Job description

Quantum Art is a full-stack quantum computing company developing advanced quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. We build the entire quantum computing stack—from hardware and control systems to cloud infrastructure and user-facing applications.

We are looking for an experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our software team and help build reliable, scalable, and production-ready platforms. In this role, you will work across the quantum software stack, developing modern frontend and backend services while taking end-to-end ownership—from architecture and implementation to deployment and production operations.

You will collaborate closely with our theoretical physicists to transform cutting-edge algorithms and research code into robust, production-grade software that powers our quantum computing platform.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services, RESTful APIs, and modern web applications with intuitive user interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with the theoretical physics team to integrate research algorithms into production-quality software.
• Build the infrastructure and software interfaces required to deliver physics-driven capabilities to customers.
• Deploy, operate, and maintain production systems across AWS and on-premises environments.
• Manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) best practices.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.
• Manage development, staging, and production environments.
• Develop and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end automated tests.
• Implement observability solutions, including logging, monitoring, metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
• Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve system reliability, performance, scalability, and security.
• Participate in system architecture, technical design discussions, code reviews, and engineering planning.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• BSc degree in computer science or similar studies
• Strong hands‑on experience building modern frontend applications using frontend technologies such as React (or a similar framework).
• Strong Python development skills with experience building production‑grade backend services and APIs.
• Proven experience delivering software products or major features from design through production.
• Experience designing scalable, highly available, and high‑performance distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of cloud architecture, networking, application security, and identity/access management.
• Hands‑on experience with cloud platforms, containers, and container orchestration.
• Experience with Terraform or another Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) framework.
• Experience implementing monitoring, metrics, dashboards, and observability solutions.
• Experience working with both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production operations.
• Strong ownership, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Docker, AWS ECS, Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS.
• Experience integrating scientific, research, or algorithmic software into production environments.
• Experience with message brokers or streaming platforms (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka, Amazon SQS).
• Experience working in a fast‑paced startup environment.
• Interest in quantum computing or other deep-technology domains.

General

• We are located at the Science Park, by the Weizmann institute.
• Full collaboration with the experimental & theoretical groups at the Weizmann Institute.
• Only relevant candidates will be contacted.
