The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is seeking a Sr. Software Development Engineer to lead the technical direction of our software team responsible for accelerating the hardware operations flywheel. You will work closely with other Software Development Engineers, Research Scientists, and a Technical Program Manager.
Key job responsibilities
* You will lead the system architecture design, introduce best practices and influence the team’s long-term decisions to ensure high-quality products. You will also mentor and develop other engineers.
* You will work directly with scientists and engineers to understand their problems and propose workable solutions. Translate user stories into software design documents demonstrating sensible trade-offs between complexity and delivery.
* You will design software and implement it in a logical and maintainable manner. Taking ownership over the stability and quality of the software stack by identifying, proposing, and implementing features that will accelerate our realization of quantum computing technologies.
* You will identify bottlenecks, pain points, integration issues, and develop improvements to the fabrication team's workflows.
We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, a bias for action, superior problem-solving skills, and excellent communication skills. Candidates should also possess a genuine curiosity and readiness to grasp the domain knowledge of our research scientists. Working effectively within a team environment is essential. As a software engineer embedded in a research organization, you will have the opportunity to work on new ideas and contribute to the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Example projects include:
* Build and maintain data streaming pipelines from our fabrication tools.
* Deploying forecasting ML models to production for predictive maintenance of our fabrication tools.
* Develop features for streamlining fabrication planning, timeline estimation and retrospective analysis of product flows.
* Design database schemas modeling processes and artifacts of our device lifecycle workflow
