Senior Staff Orchestration Engineer

Location: This role is based at our Bothell, WA office, with the option to work a few days a week remotely.

Travel: Up to 10%, domestic and international.

Job ID: 1753

The Role:

At scale, quantum computers will be integrated into classical datacenters — combining the unique strengths of CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs will help us solve the world’s hardest problems. We’re building a cloud service that lets customers combine quantum and classical computation seamlessly, where the classical can be either general-purpose or high-performance computing (HPC). As a Senior Staff Software Engineer leading our hybrid execution efforts, you’ll define and build the platform that makes hybrid quantum-classical workloads easy to write, extend, and run in production.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and delivery of our Hosted Hybrid Service, partnering closely with product management to define the product and validate it
• Define the execution model for the hybrid service — how quantum-classical workloads are defined, how they can be extended, and how customers specify HPC computation when it’s needed
• Drive the infrastructure strategy for the classical compute — both HPC and non-HPC — that backs hybrid jobs, in partnership with our cloud infrastructure team
• Build and maintain a library of reusable quantum workloads for customers and internal teams to build on
• Establish best practices for code development, quality assurance, documentation, and continuous integration and deployment
• Collaborate across HPC, Cloud, and Product teams, and communicate with executive leadership
• Mentor junior staff members; we’ll ultimately be building a team around you!

You’d be a good fit with:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent practical experience -- untraditional backgrounds are welcome and encouraged!
• Demonstrated experience as a technical lead, with the ability to deliver projects in a dynamic and ambiguous environment
• 10+ years experience in software engineering
• Experience designing, building, and operating cloud-hosted services or APIs that external customers depend on
• Familiarity with containerization technologies such as Docker and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
• Experience defining extensible service or function models (e.g. plugin architectures or function-as-a-service)
• Experience designing developer-facing libraries or SDKs used by external customers

You’d be a great fit with:

• 15+ years experience in software engineering
• Experience with hybrid quantum-classical computing frameworks or quantum SDKs
• Experience integrating cloud services with HPC infrastructure
• Exposure to quantum physics and/or quantum information science
