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 device and architecture theory and device design. You will work closely with other Software Development Engineers, Research Scientists, and a Technical Program Manager.

Key job responsibilities
* 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. 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.
* Identify bottlenecks, pain points, integration issues, and develop improvements to the design 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.

Example projects include:

* Build and maintain cloud infrastructure to facilitate physics simulation workloads.
* Develop a framework enabling research scientists to orchestrate and administer their simulations.
* Enhance the modeling and error estimation capabilities of simulation pipelines by incorporating advanced statistical techniques.
* Design database schemas modeling processes and artifacts of our processor design workflow
