● TALENT ONE MARKET INTELLIGENCE: ATOM COMPUTING

🔥 TALENT LIQUIDITY:
Extremely tight. The intersection of distributed systems expertise and the willingness to work on-prem in a deep-tech environment creates a 1:30 supply-to-demand ratio.

📈 ALPHA SIGNAL:
This role is a career-defining ‘moat’ builder. By leading the software stack for a quantum platform, you are positioning yourself for a C-suite trajectory in the next wave of computing, ensuring your mortgage is paid by the industry that replaces the silicon era.

EST. COMPENSATION
$210k – $275k Base + Significant Equity Upside
SECTOR HEAT
88.0/100
CANDIDATE PROTOCOL: Focus your narrative on ‘productizing’ complex research. Your moat is not knowing quantum mechanics; it is your ability to translate chaotic R&D into stable, scalable APIs and cloud-integrated workflows.

Official Role Description: Atom Computing

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
 
Atom Computing is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead the development of critical technologies that power Atom Computing’s quantum platform. In this role, you will grow and manage a team of engineers responsible for building the software stack that enables researchers and customers to program, operate, and scale next-generation quantum systems. You will help define the technical direction across externally facing APIs, cloud integrations, researcher workflows, and the productization of Atom’s quantum computers. This is a unique opportunity to lead greenfield development efforts at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, and quantum technologies.
 
While experience in quantum computing is not required, successful candidates will bring strong software architecture and leadership experience, along with curiosity and enthusiasm for learning new domains.
 
Due to hardware and the need to collaborate with on-prem teams, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder at least 3 days per week.
