Quantum technology is likely to be as transformational in the 21st century as harnessing electricity was in the 19th. Quantum computing in particular promises to completely disrupt the way we process information – transforming previously uncomputable problems into manageable ones.
If you build or use quantum hardware, Q-CTRL provides the critical enabling software and professional services to help you achieve maximum performance. We empower our customers to realize the true potential of quantum technology, combining modern product design and engineering with state-of-the-art quantum control engineering techniques. Our ambition is to be the trusted provider of quantum control solutions across all applications of quantum technology.
We’re a venture-capital backed company with tier-1 investors including Sequoia Capital, DCVC, Sierra Ventures, and In-Q-Tel. Q-CTRL operates offices in the United States and Australia with team members able to enjoy workplace flexibility within these countries.
About the role
As a Back-end Engineer, you will be responsible for the development, testing and documentation of Q-CTRL’s microservices and client packages. It’s a great opportunity to make a real impact whilst contributing to Back-end Engineering best practices and delivering software that is elegant, efficient, secure, tested, and documented.
You will work closely with the Quantum Product Engineering, Front-end Engineering, DevOps Engineering, Product, Marketing and Design teams to advocate a culture and practice of quality and continuous improvement throughout the business.
What you will do:
- Be an active contributor in the Daily Scrum, Sprint Planning, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective meetings
- Develop, test, and document Q-CTRL’s APIs and associated microservices and client packages as part of delivering the above product features
- Review code submitted by your colleagues via pull requests
- Address comments made by your colleagues on your pull requests
- Stay up-to-date with current best practices in your field and share this knowledge freely
We would love to hear from you if…
- You have 3 to 5 years of experience with some of the following: Python, Django, Microservices, GraphQL, and Docker
- You have a Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent practical experience.
- You have full work rights in Australia (we do not offer visa sponsorship for this role)
- You embody Q-CTRL’s core values and you demonstrate them in your words and actions both internally and externally: you strive to be real, trusted, just, and revered.
- You are humble enough to bend to the will of the frameworks, technologies, constraints, and people you work with when doing so won’t have a materially negative impact. In other words, you can play by someone else’s rules when that’s the best thing to do.
- You make pragmatic technology choices at work and you play in your free time.
- You love to teach and learn from your co-workers.
- You don’t mind being the one that looks bad. You make mistakes sometimes. You choose to fix them and learn from them.
- You are confident with a number of programming languages, operating systems, and architectures. You probably have one of each you prefer right now, but you’re neither dogmatic nor myopic in your focus on them.
- You have a strong interest in deep tech
At Q-CTRL, you’ll work in a fascinating industry where you get to be a part of the 21st century’s most disruptive technology transformation. You can make a difference from day one and won’t be just a cog in the machine. We take a lot of pride in what we do and your contributions – big or small – will be celebrated and recognized.
To us, all teams are equally important and we value a respectful work environment where we can discuss and debate ideas, learn from each other and keep evolving.
You’ll get to live the startup life without the startup wages; we offer competitive salaries, a generous learning and development budget for you to keep upskilling yourself as you please, and a no-nonsense, non-hierarchical type of work environment. We also embrace flexible work hours and workplace location flexibility so you can worry about your global impact, not a rigid work schedule.
If you fit the above and you’re as excited as we are about building the quantum future, let’s talk!
