  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, especially when software APIs, product direction, and hardware capabilities are still evolving
Nice to have
  • Exposure to compiler concepts, intermediate representations, circuit compilation, or hardware-aware quantum programming
  • Practical understanding of APIs, versioning, backwards compatibility, documentation systems, testing, CI/CD, and release communication
  • Experience with quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, neutral-atom systems, or related research workflows
  • Awareness of the modern tooling landscape for fault-tolerant quantum computing research, including circuit simulators, QEC decoders, resource estimation tools, logical compilation workflows, and hardware-aware emulation tools
