The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is hiring a Front End Engineer to design and develop intuitive web applications to support our scientists’ data management and visualization complex workflows. You will collaborate closely with Software Development Engineers, Research Scientists, and Technical Program Managers to ensure our frontend solutions meet the unique needs of quantum computing research and development. Your work will directly impact the productivity and effectiveness of our quantum device design, fabrication, and testing processes.

Key job responsibilities
* Work directly with scientists and engineers to understand their problems and propose workable solutions. Collect user stories and translate them into UX and software design documents, demonstrating sensible trade-offs between complexity and delivery.
* Implementation of design proposals in a logical and maintainable manner. Taking ownership over the stability and quality of the software stack by identifying, proposing, and implementing features that will accelerate our realization of quantum computing technologies.

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.

Example projects include:

* Creating a web application for configuration management of experimental apparatus
* Improving user experiences for technicians doing QA on device fabrication products
* Developing intuitive user interfaces for fabrication process management tools
