About The Position

Quantum Art is a full-stack quantum computing company developing advanced quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. We build the entire quantum computing stack—from hardware and control systems to cloud infrastructure and user-facing applications. We are looking for an experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our software team and help build reliable, scalable, and production-ready platforms. In this role, you will work across the quantum software stack, developing modern frontend and backend services while taking end-to-end ownership—from architecture and implementation to deployment and production operations. You will collaborate closely with our theoretical physicists to transform cutting-edge algorithms and research code into robust, production-grade software that powers our quantum computing platform.

Requirements

3+ years of professional software development experience.
BSc degree in computer science or similar studies
Strong hands-on experience building modern frontend applications using frontend technologies such as React (or a similar framework).
Strong Python development skills with experience building production-grade backend services and APIs.
Proven experience delivering software products or major features from design through production.
Experience designing scalable, highly available, and high-performance distributed systems.
Solid understanding of cloud architecture, networking, application security, and identity/access management.
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, containers, and container orchestration.
Experience with Terraform or another Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) framework.
Experience implementing monitoring, metrics, dashboards, and observability solutions.
Experience working with both SQL and NoSQL databases.
Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production operations.
Strong ownership, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Docker, AWS ECS, Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS.
Experience integrating scientific, research, or algorithmic software into production environments.
Experience with message brokers or streaming platforms (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka, Amazon SQS).
Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment.
Interest in quantum computing or other deep-technology domains.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services, RESTful APIs, and modern web applications with intuitive user interfaces.
Collaborate closely with the theoretical physics team to integrate research algorithms into production-quality software.
Build the infrastructure and software interfaces required to deliver physics-driven capabilities to customers.
Deploy, operate, and maintain production systems across AWS and on-premises environments.
Manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) best practices.
Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.
Manage development, staging, and production environments.
Develop and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end automated tests.
Implement observability solutions, including logging, monitoring, metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve system reliability, performance, scalability, and security.
Participate in system architecture, technical design discussions, code reviews, and engineering planning.
