• Architect the software: Drive long-term architectural strategy, including the high-level software package structure and the design of clean hardware abstraction layers.

• Ecosystem Collaboration: Drive technical collaboration, integration and data hands-offs with third parties.

• Experience: 5+ years of professional software leadership experience, with a proven track record of architecting, delivering, and maintaining production-grade software; ideally interfacing with physical hardware, instrumentation, or complex scientific systems.

• Leadership & Hiring: Proven engineering management background with demonstrated success recruiting, mentoring, and retaining senior software engineers and domain specialist engineers in a fast-paced environment.

• Technical Proficiency: Deep expertise in the Python ecosystem, modern software architecture principles, modular package structure, and third-party interfacing.

• Cross-Functional Communication: Excellent leadership and communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate with scientific domain experts.

• Domain expertise: Any experience with (superconducting) quantum computing hardware or a closely related field is considered a plus.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection.

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare

We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know great candidates don't always follow a straight path, and we value diverse experience, perspectives, and ways of thinking. We know this helps us make better decisions, drives more innovation, and strengthens our culture.

As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

Superconducting Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) require sophisticated classical software to characterise, calibrate and run quantum applications. At QuantWare, our software stack is a critical part of QPU development, manufacturing, and deployment, enabling the rapid advancement of quantum hardware.

QuantWare is looking for an exceptional Software Manager to drive our software development. In this role, you will own our calibration software roadmap and manage, grow and develop a team of experts in quantum devices and software engineering.
