Senior Software Engineer, Non-Realtime Quantum Controllers

Entangled Future; Oxford; Hybrid; GBP 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

IonQ in Oxford, England, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for non-realtime controllers. You will own device controllers end to end, design APIs, implement and roll out services, and maintain ongoing operational health across our quantum compute fleet.

You will collaborate with systems engineers and scientists, strengthening observability, health checks and alerting. This hands-on role stays technical as you grow within the Compute - Engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Own a group of device controllers end to end, covering API design, implementation, rollout and ongoing operational health.
• Make services robust against the ways real instruments fail.
• Bring devices onto our current framework, and roll the result out across the fleet without disrupting running experiments.
• Improve the shared framework where a problem turns out to be common to many controllers rather than specific to one.
• Work closely with the systems teams and scientists who depend on these services, and strengthen observability, health checking and alerting.
• Raise the standard of the code around you through review, and bring less experienced engineers on by working alongside them.
