Your responsibilities:
- Build and ship features for LabOne Q end-to-end (design, implementation, testing, documentation).
- Elevate the developer and user experience for teams operating large-scale hardware systems (including QPUs).
- Design robust architectures, clean APIs, and integrations (e.g., Python SDKs, external frameworks).
- Drive performance, scalability, and reliability; profile, optimize, benchmark.
- Improve code quality and delivery with automated tests, CI/CD, and observability.
- Debug complex issues across the stack (UI, services, drivers, data paths) and deliver fixes.
- Collaborate with R&D and product on requirements, technical direction, and roadmap.
Your profile:
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience; PhD welcome but not required.
- 5+ years building production Python software: clean architecture, type hints, packaging, testing, and code reviews.
- Strong API and integration skills (Python SDKs, REST/gRPC) with attention to reliability and backward compatibility.
- Proficiency in concurrency and performance (asyncio/multiprocessing, profiling, optimization).
- Solid engineering practices: automated tests, CI/CD, reproducible builds, and observability.
- Excellent debugging and problem-solving across the stack; collaborative communicator.
- Fluent in English.
- Hardware/instrument control or real-time/embedded experience (e.g., VISA/SCPI, drivers).
- Scientific computing (NumPy/SciPy), data streaming/queues, containers/orchestration.
- Rust, C/C++ interop (pybind11/Cython) or GPU/accelerator experience.
- Interest in quantum control/automation; familiarity with Qiskit/OpenQASM is a plus.
