The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is hiring a Software Development Engineer to develop our data applications and infrastructure with a focus on supporting our fabrication team. You will work closely with other Software Development Engineers, Research Scientists, and a Technical Program Manager.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations—from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

• Work directly with scientists and engineers to understand their problems and propose workable solutions. Translate user stories into software design documents demonstrating sensible trade-offs between complexity and delivery.
• Implementation of design proposals in a logical and maintainable manner. Take ownership of the stability and quality of the software stack by identifying, proposing, and implementing features that accelerate the realization of quantum computing technologies.
• Identify bottlenecks, pain points, integration issues, and develop improvements to the fabrication team's workflows.

We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, a bias for action, superior problem‑solving skills, and excellent communication skills. Candidates should also possess a genuine curiosity and readiness to grasp the domain knowledge of our research scientists. Working effectively within a team environment is essential. As a software engineer embedded in a research organization, you will have the opportunity to work on new ideas and contribute to the development of fault‑tolerant quantum computers.

• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines to keep data in sync between custom MES solutions and our broader ecosystem.
• Develop features for streamlining fabrication planning, timeline estimation and retrospective analysis of product flows.
• Develop charting frameworks to allow research scientists to easily plot and correlate data from various data sources.
• Design database schemas modeling processes and artifacts of our fabrication workflow.

• 3+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non‑internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience.
• Experience building services using AWS products.
• Experience developing a Manufacturing Execution System.
• Experience working with scientists in a research/fabrication environment.
