We are growing our software engineering team and looking for Senior Software Engineers to join us either in Espoo, Finland, or Munich, Germany. 

We are developing and maintaining a software stack that enables the practical use of quantum computing to solve complex computational problems for our customers. Our current tech stack includes Python, Docker, GitLab, and Linux.

You will bring solid professional software development experience, having been a part of teams creating and maintaining released software products. Strong teamwork and collaboration skills are highly valued. 

In particular, we are looking for at least one new team member with expertise in designing and developing the software's persistence layer. We currently utilize PostgreSQL for this purpose. 

What will I be doing?

• Write high-quality, high-performance code that is a joy to maintain.
• Design features, plan releases, and shape the architecture of our software stack, while participating in refining technical requirements.
• Develop automated testing, perform code reviews, test software, and create documentation.
• Contribute to the release process of our software products.
• Collaborate closely with team members from diverse backgrounds in software engineering and quantum physics to enhance our software stack.

What skills do I need?

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in software development.
• Experience in developing and maintaining software products.
• Proficiency in multiple programming languages and tech stacks, with a passion for continuous learning. Python is preferred, but other languages are welcome.
• Familiarity with GitLab for CI/CD pipelines and Docker for containerization.
• Experience with automated testing tools (e.g., Jest, Jasmine, etc.) and a strong understanding of software release processes.
• Fluency in spoken and written English.

We Value Candidates Who Have:

• MSc or BSc in Computer Science, Physics, or equivalent.
• Experience in API design, implementation, and maintenance.
  
• Experience in planning, developing, and testing timing performance-critical software products.
• Experience in database design, development, and maintenance. Experience with PostgreSQL is ideal, although other database systems are acceptable.

What can I expect from IQM?

• A chance to be part of a world-class R&D team.
• Opportunities to learn and contribute to the cutting-edge field of quantum computing.
• Access to quantum computers for testing and prototyping as part of your role.
• A creative, diverse, and open start-up environment that supports growth and professional development.
