Senior Software Engineer - Seattle, United States - IonQ
Description
The salary range for this position is $153,003 - $200,321.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build the next generation of our systems control platform that runs on our world class quantum computers. Never worked in quantum computing before? It's much like a system for a robot, managing feedback loops at various time scales between sensors and actuators to create a precisely tuned environment where we can perform high fidelity quantum computations. In this role, you'll help develop the hardware abstraction layer and non-real time devices control logic that helps keep the computer in the optimal quantum state.
