Summary QuEra Computing, Inc. seeks a creative and collaborative Scientific Software Engineer to help solve the unique software challenges of integrating high-level applications into state-of-the-art neutral-atom quantum computers. You will have the opportunity to work with a vibrant scientific software team and a community of industry and academic collaborators and to help our growing team of diverse experts address fascinating challenges, ranging from classical compiler techniques to direct integration with low-level hardware components. Using our open-source toolchain, Kirin, you will be building QuEra’s compiler pipeline together with experimental & computational physicists from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming languages. This involves the development of new features and infrastructure for hardware execution. You will be co-designing compilers and hardware infrastructure for the next generation of quantum computing using cutting-edge neutral-atom and quantum error correction technologies. This emerging direction involves novel challenges in both engineering and science.   In this Japan-based role, you will focus on  movement/shuttling-aware compilation and optimization  and support engagement of users of QuEra’s  Gemini-class  neutral-atom system integrated into AIST’s  ABCIQ  hybrid quantum-classical computing environment.   Responsibilities Develop and maintain compiler components and APIs for  atom shuttling / movement-aware compilation , contributing directly to  Bloqade Shuttle  and  Bloqade Lanes . Implement and improve optimization methods  relevant to shuttling workflows (e.g., routing/scheduling/planning heuristics, constraint-aware transformations, and cost-model-driven compilation decisions). Collaborate with scientists and hardware/control teams to translate experimental constraints into robust compiler abstractions and execution-ready instruction streams (including shuttling and related low-level features). Provide customer and collaborator support in Japan , including issue triage, reproducing bugs, delivering fixes, and supporting integration/operations for the  ABCIQ / AIST  deployment. Uphold strong engineering practices in public repos: code review, CI/testing, release hygiene, and thoughtful API evolution.   Qualifications Ph.D. in Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. Strong software engineering skills in Python  (type hints, testing, packaging, tooling), and comfort working across a scientific codebase. Experience with at least one of: optimization ,  graph algorithms ,  routing/scheduling ,  path planning , or related algorithmic areas. Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines (software, AMO/experimental physics, hardware/control, applications). Fluent in Japanese and English  for technical communication with customers and the global team. Demonstrable experience contributing to open-source projects on GitHub  (PRs, reviews, issue-driven development).   Preferred Qualifications Background in  AMO physics  and/or neutral-atom quantum computing concepts relevant to shuttling and gate-model execution. Experience with  compiler infrastructure  (IR design, SSA-based approaches, LLVM/MLIR-style concepts) or DSL/eDSL development.   Experience with Rust in addition to Python.   Familiarity with  quantum error correction  workflows and hardware/software co-design in hybrid quantum-classical settings.     科学ソフトウェアエンジニア  -  シャトルコンパイル（日本）
