Résumé du poste

Alice & Bob is building the first universal fault-tolerant quantum computer and seeks a Senior Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain low-level software close to hardware. You will act as a technical leader to drive architecture and mentor engineers, shaping the software stack for reliability and performance.

You will develop low-level drivers and hardware abstractions for control electronics, work with physicists to model interfaces, and steer long-term architectural decisions to

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience designing low-level software close to hardware.
• Strong Python proficiency.
• Ability to define clean abstractions and synchronization for hardware/software loops.
• Hands-on experience with drivers or low-level interfaces for hardware instruments.

Responsabilités

• Design and maintain low-level drivers and hardware abstraction layers for control electronics — including signal generators, AWGs, digitizers, and custom FPGA-based instruments
• Define clean hardware/software interfaces that decouple control electronics from higher-level experiment logic, enabling fast hardware iteration without breaking the software stack
• Collaborate closely with physicists and researchers to ensure models and interfaces reflect real experimental needs and enable fast iteration
• Drive long-term architectural strategy, technical roadmap, and cross-organizational alignment
• Mentor teams, challenge assumptions, and lead architecture reviews across the platform department
