Senior Software Engineer, Internal Systems

ISW enables Rigetti's physicists and fabrication engineers to build better quantum hardware. Our work spans the measurement and characterization platform our quantum engineers rely on every day; the design, layout, and process tooling in our in-house chip fabrication facility; the cloud and on-site infrastructure underneath both; and the analytic environments in between. We also support external customers through our cloud services and on-site deployments. Our users are deeply expert in their own fields, and our job is to give them software that helps them move faster and trust their results.

We're a small, senior team that enjoys hard problems and working alongside people who know things we don't. The work is a mix of strengthening the experimental Python systems our scientists depend on and building new ones as the science moves forward. Because ISW touches so much of the company, there's real room to grow, whether that means going deeper in an area you care about or taking on something new as Rigetti evolves. It's a rare chance to do serious software engineering a few steps from the hardware itself: the code you write shapes how quantum chips are designed, built, and measured.
