Quantum Error Correction Software Engineer

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The work

You will build the software layer that helps our teams run quantum error correction experiments faster, more reliably, and with more room for exploration. You will work closely with domain experts such as quantum researchers and experimental teams, translating between what they need to test and what our systems must execute.

What you'll actually do Design and implement software for quantum error correction experiments, from high level domain specific language input to lower level language output

Build flexible and scalable data pipelines converting quantum experiment outputs into logical level observables for fault tolerance analysis and data driven decision making by experimentalists and theorists

Develop internal modularity and configurability so researchers can adapt experiments without rewriting core components

Support the implementation of real time decoding and feedforward for quantum error correction experiments

Collaborate closely with domain experts through bidirectional knowledge transfer, turning research needs into clear engineering work and sharing software insights back to the team

Participate in daily standups and weekly design and planning meetings, contributing to healthy delivery and good technical decisions

What we're looking for A relevant degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or similar, or equivalent practical experience

Strong software development experience in one or more of Python, C++, Rust, or similar language
