Scientific Software Developer | Développeur de logiciels scientifiques
About The Position
Anyon Systems is a quantum computing hardware company located in the Greater Montreal Region with a presence in Waterloo, Ontario. We work at the cutting edge of technology to develop and commercialize superconducting quantum computers. The company is rapidly growing and has both hardware and software groups to achieve its R&D goals. Role Overview We are seeking an Intermediate Scientific Software Developer to contribute to the development of our quantum computing software stack. In this role, you will work at the intersection of physics and software engineering, implementing and scaling experimental characterization protocols, benchmarking methodologies, and advanced control and compilation techniques for superconducting qubit systems. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and scalability of quantum hardware—enabling faster experimental iteration, improving qubit fidelity, and advancing quantum processors toward practical, real-world applications. You will collaborate closely with quantum physicists and hardware engineers to translate experimental and theoretical concepts into reliable, high-performance software systems and production-ready tools.
