About the job

Google's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale quantum computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Responsibilities

Develop compiler for translating logical quantum computations to detailed low-level programs that realize quantum computations fault-tolerantly.
Develop software system for real-time diagnostics of errors that inevitably occur in quantum computations due to noise and decoherence, using syndrome information from the quantum computer's readout electronics.
Develop software framework for performance benchmarking of the above system for real-time error diagnostics.
Develop simulations of error correction experiments.
Gather software requirements by collaborating with researchers on error correction experiments and simulations.
