews, upholding engineering best practices and promoting a culture of quality and collaboration.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including scientists, opto-mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers, to solve complex problems and deliver high-quality software solutions.
  • Empower interdisciplinary teams to create the tools they need by teaching engineering and programming best practices.
  • Support and debug all layers of the control stack from real-time embedded kernels to distributed services.
  • Advocate for and implement innovative software development methodologies and tools to improve team efficiency and product quality.
