Job description
Description
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
We are looking to hire a software development engineer to work closely with scientists and engineers on the Device team.
In this role, you will work to: 1) improve the efficiency & robustness of automated data collection from our quantum devices across the full stack and 2) build software solutions for improving the visualization & reporting of the collected data.
Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.
We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
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.
Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony.
Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture.
When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
