At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

Atom Computing is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead the development of critical technologies that power Atom Computing’s quantum platform. In this role, you will grow and manage a team of engineers responsible for building the software stack that enables researchers and customers to program, operate, and scale next-generation quantum systems. You will help define the technical direction across externally facing APIs, cloud integrations, researcher workflows, and the productization of Atom’s quantum computers. This is a unique opportunity to lead greenfield development efforts at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, and quantum technologies.

While experience in quantum computing is not required, successful candidates will bring strong software architecture and leadership experience, along with curiosity and enthusiasm for learning new domains.

Due to hardware and the need to collaborate with on-prem teams, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder at least 3 days per week.

Lead and mentor of 8 to 10 software engineers to perform at their best.

Collaborate with Control Systems, Quantum Engineering, and Quantum Applications Engineering, to set the software architecture and roadmap.

Provide timely, value-added code reviews in Gitlab and feedback on architecture documents

Oversee integrations with quantum software frameworks and toolchains such as CUDA-Q, Qiskit, Cirq, and related ecosystem tools.

Collaborate on performance optimization across classical and quantum workloads, including GPU and HPC acceleration strategies.

Assist in the definition, implementation, and rollout of new software features

MS or PhD in Computer Science, or related field.

8+ years of post-degree experience as a software engineer.

2+ years of managing a team of engineers, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.

Track record of managing a high performing team of software engineers.

Demonstrated experience designing and managing high availability distributed systems.

Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python or Rust or C++

Experience with database programming and management (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis)

Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects in a changing work environment
